Shivers Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman March 4, 2024

Lionsgate is teaming with Wal-Mart to offer a trio of previously released titles, now with SteelBook packaging. Interestingly, two out of the three, Little Monsters and this film, further bear the Vestron Video imprint, leaving Kickboxer the outlier in that regard.


Those interested can head over to my Shivers of Lionsgate's first Blu-ray release for more information.

Shivers Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  4.0 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. The SteelBook is bathed in green, watery tones and features a fun design element of a woman's hair traversing both the front and back panels. As with the other simultaneous Lionsgate SteelBook releases, there's really not much to the interior panels, as can be seen in the sixth and seventh photos I've uploaded to accompany this review. A digital copy is also included.


Shivers Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Even diehard David Cronenberg fans might be hard pressed to make the case that this is A list material from the writer and director, but for fans of the film who might not have picked up the first release or who are fans of SteelBooks, this jade green cover is nicely designed.
