Fantastic news. One of my favorites. Several peak-era Cronenberg horrors seriously need new 4k restorations, as some were poorly handled on blu. Hopefully we see a 4K release for Shivers on this side side of the pond as well, and more of his peak back-catalog to come soon behind.

One of my 3 favorite Cronenbergs. Does NSM Records have an established track record re: UHD?

CelestialAgent · 04-03-2023, 02:25 PM

The only UHDs I’m really aware of from them are Halloween series.

Nope, only Garbage Quality so far.

I thought only film prints survive for Shivers?

The currently available restoration was completed from an internegative or interpositive iirc. You're thinking of the movie in its uncut form that only exists as a print; the best source has 5 seconds missing from it. Those 5 seconds were taken from the uncut print and matched.

Either they found the negative or the restoration is being done again at 4k which would look better even-so. I'm waiting on the eventual Arrow release for this one though.

I believe it was restored around the same time as the master of Rabid that Arrow used for their Blu-ray. I think both were from prints as they look like they were and Shivers has cue marks too (I know that cue marks can still appear on INs and even IPs but still). I thought at the time that prints must have been the best-surviving elements for both films but SF didn't seem to have a problem finding the negative for Rabid not too long after Arrow's release.

The old DVD for Shivers looks like it utilized a higher quality source than a print so hopefully it survived and the negative or another pre-print element has been located for this new UHD. I haven't heard that the negative for Shivers has been lost or is too damaged to restore so it's possible that TIFF just figured that restoring a print was good enough for their purposes.

Will be interesting to see how the quality turns out on this one, this film always gets the short end of the stick in the states

There are 5 covers, waiting for the cover C.

I apologize, I got the threads mixed up and for some reason thought this was the thread for the Die Teufelswolke von Monteville BD from Anolis.

Has anybody managed to get this early and can comment on the quality? It's out tomorrow in Germany but it sadly seems that there's not much interest in this. If NSM have located a better source than a print for this release then that would be awesome news.

Sorry to hear that. Amazon used to do that to me all the time, stringing me out on various preorders for weeks on end after street date, then just randomly canceling my orders altogether. Part of why I’ve totally stopped using them.
