A bathtub shaped toilet?

A bathtub shaped toilet?

Oh I see it now.
The proportions are a bit off.

I love the film but I don't think the artwork is very good for an Arrow release. I will need to see in hand pics before I decide.

 

[nekromantik]

UK - Shivers

 

[severo]

this version is CUT!
missing two short scenes

- approx. 4 seconds are missing from the scene in which

Spoiler

Tudor attempts to administer the parasites orally to Linsky

(87:53)

arrow on fb.:

The new restoration of Shivers, carried out by TIFF and both supervised and approved by David Cronenberg, is missing four-to-five seconds of footage compared to the original theatrical cut. This may be at Cronenberg’s request or it may be owing to the source materials used for the restoration. Either way, we are investigating the situation thoroughly and will have a full answer as soon as we can.

I was going to pre-order this, and then lack of fundage put a stop to that. That said, I watched this on Netflix over the weekend.
I'm glad I didn't get it now. Really thought it was just... awful.
