Powerhouse Films under their Indicator label are set to release The Shiver of the Vampires on both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray this May 2023 in the UK.
This is not a film I’ve ever seen or heard of but clearly Indicator think it’s one that deserves a 4K and Bluray release.
The Shiver of the Vampires (1971) aka Le Frisson des Vampires is a horror film by French director Jean Rollin and stars Sandra Julien, Jean-Marie Durand, Jacques Ribiolles, Michel Delahaye and Marie-Pierre Castel.
The plot centres on a newlywed couple that stay the night at an old castle that just happens to be inhabited by a horde of vampires.
Hopefully the picture quality will be excellent as this is a “New 4K HDR restoration from the internegative by Powerhouse Films”.
