Sliver
"Nice to see an erotic thriller hit 4K but Sliver isn’t the greatest, in my opinion. The picture looks very good throughout and I’m a big fan of these hard box, book and slipcase editions from Vinegar Syndrome so a good purchase overall."
This special limited edition 2-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray set comes with a spot gloss hard slipcase + slipcover combo (designed by Adam Maida), includes a 40-page perfect bound book and is limited to 8,000 units. It is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.
Carly Norris (Sharon Stone, Basic Instinct), a new resident of the chic, high-tech, and ultra-thin (like a sliver) Manhattan apartment building 113, is a divorcee looking for a good time. She finds that in her neighbor Zeke (William Baldwin, Backdraft), a wealthy video game designer-cum-playboy who harbors a dark secret which her other neighbor Jack (Tom Berenger, The Substitute) is all too willing to go into detail on. As Carly navigates her sexual tryst with Zeke and Jack's increasing paranoia, deaths in 113 begin to pile up as do revelations about the prior tenant in Carly's apartment, who died under mysterious circumstances.
One of the essential erotic thrillers of the early 90s, from director Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games) and writer Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct, Showgirls), who adapted the novel by Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby), SLIVER is a marvelously twisted neo-noir with a supporting cast that includes Colleen Camp (Death Game), Martin Landau (Ed Wood), and CCH Pounder (TV’s The Shield). Photographed by acclaimed Oscar-winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and scored by three-time Oscar winner Howard Shore (Silence of the Lambs), Vinegar Syndrome proudly brings this envelope-pushing box office hit to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative under the supervision of director Phillip Noyce and presented in its unrated version.

"Nice to see an erotic thriller hit 4K but Sliver isn’t the greatest, in my opinion. The picture looks very good throughout and I’m a big fan of these hard box, book and slipcase editions from Vinegar Syndrome so a good purchase overall."
"Sharon Stone's follow up to Basic Instinct was ahead of its time. She shot an entire film about vouerism and watchign people without consent in a time when flock cameras are watching you without yours. So timely. Only sliver also has an unsolved murder. The Box art is stunning. The film quality if also stunning. And I loved the accompanying book."
"Think of the Zillow listings for these apartments today… Built-in OnlyFans recording suites! What seemed outrageous at the time - cameras in every apartment - is downright quaint today. Otherwise this is a big snooze fest. Fantastic packaging as always, too bad it’s lipstick on a two-way mirror."
"Love this release. Slipcase is nice, transfer is gorgeous"
"Essential for all the 90's erotic thriller fans! Sliver seems to get a lot of flack but I find it to be Sharon Stone's next hottest performance after Basic Instinct. It's a pleasure to see it packaged and presented in high quality packed with bonus features."
"The packaging is exquisite. One of the best looking boxes on my shelf. The film is very much of it's time. The transfer looks incredible. Top notch quality all around. And Sharon Stone ascending to her absolute peak."
"This “erotic” snooze fest has very little going for it other than the beautiful and capable Sharon Stone who tries her best with the material that is beneath her talents. With a confused plot and childish dialogue meant to be provocative, the only thing sleazy about this film is Joe Eszterhas. In Sliver, all the men are creepy predators and the women are aggressively horny. It’s noir cosplay typical of numerous erotic thrillers of the 90s. Beyond that, the 4K restoration is exquisite, the packaging eye-catching. Mildly recommended."
"Erotic! Thrilling! Baldwin!"
"Looks great uncut in 4K and some good bonus features. Always liked this one."
"Sleazy!"
