Pretty Packaging: Take A Look At This Shameless Edition Of THE WASHING MACHINE

(It's... The Case of the Yellow Case!)

UK-based distributor Shameless is known for releasing films which tend to be known as "guilty pleasures", films with an above-decent amount of nudity and/or violence. And instead of hiding the sleaze-factor, Shameless often accentuates this in the packaging they use, which is rarely subtle. For example: in the past, they have used lenticular fronts on their releases, and moving the angle of the image a little would reveal a breast, a muzzle flash, an exploding head...

Well, a few weeks ago they released a DVD of Ruggero Deodato's sleazy 1993 thriller Mortal Vortex aka. The Washing Machine, in which a woman discovers a corpse in her washing machine. And Shameless did something special.

They got Graham Humphries (who recently made that gorgeous poster for Astron 6's The Editor) to design a steelbook which looks like... a bloody washing machine.

How shameless!

So we took a few pictures of it. Enjoy...

And this is what it looks like: a steelbook, with the front resembling a washing machine with a bloody corpse inside. Cute.

Also, seeing as how the film inside is considered to be a "giallo" of sorts, the case is suitably yellow.
