Default SHAM044: The Washing Machine - Artwork & Specs

Hi everyone,

Shaping up to be one of the greatest releases from Shameless Screen Entertainment, it's time to announce the eagerly awaited artwork for Ruggero Deodato's The Washing Machine....

SHAM044: The Washing Machine

With Bloody Pre-Wash, Deadly Spin and Special Sleaze Functions,
dare to plumb-in the mortal vortex that is the Deodato-branded
WASHING MACHINE!



Shameless proudly presents the definitive version of RUGGERO DEODATO’S WASHING MACHINE aka VORTICE MORALE

With his epoch-making CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, director Ruggero Deodato single-handedly invented the found-footage film genre (later imitated by Blair Witch et al). With THE WASHING MACHINE, Deodato reboots the Giallo genre stretching its boundaries into this utterly extreme, surreal, erotic thriller. Originally called MORTAL VORTEX, this long-lost Giallo is now revived in this Exclusive Shameless Limited Edition.

By the time Police Inspector Stacev arrived at the eerie Budapest flat of three beguiling sisters, to investigate one of the girls' claim to have found a butchered body in their washing machine, the corpse had disappeared. Piqued as much by the potential foul play as by the mischievous saucy sisters, our detective becomes entangled in their web of sexual obsession and deadly treachery: Each sister spins a different versions of events - including warped stories of cannibalism (what else!) - whilst seducing the non-too-reluctant officer! Deodato cycles through truly inventive, stylish and very hot sex scenes... until an arresting climax! Will it all come out in the wash?

The Special Artwork

Presented in a yellow metal box with a transparent window at the front, the incredible packaging for The Washing Machine is simply unmissable!

The design of the box has been created by the great British Film Poster Artist, Graham Humphreys. Ruggero Deodato himself saw a mock up few weeks ago and he was amazed!

It's a unique packaging, coupled with the fact that the film is not officially available anywhere else in the world, making this gruesome giallo from cinema's most twisted director an irresistible must-have!

So what do you think? Let us know your thoughts below...

About time a film got released with a Fantastic cover and not some tone down rubbish. feel that a lof of artwork nowadays in most films are terrible that its understandable why people keep hold of their old vhs tapes of old films for the artwork that used to be fantastic in them days.

Big thumbs up

The Washing Machine will be available to pre-order directly from Shameless' website in a few weeks time, guys. If you head to the site in the meantime, you'll be able to watch a Deodato interview for free!

If it ain't Shameless it ain't Deodato!
