Back of the box:
When a sunlight-phobic teen (Junio Valverde) moves to a remote mountain
town -- coinciding with a series of mass killings -- everyone naturally
suspects the strange newcomer. But the forest holds a spine-tingling
secret that explains everything. Academy Award-winning production
designer Pilar Revuelta (Pan's Labyrinth) applies her artistic eye to this
atmospheric Spanish-language horror film that premiered at the Berlin Film
Festival in 2008.

The Bloody Truth:
A rich and mysterious setting is where this dark and slow burning story
finds its home.
With more than enough time for character development, tension building
and atmosphere, Shiver delivers a foreign horror gem. The story in the
film is one that continues to neatly reveal itself offering some not so
predictable new layers until the very end.
American audiences may be distracted by the subtitles or the slow pace of
events during tension and atmosphere building moments.
The Bloody Truth is, Shiver is a well made horror/mystery that falls just
short of great but should be a treat for fans of foreign horror.
