A lonely teenager moves to a far-off village, where she becomes the suspect of murder.

Shiver

By Ed Grant -- Video Business, 10/13/2008

DARK SKY/MPI

Street: Oct. 28
Prebook: now
> Fright gives way to familiar plotting in this uneven Spanish horror movie.

A killer is loose in the woods around a small town in this half-terrific creepfest from the producer of Pan’s Labyrinth. Frankie Muniz-lookalike Junio Valverde plays a boy whose inability to tolerate light causes his mother (Mar Sodupe) to move to a village that is preyed upon by an unseen menace. But once the menace is revealed, the film unfortunately descends from being an evocative horror picture to a lopsided fusion of The Hardy Boys and The Blair Witch Project.

Shelf Talk: Though far too scary for younger viewers, Shiver is ideal for teen fright fans looking for something different. The film will be fresh in gorehounds’ minds thanks to September theater bookings in Dallas, New York and Los Angeles.

Foreign-language horror, color, NR (mature themes, violence), 94 min., DVD $24.98, in Spanish with English subtitles
Extras: none
Director: Isidro Ortiz
First Run: L, Sept. 2008, <$1 mil.
