‘A nerve-wracking chiller’ – Billy Chainsaw, Bizarre
‘Atmospheric, creepy, a great horror film’ – Bloody-Disgusting.com
From the producer of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage comes Shiver, the latest chilling horror from Spain.
Written and directed by Isidro Ortiz (Fausto 5.0) and starring Julio Valverde (The Devil’s Backbone), this nerve-jangling chiller premiere’s on DVD on 17 October 2011 from Second Sight Films.
Santi (Valverde) is a teenage outcast who suffers from photophobia, a severe aversion to sunlight that disfigures the skin immediately on contact with the sun. He and his single mother are forced to move away from the city to a shaded, remote village in the Spanish mountains, where they take up residence in an old farmhouse. But soon after their arrival strange things start happening; animals and then people are found brutally murdered and suspicion soon falls on the newcomer. But in the darkness of the forest something is hiding. And now it’s coming for Santi…
Shiver is a tense, evocative Spanish horror that will chill you to the bone.
