Critic Reviews

  • Anton Bitel, Little White Lies

    a well-made coming-of-age thriller that, for at least its first half, will have viewers suitably mystified and unnerved - even if they are somewhat less wild about the dénouement.

  • Lucius Gore, ESplatter

    Worth catching but not worth writing home to mother about.

  • Johnny Butane, Dread Central

    Shiver is shot beautifully, though, and director Ortiz never lets the plot slow down once it picks up speed. It's not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not anything you'll be talking about for very long afterward.

    A very decent movie with some atmospheric moments but fail at creating tension. The story is a little incoherent and you won´t guess where is going to drive you. The execution is not the best but at least will keep you entertaing.
