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 d�nouement.

Worth catching but not worth writing home to mother about.

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.

I really can't voice my complaints without ruining the thing but let me just say it's a silly premise with a wuss for the hero and a completely ineffective antagonist.

Shiver is shot beautifully.The film is very effective when it comes to tension,suspense & atmosphere.This is one of those films that keeps you guessing for awhile,i had no idea of what was going on & what was the thing hidden through the bushes & running in the woods,which was attacking animals &
