September 2, 2008 With the '6 Films to Keep You Awake' box set and 'Rec' to remind us that Spain still has the stuff when it comes to horror, along comes this new release due to hit U.S. DVD shelves this year.

From producer Alvaro Augustin of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage fame, Shiver tells the creepy tale of Santi, a lonely teenager who suffers from photophobia. Santi has excessive sensitivity to light, so he is forced to move with his Mother to a far-off village in the mountains to avoid sunlight. Soon after they arrive, locals and livestock start turning up butchered and Santi becomes the main suspect. The only way to prove his innocence to the town will be to unearth the terrible secret that’s hidden deep in the woods.

A new trailer for the film has been unveiled at www.ShiverTheFilm.com. Shiver will be available on DVD for the first time in Spanish with English subtitles in addition to an English language track option. Additionally, Shiver will playing all across North America at special fan screenings throughout September and October, before it’s released on DVD on October 28th. Stay tuned for more info!
