Shiver
Stars: Junio Valverde, Francesc Orella, Mar Sodupe, Jimmy Barnatán | Written by Hernán Migoya, Alejandro Hernández | Directed by Isidro Ortiz
Moving to an isolated village to try and get away from the sun would probably be a hard thing for a teenage boy, but when people start dying around you and the villagers look to you as the culprit just not going to be a good day. The truth of the murders of course has nothing to do with you but it’s easy to blame the outsider right?
Santi is a boy with issues; the main one is that sunlight is deadly to him. The more he is exposed to it the more danger is in as it will ultimately lead to problems such as being extremely burnt and ultimately cancer. His mother is advised to move the boy to an isolated village where there is more shade and...

Rating: 6.5 out of 10
While not a bad little film, Shiver suffered from some sputtering about a quarter of the way in. The sputtering came from a complete change in story direction, away from the spectacular beginning of the boy Santi, who suffers from a photosensitivity disease, running through the city as the dawn chases him. This was great, and it seems the storyline directions were endless, but that it would probably end up being something vampire-like as a visit to the doctors shows his disease progressing, and his canines growing.

Golly, it’s been well over a year since we first introduced that awesome trailer for Hernán Migoya’s ¡Soy Un Pelele! You know the one I am talking about, the one with the woman’s beach volleyball team in all their… ahem… natural glory. Need a reminder? Sure you do, head on over to the film’s site, but be warned, it is definitely not work safe. Capiche? The movie itself is about a man who loses his memory and forgets he is gay!
Fast forward more than a year and the filmmaker himself let us know today that there is a clip from the film posted over on YouTube. Brightcove has been a bit of a bitch recently so we’re just going to embed the clip after the break. The clip itself is the theme song, sung by comic Spanish duo Los Hermanos Calatrava.
