2013 Horror Fest: Shiver: 40 Out Of 100 Stars

At first looking like it's gonna be a fun little sex torture movie, Shiver instead plods along for an hour as more of a procedural drama than anything else. It's not until the final act, when the two leads, played by Danielle Harris who is always awesome, and John Jarratt as the villain, that it really starts to get good, but by then it's probably too late.

Casper Van Diem and Rae Dawn Chong play the cops. Stop laughing. OK, go ahead and laugh. There's some gore and some sexy fun, but no nudity. The kills aren't real great either but that's not what this is anyway.

More of a Lifetime movie with some severed heads thrown in, if you make it far enough you'll enjoy the climax, thanks entirely to Harris and Jarratt.
