Based on true events, "Shiver" is the terrifying account of a group of New Year's Eve partiers who found themselves in need of help after getting into a car accident. The friends become stranded in a Minnesota snowstorm, a bad situation which becomes worse when they happen upon the home of a widowed doctor obsessed with torture as a scientific study.
In the Dimension Films press release announcing the acquisition, Bob Weinstein said, "’Shiver’ is a perfect match for Dimension and we could not be more excited to collaborate with Michael Cuesta on bringing this terrifying script to life.”
Director/producer Cuesta added, "What I like about 'Shiver' and the horror genre is that when it's done honestly, with serious intent, it can tap into the social fears and anxieties of our time. I find that exploring the grotesque, the abhorrent, and what disturbs us, is a chance to convey some universal truths about us and our society."
