Dimension Films has picked up a script by first time writer Mikey Wigart, and has chosen Michael Cuesta to man the director's chair for the 2007 horror release - Shiver. Inspired by true events, Shiver is about a group of New Year's Eve revelers who get in a car crash and are stranded in a Minnesota snowstorm when they stumble upon a nearby home, whose occupant happens to be a widowed doctor obsessed with torture as a scientific study.
Bob Weinstein - "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."
Michael Cuesta - "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."
Zombies had the audience-demand of starring roles in horror the past few years. Seems that torture is the "in" thing these days. Look at the success and appeal of films like Hostel, Neighborhood Watch, or the buzzed about Hills Have Eyes remake. Stay here with HoH to get the latest on this film as it develops.
