Eskalofrio (2008)


"Eskalofrío", also known as “Shiver” in the US, is an entertaining movie about a high school student named Santi who is forced to move from the city to a small village in the mountains in order to have less exposure to the sun; he suffers from a server case of photophobia and had to deal with excessive bullying at school. Santi’s transition into the new school still involved bullies but it included the instant friendship of a younger boy and the interest of a girl in his class. During Santi’s second day at school, his young friend is called out as a liar when he tells the other kids that he saw a monster as he was walking the home the day before. Santi, the young boy, and an old student go into the forest with a hunting rifle to find the beast. They find something but run in different directions. The boy with the gun is killed and Santi becomes one of the main suspects by the cute girl’s father, the town’s lead detective. More murders take place and Santi is in the area each time. To clear his name, he does research on the people who had lived in his house before his mom and himself. He finds out that it was a home to a “wild” girl named Angela. He firmly believes she’s responsible and goes out to find the truth about what had happened to her.

Favorite moment – The ending wraps everything up nicely and answers all of the questions that needed to be answered.
