Shaky Shivers

It’s perfect for those nights when the air gets chilly, the moon hangs low, and there might just be a maybe-werewolf hanging around the California desert.

Shaky Shivers is goofy, silly, zany, and impossible to resist. In fact, what’s most charming about the film is just how confident Kang is in the material – enough to pop up in a hilariously unflattering cameo that truly has to be seen to be believed.

Unable to fully commit to being either a full-on parody or grounded in reality, Shaky Shivers delivers no real payoff, despite the chemistry of its cast.

This cheap two-hander barrels through its bad jokes and horror tropes like it knows it won’t survive the night.

It plays the monsters and magic of its story for fun and while it’s humorous and a send-up of 1980s movies, it still feels current in a way.

Kung has a tiny budget to bring “Shaky Shivers” to life, and the effort is aided by his leads, Markham and Nguyen, who deliver big charm and appealing enthusiasm for the material, which definitely needs their spirit.

If you meet it halfway, Sung Kang’s film works thanks to the performances by its cast...

Shaky Shivers is a horror-comedy that’s neither scary nor funny. The movie only runs 78 minutes minus end credits, yet it feels like hours.

Shaky Shivers starts oddball and spirals further down in a boisterous, ridiculous, wonderful film held together by an unbreakable friendship.

Sweet, sour, and sprawling with monsters&#59; Shaky Shivers is a teenage horror delight.
