I stumbled upon this 2022 horror comedy movie titled "Shaky Shivers" by random chance here in 2023. And never having heard about the movie, and given my fascination with the horror genre, of course I had to sit down and watch what director Sung Kang had to offer. And I have to admit that the movie's cover definitely helped to win me over.
The storyline in "Shaky Shivers", as written by Andrew McAllister and Aaron Strongoni, sort of fell short of being impressive. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was a rather bland viewing experience. I must say that I was expecting a bit more from the movie than what director Sung Kang delivered from the material written by Andrew McAllister and Aaron Strongoni.
While I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, it should be noted that the actresses and actors on the cast list did put on good enough performances to bring the movie to life on the screen and bring the characters to life as well. It was a fairly small cast ensemble though.
Visually then "Shaky Shivers" was okay. The creature design, effects and such were functional and adequate. Nothing you will be impressed by, but it certainly was adequate for a movie such as this.
It felt like this movie was aimed at a somewhat younger audience. And that is perhaps why "Shaky Shivers" fell short of properly entertaining me. And I must admit that I found the movie to be rather devoid of comedy and laughs, making it a rather dull horror comedy experience to sit through. And while I did manage to endure the entire 82 minutes that the movie ran for, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. Nor is it a movie that I will recommend horror comedy fans to rush out and get to watch.
My rating of "Shaky Shivers" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
