"CANNES, France , May 17, 2013 – Image Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment (NASDAQ: RLJE) brand, has acquired all U.S. rights to the Cyclone Productions, Inc./Robert Weinbach production thriller, Shiver. Directed by UK based, multi-film festival award-winner Julian Richards, UK’s multi film fest award winner, the film is based on the novel by New York Times best selling Author Brian Harper (a.k.a.

“The horror/genre community has created a lot of positive word of mouth online about this highly anticipated film,” said Bromiley. “Their support will push this title to its success, and we’re thrilled to add this film to our slate.”
Shiver follows the ordeal of Wendy Alden, a young secretary lacking in self-esteem who becomes the target of a savage killer but, somehow finds resources of courage to fight back and escape. Obsessed with killing Wendy, Franklin Rood, penetrates a police cordon to guard her. Again, she escapes, earning Rood's twisted sense of love. He later kidnaps and brings her to his hideout where he subjects her to a horrific ritual of psychological intimidation. During the final climax, Wendy confronts the monster of her living nightmare, transforming to a lioness of great courage and determination.
Written and Produced by Robert Weinbach, Executive Produced by Brad Harris and Co-Produced by AJ Gordon, the film was shot on location in Portland, Oregon pursuant to the Oregon Film Incentive Program.
