Shaky Shivers (2022)
9/10
Fun, original, and well done
22 September 2023
This is more of a comedy than a horror show. When it come's to horror, it's more of the campy/silly/zany type. At it's heart, it's about friendship - especially of Lucy and Karen. I liked the morality aspects of the movie too. The plot was original and it's so nice to see that in a movie.

All the acting was good, especially for the main characters. It was also great that one of the main characters was named "Karen" and was a nice person. My name isn't Karen, but I know some people with that name, and think the way the name (or any name) has been co-opted to mean something terrible is ridiculous and needs to stop.

It had solid laughs throughout. I don't like gore (but do like suspense), and I only had to shield my eyes from the screen a couple of times. I especially liked the way they handled the "eye injury," and had no problem seeing that. The special effects caused some laughs - in a good way.

I loved the ice cream shop setting. I worked in a ma-and-pa ice cream shop in the 80's and thought they nailed the set/feeling with that one (how it looked and what went on inside it). I loved the spell book and all the humor that went along with it.

I saw this in the theater and didn't know there would be information about the show ahead of time. Wish I'd arrived earlier!

I wish this played in the theater longer. Look forward to streaming it. Would tell anyone to watch!
