Chiller

About This Movie

So, Chiller (1985) is this offbeat TV movie that leans heavily into the horror and sci-fi realms. The plot revolves around a wealthy industrialist who opts for cryogenic preservation, but things go sideways when he wakes up as something less than human—think soulless, hungry for destruction. The atmosphere is really eerie; you can feel the coldness and dread seeping through the screen. It’s got practical effects that are pretty interesting for its time, though they might not hold up for everyone. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the unsettling vibe. Performances range from mediocre to decent, but they fit the overall tone of this strange little flick. There’s a unique charm in its execution that makes it stand out in the TV horror landscape.
