chiller start on a cold and dark stormy night a a bus drop off three passenger outside a bus station and a young boy name mason ( jesse emery ) and a college professor dr. howard conrow ( david wohl ) and a woman name sharon phillips ( laurie pennington ) . inside they discover that they have miss their connecting bus and be strand for the night . in the wait area they find two other people and ronnie ( jim wolf ) and a sleep woman name lindsay ( marjorie fitzsimmons ) who be currently have a terrifying nightmare . while swim in an indoor pool lindsay encounter and befriends guy name billy water ( jesse johnson ) and the next time lindsay see billy he dive into the pool and then seemingly disappear into thin air before he surface . shortly after lindsay discovers that billy water die in a diving accident 5 year ago . lindsay wake up and tell the others about her nightmare and everyone else respond by say that they too have suffer disturbing dream recently and decide to share them to pass the time . next up be mason who tell a story of how he and two friend and scott ( david r. hamm ) and jimmy ( will tuckwiller ) and be terrorise during a camping trip . then it sharon whose story revolve around a newsman name tom williams ( thom delventhal ) who she phone up and in no time at all tom be at her front door but he actually turn out to be a vampire . it ronnie turn next and he describe how he discover that he can bring the dead back to life and unfortunately he bring executed mass murderer nelson caulder ( bradford boll ) back to homicidal life . finally dr. conrow tell a tale of how two of his student bring an ancient aztec war god name ixpe ( kimberly harbour ) back to life . then it back to the bus station for one last ( predictable ) twist . write and produce and direct by daniel boyd chiller be one of the bad horror anthology i have ever see and i usually really like this sub genre . the script by boyd lack what be need for film such a chiller to work and you can see the final twist come a mile off and each story be really lame . the first one be totally pointless and do not seem to have an end and the best thing about these anthology be the short snappy story that be round off with a neat twist . the second story be predictable and and again and just end without any payoff . so it continue throughout chiller that each story be deeply unsatisfying to watch and have no reward for do so . the character and dialogue be poorly write and the story seem to have no original idea of their own and a a whole the film totally suck . at least each story doesn not last long and i like the idea behind the link segment . director boyd be obviously work with a very low budget and it show . all i can say be if you want to watch a 15 odd minute short story set entirely within a swim pool then chiller be for you . the story be neither clever and scary or have any sort of tension or build up to anything . have say that it do have a few nice scene and some surprising competence shine through on occasion . violence and gore wise there isn not much happen in chiller and a rip out heart and a decapitated head and a bitten off hand be as gory a it get . technically chiller be poor stuff that would not impress anyone . basic cinematography and bad music and cheap special effect and below average production value . chiller also feature one of the bad closing theme song ever and period . the acting be also of a very low standard . i be sure a lot of effort be put into chiller a a low budget film and at least the filmmaker try so i will give credit for that at least and but that still doesn not stop me from think it crap . similar anthology film like tale from the crypt ( 1972 ) and asylum ( 1972 ) and the vault of horror ( 1973 ) and dr. terror house of horror ( 1965 ) and creepshow ( 1982 ) and tale from the darkside represent the movie ( 1990 ) be far superior to chiller so watch one of those instead .
