Chill Factor: House Call Trailers

In poor and lonely farm country, a woman calls a doctor out to make a house call on her strangly-ailing son. And what the old doctor finds when he gets there isn't listed in any medical books... Originally a pilot for a proposed television series, now exists as a stand-alone short film, and as the final segment in the film "Deadtime Stories Volume 1."

Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
aquariusmoondancer This film was beautifully done! Every frame of this film could be an Old Masters painting! I loved the story, the three actors, and the whole feel of this film. I look forward to more of the Chill Factor series.Everyone seems to have really put their heart and souls into this piece. The extras on the making of House Call were very informative. I enjoyed watching all of the cast and crew working and figuring out scenes. It was nice to see how the special effects were done and the setups. Tom Savini has really found his Holy Grail with this series idea. I hope to see many more in the series. Bravo Mr.Savini!!!
frankcastlejr I ordered this DVD on faith. Savini has seriously let me down in recent years (Vicious and his cameo in the remake of DOTD to name a few things) ... but good news to all you horror/Savini fans out there... SAVINI IS BACK!!!The concept of "Chill Factor" was fascinating to me, an unrated anthology series with no one to answer to besides the gore-lord Tom Savini. I forgave his previously mentioned sins, and decided to buy the DVD."House Call," the first episode, appears to herald something special. Good acting (atleast from the older actor), a very clever story, and good production value. The DVD special features are interesting and help add to the value of the DVD.Overall... I'll give this 8 stars out of 10.I'm crossing my fingers the quality of the series continues.
