~Spoilers~
Jack Sunseri, one of the driving forces behind Brett Leonard's 1989 zombie opus Dead Pit, decides to make his own 1989 zombie opus...and fails. The Chilling is high on concept, low on budget. It's a shame too because the plot is ripe for fun. On Halloween night during a particular nasty storm, a cryogenics lab is struck by lightning and all of the Popsicle "corpses" are transformed into Reynold's wrap-wearing, flesh-eating C.H.U.D.s that can only be stopped by Grizzly Adams. That's right, before fighting Nazi Elves, Dan Haggerty had it out with the undead (or cryonoids as they're sometimes called). Linda Blair is also running about in this farce. And by running around, I mean running around. That's all she is given to do; a shame really. I really do think that there was the potential for a good B movie here, but there's no talent behind the concept to pull it off.
