Chillers - 1987

 An anthology! For blog entry 1000!

Chillers has a group at a bus station waiting and a woman falls asleep to reveal segment one, a bizarre pool based story of a woman meeting a sexy swim instructor who then she is told died 5 years ago. 

She awakens screaming to discover everyone there had nightmares. A boy tells his story, segment 2 where a group of Boy Scouts gets led into the woods to discover not all is what it seems. 

“Who’s next?” The boy asks. Segment three is told by a woman, Sharon. Sharon is in love with her television newsman and hears a telepathic message from him. She calls, he comes. Is he what she’s expecting, though?

The stories keep getting told. Now it’s the turn for a lonely and emotionally empathic story of a guy who wishes a 9 year old boy who died was returned to life. The boy appears in front of him and he returns the boy to his parents. He brings back a few more people, but he’s not very choosy about who he’s bringing back. 

Lastly a bookish teacher is leading a Olmec class. His students take the words they’ve learned and go recite them at night, causing ancient gods or something to inhabit their bodies. 

A little segment at the end that tired it together and we’re out.

This is a very fun fast paced cheap Troma release that has good music and fun effects when they’re briefly in it. This is a great one, and I rewatched Evil Clutch as well, which is a great movie also. I give this 4 stars.
