TOM SAVINI'S CHILL FACTOR: Episode 1 Housecall Overview:

Premiere Episode: House Call
Directed by Tom Savini.

Starring Bingo O'Malley (CREEPSHOW, TWO EVIL EYES)
Maryanne Nagel (WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD) and introducing Jason Hoehnen.

It's 1936, a dark and stormy night in poor and lonely farm country. A woman calls the old town doctor out to make a house call on her ailing son. The boy is suffering with a strange malady, an illness that can't really exist... or can it? Maybe the patient is just... crazy. And what of the mother? Widowed a year earlier and left alone to care for her son, has she become unhinged? There've been a number of disappearances and strange happenings in the local orchards lately. What will the old doc find when he examines the case? Tune in and find out.

This is a hard one for me to review as it is only 25 minuted long and impossible to describe at any length without giving away critical plot points. I first heard about this project a couple of years back from Savini himself at a convention he was at, I waited for it and never was able to find much info on it after that and it kind of slipped off my radar.

 When I did happen to see it for sale at Savini's booth at a recent convention,I jumped at the chance to pick it up.Basically the idea behind these short films is to do a series of them in episodes, this being the first. The episodes will all be introduced by Savini and in most he will take up either directing or acting duties....in this one he directed it.Bingo O'Malley (CREEPSHOW, TWO EVIL EYES)
