Trivia
Mimi Craven, Wes Craven's wife at the time, cameos as Nurse Cooper. She also played a nurse in Craven's most well-known film, Les Griffes de la nuit (1984).

Goofs
When Miles Creighton tells Leigh his room number as she storms off, his mouth doesn't move. The line was obviously added in later.

Quotes
Miles Creighton: You're meddling, preacher. What do you want?
Reverend Penny: To know who you are.
Miles Creighton: That's not what you want to know. You want to know what's on the other side.
Reverend Penny: All right. Yes. If you are Miles Creighton, then you really have been called back. Then yes you've seen the other side.
Miles Creighton: And you want to know what's there? I'll tell you what's on the other side. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You die and there's simply darkness.
Reverend Penny: That can't be.
Miles Creighton: No streets of gold. No harps, no halos, no angels and saints. It's all here, so you better live it up holy man. Make the most of the here and now because that's all there is.
Reverend Penny: You're lying.
Miles Creighton: Why would I lie? Tell me, why would I lie? Now you know. I don't care to ever see you again. Not at my house, not with my mother, not with any of us. Do you understand me?

Alternate versions
An NTSC video version of Chiller released in 1993 by Ace Video/Edde Entertainment, is missing some scenes, including the cryogenics plotline that appears before the opening title.

Good premise- horrible picture quality.

This 80s film has a very good concept. What if you died and were cryogenically frozen immediately after, then thawed out years later. Would you be "soul-less?" Watch the film to find out.

Some very creepy moments but it's basically a dated 80s TV movie. Why bother releasing a film to DVD if there is no desire to enhance it? To make money I know, but, it's just wrong. The picture quality is awful and that's enough to make you want to shut it off. The "film" could stand a remake with a much broader scope because of it's interesting premise. There are a dime a dozen horror films out there but I don't think this approach to terror has often surfaced. What makes the film all the more relevant is the fact that man-kind could actually come face to face with this issue for real.
