Linda Blair, plays an emplyee at cryogenic centre, where bodies are being defrosted, not long afterward they turn into zombies. The Chilling is a not a very good 80s horror, the acting is ok though, but the script is just useless.

~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.

"The Chilling" directed by Deland Nuse and Jack A.Sunseri is one of the worst zombie flicks I have ever seen.Why Linda Blair("The Exorcist","Witchery")appeared in this stinker is beyond me.The plot is really dumb:the frozen bodies at a cryogenic lab are revived after lightening strikes and turned into cannibalistic zombies.The characters are completely one-dimensional and stupid,the zombies look horrible and there is no gore.Avoid this cheap piece of trash like the plague.My rating:1 out of 10.

i have to admit something here, i watched this movie because im a big fan of linda blair,in all movies she had a big role within the story: exorcist,hell night,chained heat even that repossesed but this movie is BORING that you cant imagine thats "her".man her role are hardly recognizable.ok now lets talk about those mutants :the ppl behind this film should made their minds straight before scripting whether its a mutant movie or a zombie movie, some readers referring to them as zombies are they zombies ? NO because i didnt saw any of them walk slow and eat human flesh in any scene, ok are they mutants? NO because mutants dont look/act funny,and i saw one scene were a mutant tickling someone's back and have a quick conversation with him,according to this "horror" catagorized movie they are "crygenic corpses"who are wearing contaminated costumes and chasing or scaring linda blair and her BORING cast.what can i say guys,linda blair shouldnt be in this movie ,and its a shame her role was a waste of her time and ours too.i dont recommend this movie to linda blair fans,im sure they will be upset,i also dont recommend horror movie collectors to buy/rent this one,and to B-movie fans :you can watch it at your own decision
