| Summary: |
The framing story consists of a group of five travelers killing time at a lonely West Virginian bus station by discussing their nightmares. The vignettes based upon these dreams involve a young woman's infatuation with a handsome swimming star whose fate is somehow tied to the pool itself; a TV anchor (W. Till Curry) with disturbing nocturnal feeding habits; a Monkey's Paw variation about a man who can wish people back to life; a scout-troop leader (Gary Brown) with a beastly secret; and a college student who comes under the spell of Ixpe (Kimberly Harbour), an Aztec demon.

short review: Anthology of five shortstories (the third one featuring a vampire) tied together by a surrounding story. But these are definitely no "chillers". Instead, they are lame, slow-paced and badly performed. More chill-out than chilling.  |
