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?

This film could actually have been quite decent judging by the idea behind it, but instead we're given a plot that doesn't really have a lot to it and it has to be said that Craven doesn't make the best out of the potential of the film. The 'soul' is the main focal point, but it would seem that not having a soul and simply having a murderous intent/no compassion are the same thing, which feels a bit unimaginative. The film was made for television so it's not particularly nasty and it's obvious that not a lot of money was spent on it as the whole production feels very cheap. Michael Beck never became a very popular actor and that isn't surprising judging by his performance here; while he is passable, he largely lacks charisma and is not formidable in the central role. The plot doesn't flow too badly but there's a real lack of suspense and/or tension and things slow down too much too often, which results in the film being rather boring on occasion. It all boils down to a predictable ending also. Overall, I have to admit that I was not impressed at all by this film and as far as Craven's filmography goes, Chiller would have to go down with Shocker, the Scream sequels and The Hills Have Eyes II as a miss.
