Movies like Chill Factor: House Call (2004)

In poor and lonely farm country, a woman calls a doctor out to make a house call on her strangly-ailing son. And what the old doctor finds when he gets there isn't listed in any medical books... Originally a pilot for a proposed television series, now exists as a stand-alone short film, and as the final segment in the film "Deadtime Stories Volume 1."
