Jack Frost

Don't confuse this flick with the 1998 Michael Keaton film of the same name. This particular Jack Frost movie IS NOT for children, but it sure is hilarious.

One of my favorite scenes is where Jack Frost requests a smoke from a guy, then kills the guy with an axe, and says: "Gosh. I only axed you for a smoke." That line never fails to crack me up.

If you're looking for a good B-movie to watch, this is a good choice. But remember, to use Jack Frost's own words, it ain't f**king Frosty!

Well what can I say, there are B-Grade Movies and there are B-Grade Movies and this definitely falls into the latter. However since it's obvious that even the makers of the film know that it's not a credible movie (take a look at the closing credits) it can be forgiven.

The plot is basically a convicted psycho killer is killed. He accidentally has his genetic material mixed up with some experimental acid that get combined and then lost in the snow. The killer now takes on the form of a snowman - if you can believe that. The snowman, Jack Frost, is after the country town Sherif who put him behind bars. In doing so, Jack Frost ends up killing half the town.

This movie lacks any real scares and the effects alone remind me of the B-Grade movies of the 50's. This alone makes it worth watching for a laugh. A movie to pass the time away.

Not to be mixed up with the family film of the same name (though that would be friggin' hilarious), this earlier "Jack Frost" is actually a goofy offbeat B-movie parody. Everything is present to give you a fantastic evening filled with pointing and laughing. The plot is insanely moronic, so moronic that it needs a buttload of deus ex machina just to get on the rails. The acting is also terrible, and I'm not sure whether the actors are doing it on purpose on not. Scott Macdonald's over-acting is clearly intentional, but all the other actors probably can't do any better than this. You know you're doing something wrong when Shannon Elizabeth (who, granted, looks totally hot in this one) is among your best performers. The greatest source of entertainment are the one-liners though. Many filmmakers believe in the age-old "quality over quantity"-idea, but Michael Cooney wants none of that and just has Jack Frost firing wisecracks with every chance he gets. Some of these are funny ("I only axed you for a cigarette!"), some fall flat (pretty much all the other ones), but it gives the Jack Frost character sort of a Freddie Krueger-like quality that is really fitting here. "Jack Frost" is an awful movie, but somehow I just can't grade it accordingly.

You know you're in for a special movie when it starts with an adult(possibly a man) voicing a little girl that we never even see. This movie has lots of moments that don't make any sense but what do you expect from a movie about a killer snowman? The sheriff has the same floor tile in his bathroom as I do, lol.

Surprisingly good. The acting was fun, the screenplay was fun, the music was cheesie fun, the plot was stupendously fun. This was a fun movie to watch and to give your brain some rest. Parts of the plot and quotes I found to be very creative. 7 out of 10. Actually for what it was, it would deserve a 10 out of 10. You are not supposed to compare this to an arthouse film or to a bloody slasher film.
