Jack Frost (1997)

This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is a very scary movie. 4.6 is a good ratting. But still this is such a great movie that 4.6 is underrating it. This is on of the best horror movies ever. I give it 10 out of 10. This is a great movie. See it. It is one of the best horror movies of all time. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. It is a very scary movie. It is not easy to be scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. It is scarier then Halloween and is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do.

Jack Frost is one of those horror movies that might seem like it was horribly directed and horribly made, but you start to realize that the movie is intentionally hilarious. The movie is full of horror movie tropes, but it is clever enough to actually make the tropes hilarious and amazing.The movie opens with hilarious dialogue of an uncle telling her niece a story about a murderer on Christmas Eve... it is quite obvious the niece doesn't want to listen and that the uncle is a bit bloodthirsty. This opening scene is irrelevant to the plot but it puts the viewer's mind in the right view: This movie will use clichés and then make them hilarious.The plot is about a mass murderer who accidentally gets sprayed with genetic altering material which binds his soul to Snow/water. The mass murderer does what you would expect a mass murderer to do... he goes on a rampage and kills people in some hilariously funny ways. For one example, someone hears the voice of the snowman and thinks the murderer has come back so the man runs outside with an axe (but is unaware that the snowman in front of him is the mass murderer. What does Jack Frost do? Grab the axe and kill the man? Yes, but he SHOVES THE HANDLE OF THE axe DOWN THE MAN'S THROAT AT A PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE. The axe head sticks out of the man's throat perpendicular to his head, yet the handle isn't sticking out of the back of his head, so that means the axe must've been bent into a 90 degree angle and then carefully rammed down his throat. What makes this even funnier is that later in the movie people actually comment on it and are equally confused.The movie is full of moments where you think you know where it is going, but then it takes a really funny twist. In one tense moment we there is a teenager in a house who could literally die in about 10 different ways when you look at his surroundings. You are constantly wondering "Okay, which object is going to kill him" and then... something entirely different kills him while heavy metal music is playing.While this movie is completely stupid, it is a movie that is having a great time with being stupid. The movie has some horrible cuts and camera angles, yet the way the movie emphasizes on these cuts makes it rather obvious that the movie intentionally trying to make lame cuts and overly dramatic camera angles that are embarrassingSome movies are so bad that they are good; however, some movies are cleverly bad and actually work. Jack Frost is still a bad movie, but it is entertaining and the solution on how to kill Jack Frost was brilliant. Throughout the movie there is an object that seems to remain in the plot, so it is obvious that it will be important, but we don't know why it will be important. Once this object plays its role, it is hilarious because it does so in a way you would've never expected.

This movie is what it is, a really stupid Christmas themed or at least winter themed horror movie. There is a lot of comedy in the movie to try to mask the fact that it is just not a good horror movie but it doesn't really work. What you end up with is what you get on the screen, a bad horror movie.The basic story is about a serial killing maniac who is on his way to be executed but there is a horrible car crash and he ends up getting mutated in the snow, then becomes a mutant snow man creature who starts killing people.Do I really need to say more? There are a bunch of cheesy death scenes, a girl in a shower, the stupid running away and hiding moments. It's the same as any low budget slasher movie except the killer in this case is a snowman and you get all the requisite snow man jokes and puns.Really bad movie that should have at least been funny, but it's just stupid.

A serial killer (Scott MacDonald) dies, comes back as a snowman, and wreaks havoc.This is one of the stranger Christmas horror films, and has a cheesy sense of humor. The snowman costume seems like the same costume that Full Moon would later use for Gingerdead Man. Although, out of respect, I should note the production quality here is better than what Full Moon does.I suppose today this film may hold the dubious honor of being the first role of Shannon Elizabeth (as Jill Metzner). So, if you want to see her before "American Pie", I guess this is the film for you.
