JACK FROST Movie Review (1997)
As you can see this is not the Michael Keaton movie where he turns into a snowman. I am talking about everyone's favorite killer snowman of course. A Serial killer is genetically mutated in car wreck on the way to his execution. After which he becomes a murdering snowman hell-bent on revenge for the sheriff who caught him.
This movie falls into the so bad it's funny category. With tag lines like after killing a guy with an axe he say's "I only axed ya for a smoke" and who could forget the "What the hell are you?" with Jack replying "The worlds most pissed of snow cone". I was in tears laughing at this work of genius. Sometimes a movie comes along where it stops and really makes ya think well this movie isn't it so grab your bong, pack a boll and prepare to laugh your ass off.
The acting ummm seriously?
Well Shannon Elizabeth is in it.......Yes the whore from American pie, shown in the pic above doing what she does best, getting slammed hard. . I think she falls into the what the fuck happened to her category. Well besides being in that horrible Wes Craven movie Cursed.
Jack has the ability to melt and re form himself getting through small cracks air ducks and just about everything. How? Beats the fuck out of me but then again how does a serial killer get into a car accident with a chemical truck and turn into a snowman?. The one scene where he reforms into Shannon Elizabeth's bath water is beyond words. Try explaining that to a cop.
Shannon - yes officer he raped me with his carrot.
Cop - what?
Shannon - yeah he was a snowman and he raped me with his carrot nose.
Jack Frost reminds me of some of the B monster movies of the 1950's. When Jack finally starts to melt away, the sheriff wrestles with a flat snowman made out of some sort of fabric for an extended period. Something right out of an Ed wood movie Plan 9 from outer space anyone?. At this point I had to pause it i was laughing so hard. The snow does look like styrofoam and it's amazing how a Snowman that doesn't have legs managed to drive a police car around town.
Overall the amount of cheese this movie has needs too be on a pizza. It's good when a horror movie comes along and doesn't take itself seriously and try to be the next great horror movie (yes rob zombie I am looking at you). Sometimes its a good relief to just watch a funny cheesy horror movie. Hey it is what it is a B.....well maybe a C horror movie full of laughs. So if your the one who takes everything seriously then this is not for you. but if you like to laugh your ass off this cheese fest is better then any comedy.
