Vague Unrest Before Xmas

Jack Frost
(1996)


Sometimes watching horror movies is a lot like watching porn: you just want to skip to the good parts, and even then it's mostly all been done before with different players.

There's really nothing to say about this movie. Jack Frost is a murderous loon who eventually gets caught and is on his way to execution when his transport collides with a truck carrying "genetic material". Said material kills him but bonds his genetic pattern and personality with snow. Now he's a murderous snowman. Really.

Despite what the movie's promotional poster depicts, Frost's actual appearance alternated between an obvious spray painted Styrofoam & (possibly) clay sculpture, and some doofus in a obvious pair of oversize fleece oven mitts.


REALITY

I thought they were going to neutralize him with salt since they kept talking about him like he was a walking chemical cocktail. However they used antifreeze after discovering is was the secret ingredient in the sheriff's son's oatmeal surprise. Forget Frost, I'd be worried about Junior. What 12yr old doesn't know antifreeze is deadly?

And there's a sequal.

2.5/5
