Too much of everything
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Well, if one likes comedy and horror mixed with a holiday theme then this is a cute film to watch for the season. It's comical, corny but a cute film to watch - and yes it's horror so expect blood.I've seen this one before, glad I decided to watch it again... it brought a smile to my face and puts me in the mood for the upcoming Holiday Seasons ahead.Not a film that would win awards but can win hearts and smiles... that is what counts I guess. Just something about Jack Frost as a literal villain is quite funny!! 8/10
Vicious serial killer Jack Frost (robustly played with eye-rolling gusto by Scott McDonald) gets transformed into a lethal and seemingly unstoppable mutant snowman who terrorizes the sleepy small town of Snomonton. It's up to earnest sheriff Sam (a solid and likable performance by Christopher Allport) to stop Frost before it's too late.Writer/director Michael Cooney wisely doesn't take the gloriously ludicrous premise seriously for a minute, does a nice job of capturing a merry and vibrant Christmas atmosphere, maintains an engaging tongue-in-cheek tone throughout, comes up with plenty of choice cheesy one-liners for Frost to quip, and pulls out the sidesplitting stops for several uproariously absurd murder set pieces. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast, with especially lively contributions from Stephen Mendel as pesky fed Agent Manners, Rob LaBelle as nerdy scientist Stone, F. William Parker as amiable hardware store owner Paul Davrow, and Marsha Clark as feisty deputy Marla. The yummy Shannon Elizabeth has a memorably sexy role as luscious teenager Jill Metzner, who in the movie's single greatest and most gut-busting scene gets simultaneously raped and killed by Frost in a bathtub (!). Dean Lent's bright cinematography provides a neat colorful look. A real kitschy hoot.
I remember be a kid like 5-years-old and seeing the front cover of this at a video store and being scared to death. The cover of this is pretty scary and makes the movie look like an full, all- out horror movie. But out can a movie about a killer snowman really be that bad? Truth is, the front cover is misleading: the snowman looks like just a regular snowman that was made with a subpar budget. It is evident that this is low-budget, but there are so many funny and cheesy moments.Jack Frost is a serial killer who is being taken to the death penalty and crashes into a car with a new experimental liquid that makes him become of snowman. That cliché has been done so many times, so who cares? After he becomes the snowman, he opens up giant cans of whop-ass on everyone he comes in contact with. They are all corny and creative and he comes up with hilarious puns along the way. Like there one part where he kills a guy with an ax and says "I only 'axed' you for a smoke." There's another scene where he kills Shannon Elizabeth (in her debut) in a way where you can see how the robotics are being done. No big deal.This movie is awesome and hilarious! Ignore the Michael Keaton movie called Jack Frost.
And that she had any career whatsoever afterwards. lol. This pile of excrement is so awful I would give it a zero if I could. It looks like a group of 14 year old boys made this. If it was meant to be low budget to make it funny, it wasn't. It wasn't funny. It was just really bad. I'm sure Shannon Elizabeth wish she could forget this was ever on her resume. This should be shown in film schools as in the way not to make films. The snow man looked so ridiculously stupid as did the entire movie and too dumb to be funny either. I really am shocked anyone invested their money into the making of this stinker. The effects were so fake and ridiculous but so poorly done. It is deserving of a zero rating.
