Jack Frost (1997)

Weak, even for B horror
I was very disapointed with Jack Frost. I rented it years ago when it was a new release in the video store and really enjoyed it. I even bought it but never popped it in until recently. This time around my opinion changed big time. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I originally thought it was so great. It really was awful. I am a big fan of B movies but this was just too goofy. I wasn't expecting much, but this didn't do anything for me. I think it's the best when a movie really tries to be serious but is too ridiculous to be anything but funny. But when a movie knows it's so bad they try to make it funny is a different story. As much as I'd love to love a movie about a killer snowman, I just can't. I'd pass on this if you have the chance.

Jack Frost Starring Shannon Elizabeth. Who knew this would be the high point of her career?
We, Sid the Elf, have been very excited about kicking off the Christmas B season and decided to open up with Jack Frost. Many years ago Sid saw Jack Frost when it was a new release at his local video store and really enjoyed it's straight to VHS goodness. Unfortunately it did not stand the test of time like we expected. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong? Horror B used to be the tops. Now it is hard to even sit through a full viewing. I guess Sid has just matured and really needs some sweet explosions and neck snappings to get his bull running. After viewing timeless works of art like "Total Recall", "Predator," and "Out For Justice" Jack Frost just seems obsolete.

As much as we would like to, we just can't recommend Jack Frost. It seems as if this one started the trend of horror movies that know they are so bad they have to try to make them funny, which has single handedly ruined the genre.

*Good Movie,Funny Movie*
I really liked this movie.It was just good to see something different in a movie.A killer snowman.Yes.
