Jack Frost (1997)<\/p>\n

Directed by Michael Cooney<\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not the Michael Keaton movie, let\u2019s just start with that.\u00a0 Although the snowman in that one is rather terrifying.\u00a0 We are talking about the shlocky direct to video slasher with a killer snowman.\u00a0 I saw the sequel before the original and I hated it.\u00a0 I hated it so much that I said it was the worst movie I\u2019ve ever seen, that stood for a while.\u00a0 Granted I haven\u2019t watched it again to compare to the shit I\u2019ve watched since, but I\u2019m in no rush to either.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see if the original is better.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Joe Bob\u2019s Christmas special for giving me a good reason to check this out.\u00a0 The plot is a murderer named Jack Frost is dead in genetic material and returns as a murderous snowman to exact revenge on the man who sent him to be executed.\u00a0 The plot is amazing, let\u2019s just admit that haha.\u00a0 It\u2019s obvious that this is a comedy horror, I\u2019ve covered a fair share of those this year in the October marathon.\u00a0 Typically I do not enjoy horror comedies, they tend to annoy me.\u00a0 That tagline though, \u201cHe\u2019s Chillin\u2019 and Killin\u2019\u201d how could you not like that?<\/p>\n

The acting actually isn\u2019t horrible, you\u2019d be surprised.\u00a0 Yes, it is corny but that is the point in a movie about a killer snowman.\u00a0 Shannon Elizabeth makes her acting debut, of course she\u2019s naked, I mean, when isn\u2019t she?\u00a0 No, you don\u2019t see anything, but give it a little and watch American Pie.\u00a0 Scott MacDonald plays Jack, he\u2019s witty, funny and menacing at the same time.\u00a0 Nearly the entire cast is made up of veteran character actors, which is pretty cool honestly.\u00a0 They have tons of credits to their names but were finally given a chance to stand out a little.<\/p>\n

Jack Frost is a pretty fun design, he\u2019s a pretty normal looking snowman but with a very expressive face and the ability to make super sharp icicles for stabbing.\u00a0 For a low budget 90s movie the special effects are decent.\u00a0 Nothing too crazy but believable at times and other times funny.\u00a0 The kills are a little fun as well.\u00a0 Someone gets decapitated with a sled, which is hilarious.\u00a0 Jack also assaults Shannon Elizabeth with his carrot nose, yeah and her career took off after that haha.<\/p>\n

This is miles better than the sequel.\u00a0 I might have to revisit Jack Frost 2 one of these days to see if it is as bad as I remember.\u00a0 The original is fun, funny, and memorable.\u00a0 It is worth your time if you are into corny horror comedies, or if you\u2019re a big Shannon Elizabeth fan and you want to see her assaulted with a carrot.\u00a0 I give this a C, it is fun but you have to be in the mood for it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
