![]() But a freak accident with a truckload of genetic material in the middle of a snowstorm mutates Jack into a killer snowman. After five years of terror and 38 bodies in five states, serial killer Jack is on his way to execution. He's got ice in his veins and he's giving cold-blooded a whole new meaning. With the murderous Jack Frost back on shelves after the holiday season, it seems that Hell has indeed frozen over!Īudio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 English: LPCM 2.0 You can’t be this ludicrous and remain unknown for too long and, seeing as how it had its own direct-to-video sequel three years after it debuted (which is also being handled on blu-ray by MVD Rewind), there is quite the demand for its resurrection over the years. That however, hasn’t stopped the movie from amassing a fairly sizable cult following. It’s quite silly, in fact, which tends to turn some gorehounds off from fully embracing it. The script, while sounding pretty vicious, is all bark. He murders the local bully, attacks and has his way with the bully’s sister ( Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie fame) while she’s in the shower, and torments everyone else in his way. ![]() Frost is on a path of war and his intentions are cold to the touch. Stopping him is going to take the entire town because, on this snowy night, Hell itself can’t melt this beast. Quick to revisit the town responsible for his capture and, hopefully, kill Sheriff Sam Tiler ( Christopher Allport), Jack Frost hoppity hop hops his way to Snowmontown. Screaming all the way down to the ground, his particles mix with the freshly fallen snow and – Ta Da! – he is suddenly transformed into a carrot-nosed, scarf-wearing snowman. The two goofs behind the wheel of the prisoner transport wind up crashing into a genetics truck and, as Frost makes his escape from the wreckage, he is hilariously melted into a warm puddle of goo by some slimy ooze spraying out from the back of the overturned truck. From the very beginning – in which we see two drivers sharing the same window on a snowbound night as they drive the notorious Jack Frost ( Scott MacDonald), a death row inmate, to his place of execution – we know that nothing about Cooney’s movie needs to be taken seriously and it wallows in that fact ceaselessly. ![]() This was obviously made by people who love what they are doing. Honestly, you can feel that joy radiating out from the screen. Written and directed by Michael Cooney and featuring the talents of Eileen Seeley and Rob LaBelle, this low budget horror-comedy was indeed a labor of love for all parties involved. ![]() He’s also pretty damn funny, wise cracking himself through one kill after the next. He’s unyielding in his attacks and, as he can blow himself through cracks in doors in a spray of white powdery snow, seemingly unstoppable. I highly recommend you crack open the eggnog, pour the rum and bourbon freely, and kick back while watching the on-screen slaughter of this pissed off snowman. "With more schlock than shock, this earnest slasher is truly a gift to manunkind" ![]()
