The movie opens with quite possibly the most annoying voice over ever put to film. The film should have skipped this opening sequence where they basically explain everything about his backstory. We then get to see Jack Frost...yes, that is his actual name, being transported to his execution in a blizzard. Yet there is no snow on the road, hmmm....The two trucks ding each other due to budget reasons and we are given a few camera twirls to experience this "crash". The second vehicle was carrying some sort of genetic altering acid, which explodes onto Jack and his death is kind of cartoony. Actually, it's literally cartoony.
The film leans heavily towards comedy and less on the horror side. No big deal. When horror comedy is done right, it's a perfect mix, when done wrong...it's...well....you know, this.
Shannon Elizabeth, her brother just died in the film and she wants to break into the Sheriff's house to have sex. She then goes to blow-dry her already dry hair, then decides to go have a bath. Wha? The next sequence is the most famous part of the film, the snowman rapes her for comedic effect. Her arms are stuck inside the snowman, yet we see her arm waving around outside the window....wha??? Then he throws out a quip "Christmas came early this year" and we're off.
I wish the film played up more deaths of the townsfolk. The deaths themselves were disappointing. Nothing too creative, funny or gory.
I couldn't help but laugh at one blink and you'll mist it part where the house blows up, the snowman is reanimated yet some guy is just walking by not caring because he wants to roast some marshmallows.
The writer and director of this also wrote....IDENTITY. Which his a really good flick starring John Cusack and Ray Liotta. I suggest everyone check that film out.
This movie is terrible, which is why it's a perfect choice for this HoF. I guess me and pahaK have completely different tastes because this movie scores high in my books, just for this HoF though.
