5/10 89min Christmas comedy about a killer snowman.
Recap
So there is Jack Frost, a convicted serial killer on the way to his execution. He escapes but is sprayed with a genetic liquid that turns him into a snowman. Now he is after the cop who arrested him and his family. An FBI agent comes to town and with him a scientist who tries to retrieve the genetic snowman for his employers.
So they made a holiday movie without James Stewart or Tim Allen. What a splendid idea. Joe Dante is a true mastermind who in 1984 gave us Gremlins, the movie that is for Christmas what Halloween and Friday The 13th are for Halloween and friday the 13th. However, some people tried this again in 1997, but without a budget or inspiration. There is no horror and no special effects in this one, and only part of the comedy actually works. So, yes, this movie is better than Jack Frost (1998), but I don’t recommend it unless you have christmas time to kill.
