WHAT IT IS ABOUT:
Jack Frost is this viscious serial killer that has killed over 38 people in a half dozen states. During a blizzard the “Prisoner Execution Transfer Vehicle” crashes into a big rig that is carrying hundreds of gallons of this experimental chemical that transforms Jack into an abominable snowman intent on killing the sherrif that caught him and put him on death row.

CEPHAS’ NOTES and SPOILERS:
Are you looking for a great scare?? Then don’t bother with this film. Are you looking for a great laugh??? Then please rent this film. This is a horror film that fails in all aspects. I rented this expecting it to fail and expecting a good laugh. I got what I wanted. Afetr exchanging gifts with a few friends, we settled down to watch this film. The opening credits are not bad. I give it that much and when you watch the end credits it has beter one liners than the film itself. (Ps: count all the “idiots” in the end credits.) The snowman was funny because it looks like a demented muppet on acid that escaped from Henson Studios. As far as I am concerned this is one of the worst films of ‘97 and deserves a Turkey Award or at least a nomination.

CEPHAS’ RATING:
RENT THIS FILM BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE REALLY DESPERATE for a laugh. Nothing works well in this film except the end credits. And the way they ended it you know they will make a sequel and try to push sequels like that dreaded LEPRECHAUN series that keep s coming out. The first one was alright but the rest can kiss my Blarney Stone. And as far as I’m concerned on this film, JACK FROST can kiss my Snow Balls.
