Largely a chore to get through, with the only bright spot of the experience being that the film knows how bizarre and campy it is. Still, there are plenty of other holiday-themed horrors that are more worth your time.

Rated: 2/5

It gives you everything you want - the corny jokes, the over-the-top kills...it is a surprisingly competent movie for what it is.

Rated: 4/5

At times a bad horror and at others a bad TV movie, Jack Frost is terrible from start to finish – so much so it’s… good.

Tyler Doupe

Dread Central

The characters are two-dimensional, the dialogue is uninspired, and the production values are low. But most of that is forgivable when considering one doesnt watch a film about a mutant, killer snowman expecting high art.

Rated: 2.8/5

Film Disclosure

A movie to be taken with a pinch of salt, Jack Frost is bargain basement genre fodder at its cheesiest and most appealing.

Rated: 2/5

Gone With The Twins

Most notable for an eroticized rape scene - with actress Shannon Elizabeth in the tub, a migrating carrot nose, and a lascivious snowman.

Rated: 4/10

This really was not a good film although it was entertaining. A big silly looking snowman goes on a killing spree long before Asylum and Jagged Edge were making this kind of rubbish for no money. This was quite violent but not violent enough by a long way. It was also a bit slow getting anywhere and we could have done with seeing the snowman making more witty one-liners earlier on. After all, the snowman was the star and we didn't see him nearly enough. No nudity either which disappointed me as it would have fitted well with this genre film. Overall it is enjoyable but definitely not good. Watch for some tackiness.

This movie was more of a comedy than a horror movie. The voice of jack frost is hilarious.

Do not waste your time with this movie. Even as cheap bad movies go, this is cheap and bad. It's not good enough to taken seriously, and it's not bad enough to be considered entertaining in any way. This is probably one of the worst Christmas horror movies I've ever seen. It's not scary enough to be considered horror and it's not funny enough to be considered a comedy. This is not a fun experience, do not waste your time.

Knowingly terrible, camp, with deliberately cheap looking special effects and an utterly ridiculous plot. However, it's all still enjoyably silly and a nicely dark humoured, murderous antidote to all the yuletide schmaltz.
