Nope, this isn't the cuddly, sweet Michael Keaton fantasy regarding his spirit trapped in a CGI snowman..far from that, this is the polar opposite. It concerns how a serial killer actually named, appropriate enough, Jack Frost(..whose soul resides in snow, his molecular structure changed thanks to a type of genetic acid which exploded on him shortly after a head-on collision between a prison transfer van hauling him and the truck carrying the experimental substance)targets the small town sheriff of Snomonton, Sam(Christopher Allport)and the citizens who live there or around it. Frost(..voiced by Scott MacDonald who also played him in human form at the beginning)can freeze and unfreeze at will, his molecular structure co-cohabiting in water.
The movie is positively ludicrous, and is designed that way. It's really a slasher movie with a strange sort of psychopath, and, modeled after the likes of Freddy Krueger(..or, more importantly Chucky, the killer doll), Frost drops wisecracks before, during, and after every attack and murder.
The murder sequences are totally nuts, including one victim getting an ax handle rammed down his throat, his wife being strangled by Christmas lights before her face is slammed multiple times in a box of Christmas tree ornaments(..she also becomes a "decoration" for her tree), and their son is decapitated by a sled blade. This family's daughter, Jill(..played by the incredibly sexy Shannon Elizabeth before achieving fame/notoriety in American Pie)is actually molested by Jack while bathing(..we see that his carrot nose is missing, and I'm sure you don't need me painting the picture any clearer)as he bashes her head against the wall over and over, her screaming at the top of her lungs, arms flailing hopelessly. There's also a bonkers scene where Jack "confiscates" a deputy's police car, backing over him, and driving off in it(..the shot of him in the driver's seat is quite surreal).
There are "agents" who assist Sam in attending to a very unusual and difficult situation, Manners(Stephen Mendel), the one who constantly orders and expects full cooperation without questions and back-talk, and Stone(Rob LaBelle), the actual scientist responsible for the acid which gave birth to the monster on the loose. How they intend to stop it is the main problem these people face and Jack is having a jolly old time exploiting his gift for all it's worth. The snowman costume is cheap and unconvincing, and the murder sequences are often goofy due to the budget restraints. The cast do what they can with such a wacky premise. The whole idea that the soul is a chemical and can transport itself in water, a killer functioning as a killer snowman, and moving about as he so chooses, is hard to digest, but I'm sure many will get a kick out of this. I imagine others will provide "Jack Frost" with the excuse.."it's so cheesy and funny". This is the purest form of schlock, and should bode well with the forgiving crowd who like bad movies.
