Jack Frost 2 is a sequel to a little
known movie named Jack Frost from A-Pix Entertainment. This isn't
a sequel to the Michael Keaton flick about a Dad who dies and
gets reincarnated as a snowman-it's a sequel to the cheesy horror
flick about an escaped convict who somehow becomes a killer snowman.
Jack Frost 2 involves several of the main characters from the
original film on vacation at a beach resort, as well as some
crazy sidekicks such as Sean Patrick Murphy as Captain Fun. Somehow,
Jack Frost still manages to come back and now has new heat-resistant
features! Surprisingly, I enjoyed Jack Frost 2 better than the
original-although when I saw the original, I wasn't exposed to
as much cheesy horror movies as I am now. The budget was very
low for this movie, possibly lower than the original. As a result,
many of the special effects are awful, as is all of the CG work.
The humor is very similar to what was found in the first one-really
cheesy with lots of puns. Jack Frost 2 had many disappointing
deaths and, like the original, had a chance where nudity could
have been shown, but nothing was shown. I was surprised Jack
Frost 2 received an R rating. Yeah, there's some blood, but many
of the deaths are off-screen. Also the language seems toned down
from what was originally intended; in many scenes, you could
see the actors' lips moving to say "Fuck," but you
hear something else dubbed in an ADR session afterwards. Jack
Frost 2 is good for fans of these kinds of cheesy horror movies.
If the logline, "He's Icin' and Dicing" doesn't make
you laugh, you'll hate this movie. I enjoyed the first Jack Frost quite a bit, so I was looking forward to this sequel. I was a little dissappointed with it.. There wasn't a single death shown, on screen. The budget was incredibly lower than the first one, which says a lot. It was a decent movie and all, but I was just a little dissappointed with it. There were some good deaths, though. ** out of *** |
