underrated horror gem


jack frost 1996 is an awesome horror film. the acting was decent, the effects were cool an not over the top, and it has a great balance of horror and comedy as well. followed by the just as excellent sequel, jack frost 2 revenge of the mutant killer snowman

I have to agree. Great black comedy. And I really can't stand Christmas movies in general and its great to have a satire like this.

Indeed, I liked this movie since I first watched it on cable in the 90's.
Just started watching the sequel on ROKU, looks decent so far.

I agree. It is very underrated. It is one of the better Christmas movies I have seen. It definitely helped in getting me in the holiday spirit.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

I once tried renting this and got the Michael Keaton one instead. I was recently reminded of the horror movie, so now I'm going to try to find a proper copy of it.

I watched this a few hours ago, hadn't seen it in over 10 years. I've outgrown it. It was fun when I was 12 back in 2000, but it wasn't as fun this time around. Not to rain on this thread's parade.

My love for this film and the sequel have not diminished one bit.

I remember this a few times in the late 90's. It had some funny scenes.

I Love this movie. It was hilarious, it was cheesy, bad acting, over the top. it was great.

They don't make movies like this anynmore. Now everyone is too self aware and people will act horrible on purpose. Bad movies now are made on purpose which sucks out all the fun of watching movies like this one.

It is truly a horror comedy gem. It is great .

What I loved about this flick is that despite the totally ridiculous premise, the cast still plays it totally 'straight' as if they're in a "real" horror film.

In the second movie the performers played up the campy aspect of it and that made it a little less fun.
