Summary: SNOWBALLS FROM HELL
Review: After seeing the wonderful first JACK FROST, I was wondering if the sequel could deliver as well. It's probably not quite as good as the first, only if the premise isn't as funny and original as it was the first time. BUT it's still one howler of a movie. In watching the extras, director/writer Michael Cooney is obviously the class clown with a warped although stimulating sense of humor. One can see why this movie is so outrageously hilarious!
Christopher Allport, Eileen Seeley, Marsha Clark and Chip Heller are back from the original and David Allen Brooks has plastic surgically returned as Agent Manning. They are all priceless, and have some really funny scenes.
But the star of this one is definitely Frost himself and his killer snowbabies. Looking like Gremlins, smiley faces and the Pillsbury Doughboy all combined, their attack on the lodge is hysterical. The deaths are more gruesome in this one, but they're done in such a "cartoon" style, the violence is more camp than gore. Once again, the music is great, not quite as inventive as the first, but nonetheless perfect.
I loved these two movies because they made me laugh!!!

Summary: It's no Jack Frost Part 1
Review: I hate to say it, but this movie was AWFUL! After seeing the first one not too long ago, I wanted to see the second one, especially when I heard about snowbabies. Well, it was a HUGE disappointment. If possible, it was even lower budget than the first Jack Frost film. The plot was nonsensical, the acting even more horrible, the special effects were beyond lousy, and the quality of the film was comparable to a home camcorder. Don't get me wrong--I am a HUGE fan of this type of film. I love cheesy horror flicks that star a creature or some inanimate object. But, this movie had no redeeming qualities. I only gave it two stars because the snowbabies were almost funny. Don't waste your time or money on this movie. Stick with the original.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and rubbish (I'll be saying those words a lot)
Review: This may be the second worst film ever made. Plan 9 From Outer Space was the worst film ever. But this is funnier. It's like a spectrum - there are great films that entertain and then there are crap films that entertain. This is therefore funny as hell because it's so rubbish. If you like really bad stuff like Toxic Avenger, then you'll like this. A lot. If you don't like rubbish movies, then you won't like this. It's a shame, because then you'll be missing out on a lot of laughter. It's GOOD that the effects are rubbish. It's GOOD that the lines and acting are crap. Why? Just because. And personally I thought the jokes were pretty good; their way of saying 'we know this is rubbish, but we all like a good rubbish film don't we?' The first one is OK but not funny. This one is funny because the filmmakers had even less money this time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's funny, campy, and bloody
Review: This was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It looked as if the entire movie was filmed using a cheap handheld camcorder. That is not the worst part. There is not one funny part in the entire movie. They use the corniest jokes that are not funny for any age. Plus this movie is so so low budget. They used foam balls with smiley faces to represent the "baby snowmen," but not only did they look fake, they only moved onces at a time. Whenever there was a scene with a bunch of these creatures, they didn'y move at all because they were just foam balls! Even when they would do a scene where one of them moved, you can just barely see the guys hand that is holding it. And did I mention that none of the snowmens mouths move when they talk? Not even Jack Frost, but this is probably because they picked up this cheap snowman costume at a halloween store. (...) When you are in the video store you might see the title and say, "wow, Revenge of the Killer Mutant Sowman, this movie must be hilarious!" (that's what I thought). But I was so disappointed with the movie that I was ready to throw the tape out the window. You will not believe that this is actually a movie, and that people have actually bought it. At best, this movie could possibly get a passing grade as an 8th grade video project (but probably not). Do not see this movie!

Summary: It's funny, campy, and bloody
Review: When I was younger, about ten years ago, I saw Jack Frost 1 and thought it was the worst movie ever made. An easy misconception for the series. You'll either love it or hate it and there's hardly and in-between opinion. The movie has tons of funny, low-budget violence that won't make you cringe but make you giggle (tons of gross blood spurting out ala Kill Bill but darker and chunkier), icicles shooting through the mouth, etc. The death scenes are usually originally and occasionally unexpected and ultimately boil down to a big "ha-ha! He's dead!" when the victim pours out some creamy red corn syrup. This movie does not take itself seriously 99% of the time. In a few scenes the actors are obviously aware that they are on camera and make a subtle pun. The filming, while not well done and frustratingly "late night soft-core porn" quality mingles with "so-bad-it's-funny" soap opera dialogue may be frustrating to watch at times; you might feel that quite a few scenes could have been that much better had the writers been a bit more clever. If you don't buy it on DVD, watch it on cable when it comes on. If you do buy it on DVD, watch it with a few friends who enjoy this kind of stuff. It's just pure stupid violent fun.
