2020 October Horror Challenge #53: "Jack Frost (Rifftrax)"

 




I saw this movie a few years ago and thought it was pretty terrible. I was hoping the Rifftrax version would be better because of the smartass comedy. The movie is about a secret government experimental acid that makes people immortal by binding their DNA to inert objects (you're probably thinking I made that up, but that's taken directly from the movie dialogue) but there's a car accident and the truck carrying the acid collides with a truck transporting a serial killer for execution, and he gets melted by the acid but becomes immortal because his DNA binds with the snow, so he turns into an evil snowman and goes after the cop who arrested him.

Just typing that plot summary made my brain melt. The movie couldn't even afford to shoot somewhere with real snow, all the snow is fake and you can clearly see actors tripping over the sheets of fake snow and lifting them up to reveal grass beneath (wouldn't it have been cheaper to shoot somewhere with real snow?) So yeah, this movie is terrible,  but the comments were really funny this time around. Here are some of my favorites:


"Ushering men to their death at the hands of the state is a real hoot!"

"And so begins the origin story of Kool-aid Man."

"He's like Barney Fife, but without the humor, or charm, or basic dignity. He probably smells too."

"Taking the lord's name in vain is COOL when I do it! Shut up, daughter!"

"If you say Jesus one more time he's gonna appear like Beetlejuice and shut this whole thing down."

"So much like my wedding night. Slammed doors. Talk of linoleum. Cop cars."

"In Minnesota taking off even one glove is considered public nudity."

"The power of Vidal Sasoon compells you!"

"That's what I demand from any good action scene. Absorbancy."

Gotta love it. I recommend watching the Rifftrax version of this movie. Much better.
