I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the fifteenth night, I am posting the 2022 film, Jack Frost.
Jack Frost (2022)
Not to be confused with the late 90's horror comedy involving a snarky snowman, this 2022 film features a more traditional take on the holiday villain. An English family decides to celebrate Christmas despite the warnings from their Grandmother, who survived a brutal attack at the hands of Jack Frost years prior. Jack Frost appears and immediately gets to work, making their holiday celebration an icy and deadly affair. While not as silly as the 1998 unrelated film, Jack Frost focuses on crafting a back story involving a war with Santa and creating a mythology to construct this villain as a winter version of Jason or Freddy. The budget may be low, but this film does deliver on some creative kills, and Jack Frost does show some promise as a potential franchise villain. Unfortunately, the low budget and derivative storyline hamper this film's attempt at creating a new holiday villain.
