Chillingly bad...

Given my love of all things horror, of course I opted to watch the 2022 movie "Curse of Jack Frost" here in 2025, as I had the opportunity to do so. Sure, I had never heard about, and I can't claim that the movie's cover wasn't all that enticing. Yet, I still opted to check it out and see what writer Craig McLearie and director Liana Failla had to offer. And the fact that the movie had scored a staggering 2.9 rating here on IMDb when I sat down to watch it, didn't exactly promise well of a grand movie experience.Writer Craig McLearie managed to put together a chilling tale of... wait, that was not the case here. In fact, he managed to put together a flaming dumpster fire of a storyline that is driven by an insanely slow paced and pointless narrative. So yeah, you're not in for anything grand, should you opt to brave the chill and sit down to watch "Curse of Jack Frost".Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with actress Nicola Wright. Yeah, I've seen enough low budget horror movies to actually be familiar with her.Dear god, the character design of Jack Frost in the movie was pretty stupid. Especially since his face was inarticulate, yet he was still able to talk. This just didn't play out well in favor of the movie, and it was so difficult to take it serious. It was nothing more than a stupid Halloween latex mask. But the problem with the Jack Frost character didn't end there, no, there were the long and rubbery fingers as well.I will be generous here and say that the special effects in the movie were exactly that; special. But not in a satisfying manner.If you enjoy horror movies, take heed and don't waste 80 minutes on watching "Curse of Jack Frost". Some of us suffered through this ordeal, so you don't have you; you're very welcome.My rating of director Liana Failla's 2022 movie "Curse of Jack Frost" lands on a chilling two out of ten stars.

Niche film

I feel into a thriller/horror film binge and this ended up being in that bucket of films. I have came across the name Jack Frost before. Not sure if it is a common folktale of the guy. This film was easy to watch and the storyline was simple to follow. It had some blood pumping scenes, I think because of how the character looked. The cast was all new to me or do not see them in films too often. The setting was fitting and limited to a general location from what I recall, a church. There was not much leading up the climax of the story. Not much a before or after the main plot if that makes sense. Mainly focused on the horror event. I found the main character Jack Frost to be entertaining and fit for a horror film. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a horror film that doesn't have a complex plot to it. It isn't super length either which is a bonus.

Painful from the start

I watch a lot of horror films - and most of them are pretty low budget. Yes, they're bad, sometimes so bad I eventually turn them off too early to even review. However, 'Curse of Jack Frost' is an especially bad type of bad. Most awful low budget straight-to-streaming-service horror movies don't show how bad they really are until at least 15-20 minutes into their runtime. Not this one - it was bad from the opening shot.It begins with a selection of hand drawn images, which are basically one hell of a long exposition dump about how Father Christmas was once a bad-a$$ warrior fighting the forces of darkness (led by Jack Frost, in case you hadn't guessed). Now, besides going on for waaaay too long, they're played straight. The whole idea of jacked-up warrior Santa sounds like it belongs in 'South Park' to be laughed at, not a horror film in which we're supposed to be afraid of.Then we're introduced to the usual 'flesh-sacks' at the beginning of every horror film ever made. They're there purely to die - and die they do. But, being one of the worst horror movies ever made, the 'Jack Frost' antagonist is revealed to be one of the worst-looking monsters ever. Seriously, the mask is okay if you're going to an average Halloween party, but the real problem arises when he speaks. His lips don't move. The film-makers actually didn't have the budget to animate any part of his face. It's just a mask. No more, no less - like I say... as scary as any you can buy around the end of October every year.And that was about when I knew I was going to want to turn this film off. I stuck with it, simply because I wanted to see if it actually had any redeeming qualities. It didn't. I really wish I could get back the hour and a half I spent watching this film. It's not scary. It's not gory. It's not self-aware or in any way clever. It's really one of the worst horror movies I've watched online recently.
