Synopsis

San Diego, present day: The murders are starting again. A girl has been found with two holes in her neck and her body totally drained of blood. Lt Dan Richardson [Shane Pliskin] knows what it is but doesn't believe it, so he calls in blind art-dealer Micah [Gary Busey]. Micah confirms the lieutenant's suspicion that a vampire is at work and reminds him of the previous lesson learned by Jack Frost, who was forced to kill his best friend Nat McKenzie when Nat became a vampire.

treesgetwheeledaway This movie was absolute crap. Nothing in it makes sense. It's funny because there's just no point. Read the tagline! What the hell does that even mean? Were they trying to make a horrible film? The lead actor, whose name is Jack Frost in the movie, looks like a cross between George Michael and Kevin Smith. It's all downhill form there. They try to incorporate some sort of ridiculous war story into the plot, and it doesn't work at all. All of the actors just look goofy and the writing just makes no sense at all. They do throw in some nudity for good measure though, and to keep people from turning the movie off. I imagine they were trying to make Frost into some sort of cult hero like Ash or something, but, no, not even close. He walks around with his stupid sunglasses killing people. It's all really, really lame. So, yeah, they got all that. Then they got some top of the line computer effects. The helicopters in the movie will blow you away, I totally couldn't tell they were fake, same goes for the bats. I couldn't believe that the director, or whoever the hell it was did a special feature w/ commentary for the special effects. They're laughable at best. The whole movie is laughable actually. Gary Busey's total screen time is about 2 minutes. 2 non-consecutive minutes. If you're looking for a laugh, definitely check this out. The complete non-sensical-ness(word?) all will have you cracking up.
dlfasig This is one of those rare movies that has absolutely nothing to recommend it. From beginning to end there are no high points. There aren't even points high enough to be called low - it is unrelentingly abysmal.The acting is so bad you wonder if the cast members are even allowed to join Actors' Equity. I've seen better set design in high school plays. Continuity was awful, costumes were awful, everything was awful. Every possible detail was neglected or overlooked.It drew an R rating - ostensibly for violence and nudity - but if that's what you're looking for, don't bother. The violence is tame and so poorly choreographed and directed that you're more likely to yawn than gasp. And you can see as much nudity on prime time broadcast TV. The actors aren't even good looking. Not even the gratuitous nude (her whole part was gratuitous not just her nude scene).Do yourself a favor and leave this one alone.
Wendy Oh my God!! Everyone was right - Frost is a horrible movie. I found it last night at the rental place and decided to give it a try. Once I got home I checked out IMDB for comments and got very concerned, but decided to try it anyway. Let's just say I fell asleep half way through. The acting was so horrible that it made me wonder if the director went out in the streets, asked the first person he saw "Have you ever acted before?" and when the person replied "No" he said "You're hired!!" I've seen better acting in porno movies! And my big question is after Nat got bit and they fast foward 1 year (it did say 1 year on the screen) how did his hair get so long!! I wish my hair would grow that fast in a year. And I thought Vampire couldn't walk in the daylight?! Maybe I missed that explaination at the end?! This is a horrible, pointless movie that couldn't scare me if it really tried. If you can avoid, please do so.
Katatonia ****************** SPOILERS AHEAD ******************I had hopes that this would be an entertaining Vampire movie. Alas, it is a complete mess through and through. The story is all over the place and never really makes all that much sense. I wouldn't really even call it a "Vampire Movie" until the last 30 minutes. In fact, the first 30 minutes have practically no Horror in them, except for the very first scene.The story ranges from Afghanistan, to Mexico, to the USA. We see a brief murder scene at the beginning of the picture, which of course the police suspect is the work of a Vampire as the culprit. Next the story involves a Mercenary team working in Afghanistan in 1989 when the Russians were at war. We see a Vampire (or we think so) in the desert in broad daylight detained by locals who want him killed by the Mercs. One of the Mercs steps up to him and gets bitten, so he shoots him dead without thinking any more of it. The vampire died easily from a normal bullet??? That was never explained and contradicts what happens later in the movie. Next, fast forward to an rebel uprising in Mexico...where we see the same Merc looking like a deranged hippie with long hair. We also see a "Mexican General", or i guess he was at least...it never really explained that part of the story in much depth either. This General seemed American to me (or the acting at least), only adding to the utter confusion of the plot. What happens next is the transformation of the Merc into a Vampire (after how many years after the bite???). The story becomes mostly laughable after that and really isn't worth mentioning. A little is explained in the end, but i never felt like most of the hooks in the plot were followed through.My main complaint with this film is the fact that the plot seems like a complete mess. This film doesn't pretend to be a David Lynch style of incoherence. Rather, it simply fails to follow a good story and leaves the viewer frustrated with it's results. Another complaint is the casting and acting, the lead role is by a guy who looks like a twin of George Michael. His acting seemed rather stagnant at times. I am also a fan of Gary Busey, but he seemed awfully cast in this one.Bottom line: There are many superior "Vampire B-Movies" out there that are much more enjoyable. 3 out of 10 stars...at least some of the scenes were filmed well.
