Sheriff Sam Tiler needs a vacation. One year ago Sheriff Tiler saved his town from a mutated snowman who used to be a serial killer named Jack Frost. Having trouble dealing with the past, Sam, his wife and a couple of friends head off to a tropic tourist resort in order to forget about their chilling memories, but there is going to be an uninvited guest on their vacation, a guest who knows vengeance is a dish best served cold, even in the tropics!

The abominable snowman himself, Jack Frost is back for a second outing of one liners and mayhem in Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman and this time the gloves are off… literally!

If the idea of a killer snowman stalking tourists in a tropical resort sounds insane to you then stay away from this flick, but if you can go along with the story premise and were a fan of the original Jack Frost then bundle up because this one is sure to delight.

So Sheriff Sam heads to the tropics for some fun in the sun, but back home someone has cracked open Jack’s antifreeze tomb and unleashed the frosty psycho once more. Being in the anti-freeze for so long has altered Jack’s molecular structure even more and has granted him new abilities to play around with and once he figures out what he can do, old Jack is going after the man that took him down a year ago. Don’t get to upset though, even with his new abilities Jack still forms into his trademark snowman form once in a while through out the movie, he even gets his carrot nose back for all of us Frost purists out there. And actor Scott MacDonald also returns as the voice of Jack as well to complete the package.

Once in the tropics Jack begins to take out college students left and right as he works his way to Sheriff Sam. As the bodies begin to pile up the resort staff try and cover it up but craft Sheriff Sam catches on to what’s going on and with a little help from a familiar face Sam is back on the hunt for Jack. Before the final show down we get lots of gags and gore with a few splashes of ample T&A along the way and like in the first film there are some truly original kills to be seen. This time around the best has to be when Jack poses as an ice cube and gets to help out in a bikini commercial.

Towards the end of this one, the film makers just say to hell with it and go off into some truly zany-ass shit, but it’s fun and works for this franchise for some reason, even if Jack’s new weakness is one of the craziest things ever on film. And be sure to watch clear through the end credits for the super special ending that may leave you creaming for Jack Frost 3.

If you liked the first film or are a fan of films like Basket Case or the Sleepaway Camp sequels then this one is a must see, if those type of films are not your cup you may want to leave this one alone.
