Trivia

Kevin Van Hook actually created Frost as a comic book about a decade earlier. The first comic book story introduced the vampire, in an admittedly somewhat Kolchak Night Stalker style approach. However, the sequel mini-series, Frost: The Dying Breed, featured no vampires at all, but rather served as a Wilbur Smith/Wild Geese/Dogs of War/Soldiers of Barabbas style mercenary/modern adventure story.

User Reviews

Absolute crap

FROST is absolute crap from frame one. This pathetic, boring excuse for a movie is possibly one of the worst ever made, and not in the "so bad it's good" way, either, but in the "so bad, I shut it off after 20 minutes" way that renters find so commonplace these days. I walk into the video store and find endless rows of movies so bad or boring like this but beautifully packaged... Inside, they are all the same homogenized, no talent crap that makes me sick. With so much of this mindless junk clogging up the new release shelves, it's no wonder films are now called "product" in the industry. Why? Because there's no artistry, creativity or desire to "push the envelope" involved whatsoever anymore. Anyway, FROST is poorly acted (and when I say poor, I mean rock bottom), poorly written, poorly edited, and poorly directed. The CGI is awful and looks like a cheap video game. From Gary Busey's star billing on the box, I was hoping he was going to play a vampire, not DAREDEVIL! The only good thing about this film was the main title sequence, but even that was ruined by cutting away from it back to Gary Busey talking. The title didn't even come up until after all the rest of the credits were long gone! Way to ruin the only good thing this movie had going for it. Avoid FROST like the plague!!!
