    • Quotes

      Mr. Frost: Oh, oh... I wanted to talk to you about Carol. You left her at home... all alone that night... and those kids got in the house and... sooo senseless but... with you at the corner pub? Do you know what your wife's last thought on this Earth was? Felix? She HATED you... for not being there to save her life.

    • Alternate versions
      There's an alternate ending in which we find Dr. Day in a room, still and quiet while a psychiatrist is talking to her. Suddenly she catches a fly in the air with her hand, and listens to its buzz, as Frost had done earlier I'm the movie.

    we have seen the devil, and he is us
    True, there are plenty of devil-themed movies out there. But what makes "Mister Frost" different is that it looks more at how the Prince of Darkness might try to communicate with humans. Jeff Goldblum plays the title character, in the form of a man who suddenly is living in a villa and admits to having buried 24 corpses in his yard. After two years of silence, he starts talking to psychiatrist Sarah Day (Kathy Baker) and trying to convince her that he is in fact Satan.

    This movie is sort of the flip side of stories about people who rediscover their faith in God. Sarah gives a speech detailing the fact that humans have wrought more havoc than the Devil seemingly could, Frost starts complaining that science has interfered with progress; he's trying to renew her faith in his existence. This is one charismatic Devil. That is, when he's not possessing people.

    I certainly liked this movie. Far more perceptive than the average devil-is-trying-to-take-over-the-world story, it manages to be creepy without being particularly violent. Each of the characters looks just a bit menacing at some point or other. Early in the movie, Jeff Goldblum looks almost exactly like Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" video. Really good.

    Also starring Alan Bates, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Vincent Schiavelli and Charley Boorman (John Boorman's son).
