Watch Mister Frost For Free

Don't Believe the Hype

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I have to start off with saying that I am a huge fan of Jeff Goldblum. Mr Frost or The Deadly Mr Frost is one of the best films he has starred in. It is also one of the most underrated films as well and very difficult to find. I was lucky that I managed to get a copy on VHS a few years back.Jeff Goldblum plays Mr Frost, a cold blooded murderer who had dozens of bodies buried on the grounds of his palatial home.After being arrested he is sent to a high end metal institution. Mr Frost, having not spoken for two years, speaks to the only female doctor there, Sarah Day played by Kathy Bates. He tell her that he is in actual fact Satan and so a macabre game of cat and mouse begins.Jeff Goldblum is in his element here as Mr Frost and Kathy Bates gives a good sold performance as ever. Seeing her go from skeptic to believer is really fascinating.Alan Bates as Felix Detweiler puts in a fine performance as well but the bonus for me was seeing Vincent Schiavelli as the desk clerk. Is there a movie he hasn't been in?Francois Negret also puts in a compelling performance as Christopher, a sweet young patient doomed be another one of Frost's victims.The Deadly Mt Frost is not your run of the mill movies, but rather a film that works on all different levels. It is in turns, creepy, atmospheric and at times tragic. *Poor Christopher*If you are a fan of either, Jeff Goldblum, Kathy Bates or Alan Bates, this really is going to be worth watching

This movie is remarkably neglected. I seem to be the only person I've ever met that has seen it. I think it's freaking brilliant. Granted I'm a fan of Jeff Goldblum,but that said, it is a stellar creepy performance. Release it on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The script is beautiful. The sets are sublime. The tension is like his baked Alaska. The performances are tremendous. Kathy Bates (of Picket Fences fame) plays a wonderful foil to Mr. Goldblum's performance. He is both charming and unnerving. The questions he allows to resonate on the nature of good and evil are with me years after watching this film. I continually recommend it to my friends yet no one can find it. It is a defining moment in his career that deserves attention. Please, for the love of whatever you love, re-release this film on DVD!

Throughout this movie, the best thing, by far, is the performance of Jeff Goldblum. But, I'm not quite sure it's enough to carry this film. It tries very hard to be very stylish and odd and freaky, but falls short with a concept that, done correctly, could have been quite intense. The picture is intentionally very subtle, but is riddled at times with clichéd horror movie tactics that don't quite fit. It almost feels as if the only person who put any effort into their performance was Goldblum and that the director and writer felt that simply being stylish and setting a dark undertone would be enough. Goldblum's portrayal of The Prince of Darkness has to be the quirkiest portrayal ever put on film. He fills the performance with a subtle charisma and his usual odd behavior and I was really hoping that he would just rise up at the end of the film and kill all of the other actors with a grin or a raise of his eyebrow. All of the flaws of this film considered, it could have been saved by a really gripping ending... but there is none. The film builds slowly, mostly due to the performance of Goldblum, and you are lead to believe that we'll have some sort of great cataclysmic ending... but there is none... it just sort of ends. If you are a fan of Jeff Goldblum, you'll enjoy his performance. If not, you will probably find the film boring and tedious.

This movie is sadly overlooked and underated. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of Goldblum's better performances (sure beats ID4!). He was okay in The Fly, and okay in Jurassic Park too.I like Kathy Baker's role, but she herself, I find a little annoying at times. Here she's dead on as a psychologist who begins to lose faith in her field.Mostly thought, it's the tension this movie produces that won me over. For once I couldn't predict how it was going to end. Would she just quit and walk away from it all? Would she stick to her guns and ignore Mr. Frost's wishes like a "good doctor" should? Would she give in to Frost? I really saw it going any of those ways 'till the end.I could really have done without Francois Negret-- his character was important, but as a person he really put me off. He was the worst part of the movie. And the performance of the doctor unable to withhold his love for Sarah was so melodramatic and overplayed, it bordered on revolting.Overall I think this movie was original and cleverly-made.
