Best movie of this year hands down!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This peculiar horror-thriller, a French/English co-production by the way, opens promising and rather intriguing with the unmasking of a demonic serial killer who calmly admits to the police inspector at his kitchen table that he's digging a hole in his garden to bury a murder victim and that he approximately has committed another twenty-four vile and sardonic murders. The maniac, Mr. Frost, is then institutionalized and doesn't speak another word anymore, until he's transferred to a new psychiatric clinic where he sees the opportunity to manipulate the lovely female Dr. Sarah Day. From here onwards, "Mr. Frost" quickly turns into a dull, formulaic and excessively talkative bunch of nonsense. Mr. Frost attempts to convince Sarah that he is the devil himself, and although she doesn't want to believe him, she can't explain why other patients in the clinic suddenly turn into a murderous beasts or why fellow staff members narrowly throw themselves from the roof. Sarah also gets into contact with the cop who arrested Mr. Frost and this leads the stupidest and most implausible romantic sub plot in the history of cinema. Many of my fellow reviewers state that the film is worth watching if only for Jeff Goldblum's amazing performance, but I don't agree. Goldblum is good, obviously, but he can't carry an entire movie that is extremely boring and derivative. The photography and settings are uninspired, the action sequences are sleep-inducing and all other lead performances (from Kathy Baker and particularly Alan Bates) are abominable. In fact, the only part of "Mr. Frost" that I really enjoyed was the – too – brief cameo appearance by Vincent Schiavelli.

For a movie which had little special effects, and no CG stuff this was great. Made back in the days when all you had going for you was good writing, good acting and good directing. Its been so long since I saw this, I can't even remember how the production quality was. I wish this would be released on DVD, though. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Blows away most of the recycled garbage seeping out of Hollywood today by a mile. Great example of a good medium-low budget movie. I like Goldblum in these types of roles. I liked him in the Invasion of the Bodysnatcher remake with Southerland (better than the original, actually) Help me get this released on DVD so our kids don't have to watch crap like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and the last 3 Star Wars episodes.

When an insane mass murderer Mr. Frost (Jeff Goldblum) arrives at a secluded European psychiatric hospital, the only female doctor on the staff (Kathy Baker) finds herself strangely fascinated by him. He only speaks when she is around, and she is slowly seduced by his odd charms and mystique, despite his bloody past. Soon odd, frightening and deadly things begin to occur inside and outside of the clinic, and Mr. Frost reveals that he is more than just a mad serial killer, he claims he is Satan himself, and it is up to the doctor and a policeman (Alan Bates) to stop him.For a so called horror film, nothing even remotely scary happens. Sure a few people are murdered and some 'scary' visions are seen, but even when these things happen, the filmmakers manage to make it boring, from beginning to end.All the actors are terrible, especially Goldblum, who basically plays the same character he always plays but with long hair and a bad mood. The usually adept Kathy Baker seems bored whenever she isn't in some sort of trance or in Frost's thrall.This movie has an interesting premise, but the script is pretty stupid, and the execution is even worse. Whether it was from budget constraints, a bad director, a satanic curse, or a mixture of all these things, the film is just awful. A better director could have taken the crappy script, improved on it's interesting conceits, and made a somewhat entertaining supernatural thriller. But there's no such luck here. What we get is a dull, wannabe intelligent horror film. It shoots to be in league with 'The Exorcist' but ends up in the toilet with 'Bless the Child.'

A chilling portrait of terror without any gratuitous violence. This is one brilliant film, many a film lovers probably missed, and a film that succeeded instilling sheer terror in audience without any gory details or bloody violence. Like 12 Angry Men, the words and pure acting, accolades to Jeff Goldblum's brilliant performance as the eponymous character where the name became evil itself. It's difficult to get a DVD of this movie as it's out of print and the one's are quite pricey too, however you'll find the full movie in Google Videos. In Australia it was titled as Deadly Mister Frost. If the movie is in your TV channel don't miss it.
