RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

jackie meovff 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.

cyrilnet 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.

Lee Eisenberg 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).

DennisH Minor spoilers below.I saw 'Mister Frost' for the first time when it came out on video back in 1991, and then several years later. The first time I saw it I was enthralled by Goldblum's performance as The Devil, and I didn't notice the film's weaknesses. Not so with the second viewing, but it still leaves an impression.First the positives: Goldblum's portrayal of Satan (as well as the script he recites) is as close to my view of the true Devil as I've seen on screen. The Devil would not appear on earth with a tail, horns, and a pitchfork. He would be intelligent, mocking, frustrating, elusive, and malevolent; all the while doing his best to appear human. The story is also well-motivated and developed. The first interview between Dr. Day and Lucifer was the most tense scene in the movie, and one of my all time favorites. As to the negatives: Others will mention the less than stellar performances of the supporting cast and the generally pitiful score. These are significant flaws, especially Alan Bates as Detective Detweiler, but not crippling. What I didn't care for was that the Devil didn't follow his own rules; he made it impossible for Dr. Day not to believe him. For example, he melts Dr. Day's ring in his hand and heals a spinal chord. These things cannot be done by a typical psycho in a ward, the melting point of gold is a bit higher than the burning temperature of flesh. A lot of people didn't care for the conclusion. I thought the final fate of Dr. Day was perfect, but the acting and general meandering of the third act was poor and really slowed down the movie until the final five minutes.I recommend the movie to people who enjoy reasonably intelligent supernatural stories that are not laden with special effects.
