Vinegar Syndrome surprised everyone this past week with news
that director Michael Cooney’s 1996 Christmas-themed horror tale, Jack
Frost, will be given a limited edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack push on
Dec. 13.
This newly minted 2K restoration — from original 35mm film
elements — stars Scott MacDonald (Fire in the Sky, Jarhead,
etc.) as the notorious serial killer Jack Frost, who escapes — on the night of
his execution — and makes good on his vow to visit vengeance upon Sheriff Sam
Tiler (Christopher Allport — To Live and Die in L.A.), the man
who captured him!
Only there’s a twist, Jack seemingly died during the escape
when a tanker truck full of some sort of “acid” crashes and dumps its contents
on the killer, melting him in the process.
So is it Jack Frost on this latest killing spree … or is it someone
else, perhaps even the Sheriff? Or, is
there something else even more sinister going on!
Bonus features include commentary with director Michael
Cooney, who also provides a video introduction to the film, plus there are two
video sessions featuring Scott MacDonald and cinematographer Dean Lent (Border
Radio, The Dogwalker, etc.).
