He hasn't spoken in two years. No one knows his identity. Officially he doesn't exist... but 24 corpses do. Call evil by its proper name.
Frost is arrested and committed for murder after he is apprehended burying his victims in the garden. However, even while under psychiatric care and tight hospital security, it becomes obvious that Mr. Frost is not all he seems to be.

**_These days we have no sympathy for the devil_** A nonchalant man in England (Jeff Goldblum) is discovered to have 24 bodies buried on his property and is interned at a mental asylum in France for examination. The detective who brought him in warns of his diabolic origins (Alan Bates) while the female psychiatrist assigned to his case (Kathy Baker) is intrigued by his life-threatening eccentricities. “Mister Frost” (1990) is an artistic supernatural drama/thriller with a smidgen of horror.

There's something very creepy about Jeff Goldblum and in this movie he does get to let that flag fly free. He does a fantastic job of portraying Mr Frost and while the rest of the movie does not quite live up to his standards, it's still a decent movie if not quite as terrifying as I think it could have been. It is clearly a product of its time and lacks a bit of tension because of its pacing. It's still a decently fun watch especially if you are a fan of Mr. Goldblum.
