Plot - Sam and Anne having disposed of Jack in part one set off on holiday to forget about their troubles for a while in a tropical beach in the sun.

Little do they know that an experiment on the remains of Jack Frost that they had buried in the first film had been resurrected in an accidental laboratory disaster.

Jack comes to the island looking to spread his trademark havoc, and once again attempt revenge on the man who put him away for countless murders.

One problem - this time he's super strength! He can't be stopped in the same way as before - how will the Tiler's survive this deadly paradise island?

DVD Extras - a trailer - don't get too excited now!

Thought on the film - well it was everything you would expect from a sequel of this kind, they rolled out the same old jokes and tried to stop Jack in the ways that had worked previously, but to no avail. Hell, we even got baby killer snowballs towards the end - but nothing could save this from falling into the trap of every other comedy horror sequel...

The acting isn't great as per the first film, and if you don't want Sean Patrick Murphy to become a victim of te snowman by the end of the film then you're a better person than me!

Even the packaging manages a terrible pun "Just when you thawed it was safe to go back in the fridge" - I can sense you all cringing along with me just reading that!

Things I learned from this film...
1. Snowmen never forget, they may be related to elephants.
2. Even a tropical island isn't safe from unseasonable snow storms.
3. Baby snowballs bleed when you blitz them in a liquidiser!
