On his way to be executed, a serial killer's transport crashes into a genetic research truck, where his mutated DNA merges with the water molecules and he becomes a killer snowman able to reconstitute at will, all while swearing revenge on the small-time sheriff who caught him. You know exactly what you're getting with this over-the-top horror-comedy; ridiculous kills and cheesy one-liners. It shares a similar DNA to the Chucky movies, except the immortal soul has been trapped in ice and snow, so he's rendered unkillable.
I remember seeing this on video when it first came out. I was the perfect age for it. It remains one of the underrated gems of the season and a cult classic.
