Critic Reviews

  • Caryn James, New York Times

    Mr. Goldblum, Ms. Baker and Mr. Bates (in a relatively small role) all seem professional, restrained and uncomfortable, which is at least a tribute to their good sense.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    Thousands of actors have played Lucifer, but none has ever given him this particular charismatic brand of idiosyncratic loopiness.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    "Mr. Frost" is silly, but not silly enough. The problem with movies like this is that they've forgotten how to be absurd.

  • , Time Out New York

    The film does grip, despite the sometimes below-par quality of both the camerawork and the acting.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    Muddled is the perfect word to describe this mess.

    Jeff Goldblum plays the devil. Quite awesome when I was still actively watching it; got a little too bombed to finish it. But I'll probably watch this again because this is a movie that for me is fun enough to watch a few times.

    Very good horror/thriller about a mental patient who just might be satan. Great performances and a chilling atmosphere, I'm truly shocked this one has been almost completely forgotten.
