  Dark, sleazy, and not worried about being a shot for shot remake of Bob Clark’s 1974 Classic, this movie has been a topic of debate ever since it was released... every time I tell someone how much I love it I’m met with intense reasoning by on why it’s terrible and like… I just don’t care lol—I like what I like.

  Bob Clark’s 1974 masterpiece is one of my top ten favorite films that I could watch any day of the year, I’ve travelled 100 miles on Christmas Eve (twice) so I could see it on the big screen during ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ so I really don’t need people telling me I’m not a real Black Christmas fan…

  Unrated Cut

  I stayed away from Glen Morgan's Black Christmas remake for years. I didn't want any part in it. The 2000s decade was packed full of remakes, reimaginings, and reboots, some of which succeeded (The Hills Have Eyes, The Ring) and others that failed (The Fog, The Uninvited, Prom Night, yeesh), but I already had Bob Clark's 1974 classic tucked away in my Christmas stocking as a forever favorite, so I decided against it. Not out of spite, necessarily, but wanting to leave the original as its own thing, detached from the IP-recycle mentality. But of course, with a Blumhouse production on the way (with Imogen Poots! Yes!), and an accumulation, increasing seemingly every year, of positive reflections…

  HO-HO-HOLD UP, A 2.3 AVERAGE RATING ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?! What did this movie ever do to you HATEFUL AWFUL PEOPLE?! WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

If we are friends and you rated this low, please know that I absolutely still…

  I don't care what anybody says, Black Christmas 2006 is the definitive campy xmas slasher to watch every year with your loser friends.

  Where would you ever find a slasher that makes every kill as festive as it can while having half the movie lit by Christmas lights like some kind of Kringle Suspiria? Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies is like 97% of the musical score and Michelle Trachtenberg swears a bunch, sorry, it doesn't get more festive than this.

  Review by aaron ★★½ 4

  The number of movies I put on having no idea they star thee Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

  Anyways this one was okay? The characters weren't exactly the most likeable, not because they're all horrible people but just because a lot of them blend together. It was hard to tell who the protagonist was, which was good in a sense. It made it far more difficult to discern who would live and die (I was rooting for thee Mary Elizabeth Winstead of course) which was nice.

  The gore in this movie was a redeemable aspect for sure, it really went there thankfully. The original was pretty restrained but it made up for that with a genuinely creepy atmosphere, which I have to…

  Review by anna kendrick lamar ★★

  Clearly the work of a Final Destination writer, it thrives on inventive, usually hilarious kills and loses interest when it’s doing just about anything else. I’ve given good reviews to much dumber movies than this, so I’m not going to criticize it too hard for dopey writing or weak acting, but Glen Morgan’s aesthetics are a major drawback. That glossy, uber-slick, mid-2000s horror sheen tends to bore me with how much it feels like calculated studio product, whereas if the exact same production exhibited the grimy, recently-unearthed sensibilities of something like Silent Night, Deadly Night or Sleepaway Camp, I may have been spellbound by the schlock. Anything you don’t like almost always doubles as an opportunity to consider what you do like. Merry Christmas!

  I’m starting to think that Blumhouse just made that newer remake just to prove how much this older remake kicks ass.

  Review by DreamScape40 ★★★½

  I think Billy should have his own individual film instead of Hollywood making re-makes of "Black Christmas".
  Don't get me wrong I like this re-make just not the newest one.
  Love the sorority gals in this one along with Andrea Martin who plays "phyl" in the original "Black Christmas" and plays house mom in this version. I like seeing original cast members come back to do re-makes whether it's their original character or playing someone different.

  Watch this every year, both the original and this re-make.
  One of these Christmas's I want to decorate my hallway like how they have it in the film.

  I don’t know how else to describe this, but in some strange way, I’ve always felt overly protective of this movie. During its initial release back in 2006, it got absolutely hammered by fans of the original (which also includes me) and disregarded by professionals as bargain-bin trash, and I just couldn’t understand it. It’s so bloody awesome! And I mean that literally and figuratively.

  In all honesty, I would have to say this is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable horror movies I’ve ever seen...and I have seen a lot. From the snappy editing to the colourful set design, and the vicious kills to the outlandish bitchy humour, there is not one single second that allows room for tedium to…

  So, I finally gave this a watch as truthfully, I felt it was one of the only 'decent' Christmas horror movies left that I have not seen and which just has a rental version I can click on something and watch without feeling basic and poor. Which is this problem I'm having lately. As in all other aspects of life, including my work, the problem is I am very much that person who will inform anyone who mentions Carol King including my mother in law that she sang the theme for the original Care Bears movie and sometimes, I will add her being a regular guest star on Gilmore Girls for those couple of seasons. Does my compulsive Carol King…
