Unnecessary remake of the classic groundbreaking horror film of the same name, Black Christmas is a dull film that has everything you'd expect from a bad remake, bad acting, bad directing, predictable story and a poor cast. The original was a classic film that did not need to be ... read more

Classless remake of the brilliant original featuring a bunch of stuck-up, foul-mouthed sorority sisters who you really don't mind seeing get brutally eye-gouged by the maniacal Billy Lenz and his sister/daughter Agnes. It's fast-paced and fairly unpredictable as far as who lives ... read more

February 5, 2010fb733768972One of the most wasted time movie experiences ever! The end was the worst way to end a movie I have ever seen! I recommend it to people who like laughing g at horror movies!

A dull and dismal film. Despite it's Christmas setting, it doesn't even try and capture some form of Christmas spirit. None of the characters learn anything about themselves or Christmas, which makes the deaths particularly uninvolved. Talent such as Chabert and Winstead are simp... read more

The best part of this flick is it looks good and the effects really work well. The story is basically the usual thing and to be honest is does work but very predictable. The backstory of the killer and his upbringing is good and shows us how it all happened and the possible outco... read more

Not as bad as everyone claims it to be. Fun, mindless crazy-violent slasher. Just for the record I'm not a fan of the original so that might have something to do with it too.

Some fun stuff, but in the end it's just a slasher movie. I always enjoy a good jaundiced character, however.

This is a very dumb movie about very pretty, very dumb girls who die in very dumb ways. Imagine the recent remake of Prom Night, except that it's set during Christmas at a sorority house. And it's somehow worse.
Most of it makes no sense. It's really just a seri... read more -

You would think that the producers of this film may be on there way to something after producing the mediocre Final Destination. Well, they are on there way back to square one. Cliched horror flick!
The story is completely rubbish and it goes nowhere quickly. Everythi

Critic Reviews
Black Christmas lacks the timing and visual wit to make its splattery EC Comics gags either genuinely scary or funny. Full Review
As yuletide counterprogramming goes, here's one smelly lump of coal.
Creativity is a stranger to this sick excuse for entertainment, which pounds a ridiculous back story into a butchered rehash that includes incest, cannibalism, eyeball gouging and impossibly dumb plot... Full Review
It also exchanges the police subplot that gave the earlier film its steady pace for a lot of pointless backstory about the mother-fixated stalker. Full Review
This movie serves up a bland, interchangeable mix of victims. Because the sitting ducks don't display any personality, it's hard to get worked up about their fate. Full Review
Even by the notoriously low standards of sadistic slasher pics, this remake is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, relying heavily on such gruesome spectacles as the baking (and consuming) of Christmas ... Full Review
Connoisseurs of trashy moviemaking are left with a bland slasher film, filled with a bad guy who lacks menace, a script that lacks humor and several hot young characters who have the nerve to go throu... Full Review
Glen Morgan's disastrous remake smothers terror beneath a blanket of unnecessary information, revealing too much and teasing too little.
Where the first film was a seminal forerunner of early stalker classics like Halloween, this version feels as stale as old gingerbread. Full Review
