Was kind of ok but wtf have they an eye fetish....

First time watching this remake and I genuinely enjoyed it. Of course it’s nowhere as good as the original, but as far as remakes go it's decent enough and I like the direction this goes. It's a fun festive horror that offers all the gory fun that you would come to expect from a slasher with so much style and atmosphere. My only complaints are that the girls could have had a bit more personality because I still can't tell who is who. Overall this is a great remake.

Talk about f***ing up a classic, Black Christmas is a disgrace that’s unfit to bear the name. In this reboot the residents of a sorority house, which has a bloody history, are killed off one by one during a severe snow storm. There’s no real mystery or intrigue to the plot, just senseless violence and killing. And while the cast is first rate (Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lacey Chabert), they’re completely wasted playing bland, stereotypical characters. Additionally, the violence is extremely gruesome and lacks any subtlety. Sadistic garbage, Black Christmas is an ugly and vulgar film.

"Black Christmas" from 2006 feels a bit like someone wanted to do a remake of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" but was forced to settle for 1974's "Black Christmas." The story does have a few similarities to the original, but tonally, this is more akin to a generic holiday slasher and not the kind of "elevated horror" that I think the first movie represents. There's certainly no mystery set up here; instead, the backstory of the bloody sorority house is explored in every boring detail. Furthermore, none of the actresses here can match the charm of Olivia Hussey or Margot Kidder in the original. With Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, there are a few more or less well-known names in the cast, but nobody is good here. Of course, it doesn't help that most of the characters don't act in a comprehensible way. A few of the kills, which at least offer a bit of gore from time to time, are the closest to being impressive. They also ensure that the movie is still barely worth seeing for slasher fans.

You know, this wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be. I mean, after the 2019 remake, this looks like a masterpiece in comparison.
