Such a frustrating disappointment

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Seriously, just the idea of a remake of the 1974 horror classic "Black Christmas" was already laughable in itself. I mean, was this remake really needed? The original movie was largely sufficient. But still, I decided to give it a shot, hoping that it would be somewhat entertaining. Except that Glen Morgan gave birth to a terribly bland and boring horror movie, and to a horribly bad remake of "Black Christmas". The acting was mediocre, and each of the actors failed to give a slightly compelling performance. The directing doesn't even try to have some creativity and its weakness does a huge disservice to the murder scenes, which, I have to recognize, benefit from pretty solid gore FX, and they could have been more enjoyable if Glen Morgan's directing wasn't as dull. As for the characters, without any surprise, they're not even slightly interesting and have very little backstory, and the screenplay isn't much better, caring more about giving an unnecessary and unoriginal backstory to its killers, destroying any cloud of mystery that could surround them. So as you guessed, that movie was a bad movie and a terrible remake: if you wanna get really scared, go for the original movie. If you're a gorehound, well, seek another movie, because this movie won't satisfy you.

I feel like lots of people are quick to condemn any remake of a horror classic. Guess what? This does not destroy the original film. If anything, the 2006 version deserves credit for telling a brand new story and going all-out gory instead of being a shot-for-shot clone of the old film. The cast is great, the look of the film is beautiful, and some of the leaps that this story makes are just flat-out bonkers nutso crazy. Honestly, just put the original out of your mind and enjoy. Relax!

I am a big fan of horror films, I've seen all the major big boys and had seen them dozens of times that I knew em by heart. As I expanded my tastes I happened on black Christmas.For a Christmas film it was violent, bloody and had sexual scenes making it a classic for me right away.I hadn't seen the original or knew it existed at the time and thought it was a hack and slash thriller. The lights, decorations and Santa suit all make for an enchanting look that swallows you whole. It really feels like Christmas and gave it much needed atmosphere that will either make or break a horror movie.Characterization was wonderful. At first all the girls are protested as being snobbish yet as it goes on you see hints of their true selves. I even felt pity or outrage for one character named Leigh and her sister Clair. It was very sweet and heart breaking.The death scenes were different from the ones shown in the trailer and yet it was very throughout and I noticed a common theme the killer went for in each dealing with a body part that I won't spoil for you. You'll see a few familiar faces from other genre's up in us on This chilling expedition.My own complaint is Billy's backstory. I read the original script that omitted it completely leaving us shrouded in mystery. The way it should be.Its a fun popcorn flick to share with friends.

If you expect this to be anything like its original film, then you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why. Black Christmas remake here is pretty much straight forward on delivering the blood and hot chicks getting slaughter one by one rather than building up the scare like the original film. However, it has its effort in doing so but still it's just too silly and quite unintentionally funny and laughable in couple of scenes. The GORES here are pretty much satisfying enough even though it looks fake but it's just purely to make it gleefully fun for horror fans. It does borrow some elements from the original version and tries to be SCARY but ultimately fails most of the time. Nonetheless what I really admire this film for is the tone and lighting which really gives a grisly festive mood and makes it quite visually appealing to watch throughout. Overall, this is slasher Christmas-themed film that's gleefully offensive in its content and bloody silly enough to be remembered as another fun, brainless, and cheesy movie suitable for you naughty peeps to watch on Christmas and ruins all the good-spirit of this festival.>>C+<<
