Black Christmas Reviews

In its attempts to build a franchise and legacy, Black Christmas stabs itself in the eye. Blind from any sort of craft or talent, every piece of the film fails in an overly exploitive and off-putting experience that is impossible to justify watching.

| Original Score: D- | Aug 28, 2022

It just became a game of Let's See Which One Will Get Her Eyeballs Plucked Out Next, and not much more

| Jul 2, 2021

The editing is horrendous. The tone is all over the place. The gore is over-the-top. It's a trashy mess. And yet, it's still dumb fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020

Certainly gory enough for fans of schlock horror.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 3, 2020

A rather useless remake. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5 | Jul 17, 2019

A colossal mess, which is not at all as dispiriting as those remakes of classic horror which are just empty, shallow exercises in genre mechanics.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 17, 2011

All setup and no payoff makes this a dull film.

| Original Score: 0.0/4.0 | Oct 17, 2007

It isn’t a slasher film, a horror movie, or a comedy. It’s barely even a movie.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Jul 11, 2007

Black Christmas works best as a campy deconstruction of the genre than it does as a horror film.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2007

Shockingly awful in every way imaginable...

| Original Score: .5/4 | May 2, 2007

The fans will dig the brief-yet-nasty FX work, but they'll have to slog through a pretty tiresome movie just to get their hands on those nuggets.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2007

[I]t's just another witless trip to the slaughterhouse.

| Original Score: C | Apr 12, 2007

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Mar 3, 2007

| Original Score: C | Jan 20, 2007

Morgan is never satisfied with a straightforward camera setup or with a simple asphyxiation -- not when he can shoot from a disorienting diagonal and give you an asphyxiation, eye-gouging, neck-breaking, and impalement all at once.

| Jan 16, 2007

It's hard to get worked up over the fate of characters whose identities remain largely a matter of conjecture.

Glen Morgan's update of Bob Clark's 1974 slasher flick Black Christmas is an exemplar of how to screw up a modern horror film remake.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 5, 2007
