To say Black Christmas is delicate with its concept would be a fib. This is a movie where there is no subtext whatsoever.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 20, 2023

Smartly, Takal doesn’t always do away with the most obviously “expendable” characters...

| Jun 5, 2023

Quite possibly the most offensive remake in the past decade. Any attempts at story or entertainment are sidelined aggressively for the movie's inept preaching of it's blatant and mind-numbing message. 90 minutes of an angry protestor screaming in your ear

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Those jealously devoted to the original may not appreciate Takal's new vision and how it telegraphs its themes, but she follows in the tradition of horror remakes that completely rethink their predecessors.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 22, 2022

While it drags at times in its pace, lacks gore that would attract the classic horror buff, and is too in your face with its messaging, it still finds strength in the women it is committed in depicting.

While I didn't hate or even strongly dislike the film, I felt it was a little weak tea. As both a feminist movie and a horror movie, it tries too hard (or maybe not hard enough) to be both.

| Aug 5, 2021

Sophia Takal's take on Black Christmas, based on the 1974 Bob Clark slasher, is probably the most "woke" film I have ever seen. This isn't necessarily bad, but its execution leaves a lot to be desired.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 5, 2021

While I didn't cheer at every moment, or buy into every pandering feminist anthem slapped into each scene, I had a great time, and I sense the divide to be suggestive of pending cult status.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 24, 2021

A failed remake, where the feminist plot prevents the one related to the slasher from flowing. Too many pretensions that end up leaving the fun of this genre on the way.

| Original Score: 4 /10 | Jan 3, 2021

You can see the effects of the rushed production unfolding on screen one scene at a time.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 30, 2020

Could be scarier, it could be funnier, and it really shoots itself in the foot with that cornball finale.

I know how hard people work on films... [but] Lord it went downhill real fast.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 14, 2020

Blumhouse has finally realised that female filmmakers exist, and that's a good thing for everyone.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

For me, Black Christmas worked a treat. It was a joy to watch, even with its flaws (the poor sound design and lack of an impactful score in particular).

| May 4, 2020

The film is an exquisite feast for the mind, it's not so much for the action or jump scares. Whatever you think about Black Christmas, you cannot deny its importance.

| May 4, 2020

It means it ends up feeling like Sucker Punch without the dodgy visuals, or Cry Wolf sans the preppy uniforms and charismatic cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 1, 2020

The entire finished product feels like it was just rushed out into theaters as quick as possible.

| Original Score: F | Mar 26, 2020

There's nothing clever about Black Christmas, and with an anemic PG-13 rating, even the horror parts do nothing to make anyone's dreams of a black Christmas come true.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2020

The choice to go PG-13 on the gore and thrill level for this reboot makes it feel more like a 온라인카지노추천 movie than a feature film. Still, it was probably the right choice for the intended audience.

| Feb 22, 2020

Wrong-headed is an understatement in this new approach to the material and we are taken for a third act ride that is equal parts baffling and preposterous.

| Original Score: 4 | Feb 9, 2020
