Black Christmas (2019) - Movie Review

A horror movie should appeal to horror fans, not radical feminists.

[@rainmanslim4611]

Horror movie fans can still be radical feminists. But this movie markets itself as a horror movie, when frankly its just not. Its just not a horror movie. Its a social justice movie pretending to be a horror movie. It lacks subtext.

[@OleanderRainbow]

Honestly, the remake kind of makes me wanna watch the original more. Look, I believe in female empowerment and all that jazz. But can we please not equate female empowerment with misandry? They're not the same thing! Unless you're a radical feminist. And people like that are why I personally don't identify as a feminist. I have nothing against the actual movement itself. The radical misandry is what scares me personally. And despite my Herbert West profile picture. I'm not scared of misandry because I have cahones. I have XX chromosomes. No, I'm scared of misandry because misandry is a form of bigotry. And radical feminists aren't helping anything.

Besides which, the premise of Black Christmas already has a feminist undertone. The problem is that feminism in movies nowadays is (for the most part) handled so much worse than back then.

[@EpictasticJoshua]

@@NebLleb True

[@MamaMOB]

Ben Bell I was just about to point out the subplot about the main girl wanting an abortion and the boyfriend saying no. When the original movie came out Roe v Wade had just happened. That subplot was their way of supporting women’s choice while making a movie people actually wanted to see.

[@gutz1981]

I don't care if this is a "Feminist" message film. Where does saying something is "Feminist based" okay to basically say "We are gonna shit on men and make them out to be all evil." That to me does not make anything okay. Its a nasty film directed at portraying a demographic negatively. If a film today said their agenda was to show all black people as evil and nasty, that film would be banned from release. Its only because feminists play the "victim" all the time, people think they are allowed to say whatever they want. Personally, I don't see how that is at all an acceptable excuse. I'm glad it bombed and I hope another film like this is never made.

The problem isn't the agenda, it's that the people making these crap-heaps focus more on pushing that agenda with strawmen fallacies rather than ACTUALLY CREATING A QUALITY PRODUCT. The result?

If I want a Christmas- themed horror film, I'll stick with 'Krampus.' 1. That is actually a GOOD movie. 2. It's an original concept rather than a remake twisted to push an ultra feminist view. 3. It actually DOES portray women as strong and empowered without getting all over the top and preachy about it. The scene when Aunt Linda goes all "Mama Bear" on the evil toys in the attic with an icicle and an axe was, I'd say, a great example of that; Even though she was clearly terrified of what she was facing, the love she had for her family (Even those she had argued with earlier) gave her the strength and courage to fight off those monsters and save her loved ones. I'd say THAT's pretty inspirational and empowering. Great Aunt Dorothy then shotgunning the evil toys later was pretty cool too.

When you even waste Cary Elwes, that’s a bad sign. And Wesley is very disappointed.

[@Pha5ma]

Agreed Hasn't Dr. Gordon suffered enough?

[@thenemesis1995]

You a legend for that intro bro

[@deanbrewer7971]

Whenever I'm upset I can't just go to your channel and I feel better

[@jdogjohnson9038]

I actually watched the original on KZbin a while back and I really liked it. I have no interest in seeing the remake!

[@reelinwithreed66]

Good to have you back man! Missed your movie reviews the last couple weeks, and started rewatching old ones lol keep it up brother

[@TheOneTrueGhostyBoi]

As he was listing all the strong female protagonists I was sitting their saying Sydney over and over again and when he said it it made me happy

[@Alex-eo6ll]

It's like someone in class try to copy someone's homework in class and they get all the questions wrong. Like come on you had a cheat sheet but yet you still fucked up. Lol

[@erich1595]

I thought the 2006 black xmas payed alot of respect towards the original. I loved that they gave Billy a backstory . Still could've been better but hey at least I got two solid Black Christmas movies

[@SandiFischer]

I wanna see a remake, where maybe something about Jess's baby that she was preggers with at the end of the first movie, I mean she talked about getting an abortion but she didn't in the movie, and if Billy wasn't her boyfriend which we know it wasn't seeing as Billy was talking just before the credits roll and he is in the attic, then I can think of a great sequal which takes place years later where Jess kept her baby and now that child is grown and is attending the same sorority and school and well.......... Something like that anyway, obviously Billy was targeting Jess for a reason which maybe can be explained in my sequal and now maybe he sets his sites on Jess's daughter, I mean idk, I am no writer, but I have been hoping for years for some kind of sequal that answers all our questions from the first one

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

But he is implied to kill Jess in the end.

[@adrianocampo4696]

I want a sequel that takes place a few years after the sorority murders. Since the movie came out in 1974, then the sequel should take place in 1976 or 1977 at the most. A new group of sorority sisters move in to the house and Billy strikes again. But this time we get to know more about the killer's intentions and his past.

[@FilmTrigger]

I feel like the studio will take this bomb as "slasher Christmas films just dont work"

[@MegaPsycho84]

Film Trigger Lol exactly

[@tyshekka]

"Did you just 'not all white men' me?!"

[@dalton3706]

I'm curious if studio heads make them put this "me too" in films or if it's directors, writers or if it's the actors. I'd like to know.

[@Xehanort10]

I don't think any of them actually believe in it. They just stick it in there for publicity, to make more money and as an excuse to call people sexist if the film fails.

[@Xehanort10]

Even the people who get pandered to are sick of being pandered to now. That's how bad it's gotten. Most women are sick of feminists calling men and other women who don't agree with them sexists. There are gay people who want equal treatment and not special treatment and are sick of certain people calling people who won't give them special treatment homophobes. There are probably plenty of black people who hate the more extreme types who see racism everywhere and so on. Like you say political correctness is the new in thing so they're milking that for all its worth. And its weird how the makers of failed feminist films ignore the success of series with female leads that both men and women like just so they can call them sexist for not liking THEIR films and THEIR female characters. In their heads it's easier to convince themselves people who hate their films hate women than admit they made a bad film. Them using the fact their films star women to call people misogynists for disliking the film for reasons that have nothing to do with them starring women is the real sexism.

[@sadekx5251]

Really enjoyed the PG-13 intro 😄

[@RJIS]

Sadek X and the PG-13 remake of an R film

[@williamreynolds3487]

I knew this movie would be shit when the trailer ended with “You messed with the wrong sorority girls” lol Edit: *sisters, not sorority girls. Oops

[@TheSmokingSkull]

Doug Walker literally said, in the Black Christmas Midnight Screening video with Brad Jones, "this is the most sexist sh!t I've ever heard!" Right around the 19 minute mark.

[@tiphanieseantay958]

Welcome back Cody Break deserved. You've been killing it since April. Happy Holidays 🤘

[@CodyLeachYT]

Glad to be back. I was wiped after October

[@TheAlex4905]

That intro was amazing. Keep up the awesome work bro 👍

[@SlasherInSuits]

I’m more let down on the pg stuff then female agenda stuff

[@Blast2224]

Sophia Takal: We don't have strong female characters in horror movies. Me: Laurie Strode, Ripley, Nancy Thompson, Sidney Prescott, Erin (You're Next), Grace Le Domas (Ready or Not), Tree Gelbman (Happy Death Day), Adelaide/Red (US), and *Elizabeth Moss in the INVISIBLE MAN* ???

[@wopjohn]

The downfall of "blandhouse" begins

[@John-pl5nh]

Even after 4 years this is still the best Cody leach review 😂 😂

[@TheFallKingXO]

He did a very good review of Jeepers Creepers Reborn, man tore that film to shreads

[@ToXicB0OtY]

The more you look at the background the more you find

[@KellyT555]

Omg!! Cody has the best intros!! I think this one is my fave!

[@tanishastaton7820]

That intro was everything I love it lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pamelacharlesworth2847]

OMG Cody...I had planned on seeing this movie when I heard it was coming out. When I saw you did a review I had to hear what you had to say. Dude... You were beyond spot on about EVERYTHING regarding this movie. So disappointed on sooo many levels. Oh well LOL Oh btw... the chick who was the "feminist" is in a show from the CW called Two Sentence Horror Stories which is on Netflix. Kinda of a Tales from the Crypt anthology sorta vibe... Thanks for all the reviews... much appreciated

[@Bizzeplayn]

I loved the original "Black Christmas"...and an interesting note, Bob Clark, who was responsible for the movie "A Christmas Story", was also responsible for the original Black Christmas.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

your lyrics are immaculate

[@matthewparker4013]

I have the remake from 2005. I only bought it because of KATIE CASSIDY. I LOVED THE ORIGINAL.

[@RJIS]

matthew parker this is 1000x worse

[@rickw9291]

One of my biggest gripes with the movie was that the “best friend” character just wasn’t a good person and I was really hoping that she’d be a twist villain with the fraternity to explain her behavior. But nah, she’s just a bad person. The first scene with the professor is about him talking about them reading a book by a woman, and the best friends opening scene is her with a petition to get him fired because he has no books by women on his syllabus. It immediately shows how she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and she’s only trying to get him fired cuz he yelled at her for disrupting his class. Then, at the frat house, she forces the main girl to perform with them when she repeatedly says she doesn’t want to and is obviously uncomfortable with it. Then when they’re in the car, she lets the main girl leave. Like, what?! There’s killers on the loose and you’re letting your best friend wander alone defenseless?! She’s so horrible as a person it’s mind boggling how the writers and director didn’t notice

[@Mattodiablo3]

I was planning on seeing this in cinema but after the thumbnail and intro song I'm gonna save my money

[@averagejoe2043]

Great review! We recently covered all 3 on our podcast yesterday. It's nice to see other's perspectives on this film. I personally prefer the original to the remakes. The '74 version I think contained an even balance of psychological horror and gore. The fact that you never see Billy's face, with the exception of his eyes, and only hear his voice and the insanity within it gives more of an unsettling feeling whereas the '06 remake was just more gore and the '19 remake was simply just the filmmakers trying to capitalize on the original whilst promoting an agenda by slapping the name Black Christmas on the film.

[@mattd8700]

Any bets on who gets blamed for its failure.

[@number1connieconversefan]

its Ghostbusters 2016 all over again dear god

[@ilikethecokev2]

I'm thinking Elizabeth Banks is going to get blamed.

[@alexpletcher4365]

The Opening to this Video may be the greatest thing I've ever seen
