[@apizzathatgiantforthesimpl5191]

She really is. She's brash without being annoying, funny without being overbearing, and you actually get the sense she really cares about her sorority sisters and is just using her humor as a shield to avoid showing how vulnerable she is.

Yeah they mentioned it in the documentary, pretty cool.

[@Kentrc11]

Such a realistic ending. Criminals can get away with crimes & never be caught, even now. Hit-and-runs, rape, robberies, larceny, vandalism, etc. With all of the bubbly whimsy fantasy movies nowadays, movies like this are a wake-up call.

[@LucyLioness100]

I actually read on a few articles that Bob Clark originally had an identity for the killer: Chris, Claire’s boyfriend who would turn up in the final reel to murder Jess

[@aarondavis8943]

I can respect You even more for being owned by a beautiful Siamese cat. My family spent 40 years being owned by Siamese cats. They are awesome to be owned by. My mother had to be one's heater until it was over 90 degree's in the summer. Several of these cats would not leave a lap until July and August. The rest of the year, they needed a lap to keep them warm. You know that Siam is tropical, but Ohio is not. Thus, they were on a lap 20 hours a day. Thanks C. Snob for being owned. I love your reviews too.

[@ryancoulter4797]

[@fantom5894]

From Wikipedia: For the American release, Warner Bros. initially changed the title to Silent Night, Evil Night, worried that the original title would mislead audiences into believing the film was a blaxploitation movie. They retracted the title after the initial release, restoring it to Black Christmas for subsequent screenings.

[@MeAndMeYT]

Pretty much the first movie to use the line about the killer calling within the house. A golden standard of what an eerie and well done horror movie is supposed to be like.

[@mystical5868]

I'm not gonna lie, I'd watch the hell out of a Christmas themed blaxploitation flick.

[@Grandmastergav86]

With Fred Williamson - "Black Cobra Comes To Christmas Town" - a small town is held hostage by a band of Christmas-obsessed terrorists, forced to live in perpetual Yuletide, only Black Cobra can save the day. it would need to be directed by Ruggero Deodato or Lucio Fulci and feature David Hess as the main villain. Ohhhh who's going to cover soundtrack duties? Bruno Nicolai? Riz Ortolani? Stelvio Cipriani? Ennio Morricone? Goblin? Ahhhhhhh too many choices....I've given this way too much thought!

The first time I saw Black Christmas was on Cinemax back in the early 1980's under the title Stranger In The House. Never knew the original title was Black Christmas until the first remake came out. I have a feeling this new one is gong to bomb bigger then the first remake did.

Just saw the new remake's commercial on the boob-tube yesterday (yeah, I'm one of the few millennial's left with a cable box) and in a span of 30 seconds, they spoiled every single act of the movie.

I can't remember the last time a trailer just straight up abridged a movie like that, not even Terminator: Salvation was that bad.

Wait.. there's ANOTHER remake of this movie coming soon? We truly live in the most creatively bankrupt era in movie making history.

[@ShadeMeadows]

And remakes are bad because?...

[@Apanblod]

@@ShadeMeadows I never claimed remakes are bad by default. But the sheer amount of remakes produced in the past decade, combined with current trends in the business, does, in my opinion, contribute to what could be the worst period in movie making so far. It might be too soon to say, but I can't really find any mitigating factors (i. e. good movies).

[@OlEgSaS32]

That honestly has to be the most unsatisfying ending ever, they know the calls are coming from inside the house, but they never send any officers to look in the house? and the killer is clearly stuck in the attic along with claire, or did everyone forget there even is an attic?? or do they all go in one by one and end up dead

[@Teridax-cz4vb]

The ending's a bit of a surprise. The police (and the audience) believe the Peter is the killer, and he's dead, killed in self-defence. The attic was also out of the way, not easily accessed- in their false sense of relief, the real killer goes unnoticed.

[@SukiNoKoe]

Haha Brad, that's a cute onesie. xD Since you reviewed a Killer turkey movie, I think you should review "Attack of the Killer Doughnuts". It looks delightfully stupid.

Second Black Christmas remake was dead the moment the trailer gave away "killer is a cult at the college" One thing for girls to be fighting back but its another for the movie to barley resemble the plot

[@filmfanaticx4212]

The new one feels like it needs to be a "female empowerment film". Look, I'm all for women kicking ass. Ripley from Aliens, Black Widow, Wonder Woman, Lara Croft. But unlike the new Black Christmas remake, those badass women are also fleshed out characters with 3-dimensional personalities. And that's more empowering to women than just being generic asskickers. That's why Black Christmas really doesn't need to be remade as a female empowerment film, as the characters in the original are already smart, funny, emotional characters with fully realized personalities. I remember each character in this movie, unlike in the remake, where I will probably just think they're all the same person...
