Black Christmas (2006)
"This holiday season, the slay ride begins."
Directed by Glen Morgan
Starring: Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg and Mary Elizabeth Winstead
"An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one." (IMDB.com)
Being a fan of horror films, I decided to give this one a try by going to the theater to watch it when it was released on Christmas Day in 2006. What a mistake that was! It's a poorly done remake of the 1974 horror classic Black Christmas. Unlike the original, the remake had unlikeable characters and seemed to rely on gore in order to, hopefully, draw attention away from the ridiculous plot/story. For some, I'm sure it worked, but it didn't with me. My advice? Stick with the original.
