okay so if you haven't seen the original 'Black Christmas' made in 1974, which is also one of the greatest and cleverest horror films of all time, then please go rent it and watch it before u lay your eyes on this obviously disgustingly horrible remake. I'm sorry to the makers of this film if I offended you but come on! The original Black Christmas was awesome! Till this day it stands as one of my favourite horror films and always will be, it's funny, it's realistic and scares the bejeezes outta ya! k now to list some things here that really bothered me bout this movie and I'm sure if u see it it'll bother u too: k for one the main character Cassidy whatever is the biggest fake and certainly insults Jessica Bradford's amazing performance in the original. She was real as could be, was believable and totally kicked ass in the conclusion. All this Kassidy girl does is strut around looking like she's got a stick up her butt the whole time, I mean come on it's Christmas..Smile, and other than that the only way she got this job is due to another cruddy remake 'When a stranger calls' in which we actually get to see her get it from the stalker guy. I mean jeez. k number two all character's act the same, talk the same, wear the same clothes I mean for the longest time I felt like I was on a Covergirl commercial. Stand still, look pretty and don't forget to scream when that dude comes after u OK. OK. The characters that I felt did the best job out of em all was Michelle Trachtenberg and Lacey Chabert who have both done amazing works previously before this one went rotten. In the original the eye peeking through the door scene is a classic screamer I mean when I first saw the original it scared me so much, I mean every time I look at a door now I think of it, but anyways in the remake it is way overused! I mean the point of the eye in the original was that u were'nt expecting it, it was brilliant and scary as hell. In the remake it's like okay we're gonna being seeing the eye again for the fifth time. The thing that really made Black Christmas what it was and earned it's name as a classic was that u never fully saw or knew who or what this guy was OR what he looked like, I mean was he deformed? who knows and u know whats good bout that I still donno, and that keeps tha creepiness. In the remake u know where this guy lives, what the heck he looks like, what he does, how he lived in the attic and ate his mom I mean thats just sickening! yea he makes cookies out of his mom's skin. The killer is not supposed to be cannabilistic for goodness sakes! and another thing there is two killers! yea two. In the original too the whole time this guy is killing people nobody knows about it until the creepy conclusion when there is only one person left, in the remake they all find out and team up and are all like "okay girls we gotta stick together", I think if i knew the whole time that there was some sick guy in the house, I would get out and call the police from a house far away. The last thing in the remake that really bothered me was the original "get out of the house, the call is coming from inside the house"(which has been ripped off quite a few times from the original in previous movies, not mentioning), it worked in the original because we didn't have complicated technology back then as we do today, we have a little thing called cellphones and star six nine, if a creepy guy is calling your phone and ur getting all flustered today *69 em. Anyways I'm done. but believe me see the original it is one of the greatest horror films you will ever see if ur a horror fan like me, don't waste ur time on this one.
