flawed, kind of boring. still fun. watch the original.
I really enjoyed this, and I think it's incredibly underrated. The acting is fine (not great, but fine), the special effects are great and I really enjoyed the campy, over-the-top nature of the deaths and just the film in general. It took me back to the films of the '80s.
Compared to the original this is a piece of SHIT but it does haves good horror,bloody,gory and scary scenes like when the killer rips the eyes of his victims or when the tree with the eyes of the victims appears.But also theres good directing but the horrific acting was so bad except for Andrea Martin,Mary Elizabeth, Winstead Who is the best of them AND DIES WHO WAS REALLY ANNOYING)Crystal Lowe,Michelle Trachtemberg and Lacey Chabert but all the other actors and actresses sucked balls specially katie cassidy who was also really annoying that she survived the film.Thats not just the bad thing,but when you listen the music score of the film you will start laughing or your ears will bleed for such bad music score of the film.Anyway its worth the renting.
I thought that this was an awesome holiday slasher! To me, it's better than the original, mostly because I saw this first, then found out about the original. I love that it takes place on Christmas Eve and the Christmas scenery and killings. I love the killer's back-story and show that he baked Christmas cookies out of his mom's flesh! (SWEET!) I would really love to see BLACK CHRISTMAS 2!!!
I liked this movie. Yes it was quite dumb but it was fun to watch. The deaths were gory, but some could be seen from miles away. It seemed that there were to many characters with the story about billy's family and how he escaped the mental hospital, and someone seemed to be dying every 2 minutes. But it is enjoyable to watch!
for me, i loved the movie. it was so sick and twisted of a slasher which there arent many out there. the only problem was that, at times, it tried to be like scream which pissed me off. for example, it try to make a who-is-the-killer thing goin on. the other thing that i didnt like about the movie wasn't suspenseful enough. u can tell they tried to hard on that department. but other than that i loved it
I really didn't care for this but the redeeming factors for me were the use of color and the direction. Throughout the whole film there was a surrealism created through all those colored lights. The direction also kept up the surrealism. I would have preferred that be where the surrealism ended.
I absolutely hated that they wasted 20 minutes in the beginning with such obvious exposition. As they say in the musical Urinetown, "Nothing can ruin a show more than too much exposition."
I don't want to know who the killer is in the beginning. I don't think I should know initially unless it's a sequel.
It also just seemed rushed. I don't have ADD, I can stand for some story and character development. In this movie each girl got like one line to define her. I don't even think there were many stereotypes to help define them.
This was a great slasher flick. It had tons of gore and the characters were stupid and just got killed one by one. Your typical slaher flick. But for some reason I really liked this movie though. I dont usually see horror movies take place during christmas and I think its cool. There needs to be more movies like that. Silent Night Deadly Night was another example of how they make a horror movie on christmas.
Without a doubt one of the worst films ever made. There is nothing redeemable about this hack-job. Bob Clark's original is so wonderful, only to be spit at by this atrocity. This film's only saving grace is watching one of the most annoying female casts in history take dirt naps, and gives you hope that one day you might be able to write/direct/act a film better than this. I can't recommend this in any capacity. It's not even bad-funny. There are movies out there that make you feel the physical sensation of hate... this is one of them.
I brought this dvd 2day and I enjoyed this movie!! had gore and had tons of actresses i knew about!!! This movie was quick and is terrifyingly realistic. a good movie 2 watch when christmas eve night is 2 quiet.
The trailer made me excited to see this, but it was a huge disappointment. Unlike the original, which is way better, the remake has no suspense or tension. All that happens is the girls go off by themselves one by one, and they die. There isn't any chase scenes or anything. Also, in the uncut version, the girl from Buffy the Vampire Slayer gets her head chopped off because one of the killers throws a pair of ice-skates at her. They also should have left out the female killer who looks like a gorilla. Whenever she appeared on the screen I started cracking up. This movie is terrable, and even funnier to watch than the deer scene in The Ring 2.
