Watch Black Christmas For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I feel like lots of people are quick to condemn any remake of a horror classic. Guess what? This does not destroy the original film. If anything, the 2006 version deserves credit for telling a brand new story and going all-out gory instead of being a shot-for-shot clone of the old film. The cast is great, the look of the film is beautiful, and some of the leaps that this story makes are just flat-out bonkers nutso crazy. Honestly, just put the original out of your mind and enjoy. Relax!

I watched the original film for the first time not too long ago and really enjoyed it. I saw the 2006 installment right when it came out but couldn't really remember it. I'm very into horror films though so I decided it was time for a rewatch to see if this could be more enjoyable the second time around. I do like horror movies revolving around a holiday, it doesn't happen that often but it really should.This film is a loose remake of the original, that takes place in a sorority house. The film follows a group of girls who are being hunted down by a yellow skinned killer named Billy Lenz. He is a murdered who broke out of prison and is looking for his sister at the same house the girls currently inhabit. The film becomes a slasher film where the body count increases while the blood is splattered everywhere.The film is very violent. Eyes get gauged out, heads get pierced, multiple stabbing occurs, heads roll, its all very bloody. Its not very holiday friendly but who the hell cares. If you are squeamish during these types of films, this won't be for you. The story isn't really exactly strong, there aren't any really scary moments, nor is the end something groundbreaking or unpredictable. The film follows conventional horror tropes and norms when you really get past the ultra violent nature.Overall, its a throwaway film and not really anything you'll be visiting during Christmas or Halloween for that matter. The film does offer a nice cast of pretty ladies (loving me some Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and good violence. Its predictable and generic but you get some bloody fun out of it, which is the intention of this film. No need to compare to the original, let it stand on its own.6/10

I am a big fan of horror films, I've seen all the major big boys and had seen them dozens of times that I knew em by heart. As I expanded my tastes I happened on black Christmas.For a Christmas film it was violent, bloody and had sexual scenes making it a classic for me right away.I hadn't seen the original or knew it existed at the time and thought it was a hack and slash thriller. The lights, decorations and Santa suit all make for an enchanting look that swallows you whole. It really feels like Christmas and gave it much needed atmosphere that will either make or break a horror movie.Characterization was wonderful. At first all the girls are protested as being snobbish yet as it goes on you see hints of their true selves. I even felt pity or outrage for one character named Leigh and her sister Clair. It was very sweet and heart breaking.The death scenes were different from the ones shown in the trailer and yet it was very throughout and I noticed a common theme the killer went for in each dealing with a body part that I won't spoil for you. You'll see a few familiar faces from other genre's up in us on This chilling expedition.My own complaint is Billy's backstory. I read the original script that omitted it completely leaving us shrouded in mystery. The way it should be.Its a fun popcorn flick to share with friends.

Some actress who didn't even deserve any lines gets whacked in her room at her sorority house. Meanwhile, the jaundiced lunatic who used to live in said house escapes the loony bin because people who work in those places were educated at community colleges instead of real schools.Back at the house, the girl who plays NOT-Tina Gray from the Nightmare on Elm Street remake and her douchey-looking boyfriend talk about things no one cares about before NotTina heads inside. Throughout the exposition we're introduced to Dana, played by Gretchen Wiener, the house-biotch Lauren, Megan(holy crap, this is a sorority girl? she looks 40!), Heather, played by Wendy from Final Destination 3(I guess she had what she gets in this film coming then, huh), some weirdo Eve, Harriet-the-Spy, and house mother Ms. Mac, whom I'm going to refer to as Aunt Voula from because Phyllis already died in the original. And this film has nothing if not continuity. Megan, the 40-year-old, gets interrupted by watching porn of herself(probably checking which part of her body needs to be surgically-enhanced next) and goes to investigate the attic where she discovers victim number 1 from the opening scene, and also gets whacked. I should probably make note that the killer's preferred method of murdering these trashy chicks is to be a trash bag over their head and gouge/stab out their eye/s. I'd make a joke about putting trash-in-trash bag, but I think it speaks for itself.Downstairs, our Sorority Sisters start receiving phone calls from Billy the Killer harassing them and getting all "F*** Santa." No one cares.Oh and then Miss Lewton from Final Destination shows up looking for the mute who has been murdered, claiming to be her sister. Dana thinks Miss Lewton's coat is SO. FETCH. But that's not til after we're treated to flashbacks shot by someone inspired by Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton who just happens to lack the talent. I'm not talking about the flashbacks after this because this film could've done without. Honestly, I had enough to laugh at already.NotTina's skeezy boyfriend shows up at some point and NotTina discovers the house slut's sex tape was with the bastard. Apparently it's bad enough that he had sex with anyone before they got together, but in an age of Paris Hiltons and Kim Karsluttians, he filmed it for funsies and it leaked. NotTina is starting to come across as a frigid hypocrite. I hope she dies. Heather investigates Eve's room after she supposedly leaves and instead of death getting her by dropping a damn shelf on her head or something, she discovers damning evidence in her closet. It was at this point that I asked my boyfriend "Why didn't she turn on a light?" And he told me the power went out. I was probably checking Instagram while that happened and didn't notice. Anywho, Harriet-the-Spy has been taking care of the house bitch Lauren as she becomes the house drunk Lauren and tells her to hop in the shower so the straight males of the audience can see some side-boob as Billy spies through a hole. House Bitch/Drunk Lauren goes to bed. I really wish Harriet-the-Spy was our main character. It would've been much better than NotTina and her ice-cold vagina anyway.Then the body count starts mounting fairly quickly. Dana was trying to make Snark happen while she investigated strange noises underneath the house and Billy decides to take Regina's cattiness to the next level and gets her in the head with a gardening tool. Another threatening phone call sends the girls outside to check on Dana where they instead discover Eve decapitated in her car.After some of the most successful calls for help in a slasher film, Aunt Voula and Heather/Wendy bitch their way out through the storm to the car. While Aunt Voula is scraping ice off the windshield, Heather/Wendy finally dies after surviving Final Destination 3. You might think Billy killed her, but I like to pretend a frozen pipe inside the car cracked and the anti-freeze caused a reaction that propelled the vent to shoot out of the fan and lodge itself in Heather/Wendy's carotid artery. Aunt Voula backs her stupid self into a garage door and gets impaled with an icicle. That's cute.Harriet-the-Spy forgets the sleuthing skills she has in the mid-90s and nearly gets garbage bagged by Billy. She does manage to get away, but when she decides she should just whack him with a ski pole a few times instead of STABBING HIM WITH THE SHARP END, it becomes clear that however awesome she is, she's not going to survive. And thus our favorite character gets an ice skate to the back of the head.Sleeping house bitch/drunk then gets molested and stabbed in the eyes.So we're left with NotTina and Miss Lewton running into the douche- boyfriend and make their way to the attic where Agnes, Billy's sister-daughter, kills the boyfriend while the other 2 discover all of the corpses..Miss Lewton falls through a hole in the floor while NotTina gets pulled in between the walls. Miss Lewton finds NotTina and pulls her through the wall before setting fire to Agnes and Billy. Anyway.At the hospital, Miss Lewton opens the mute's present, the ugliest effing watch I've ever seen, before a nurse comes to inform NotTina that the doctor's want to run another X-Ray now. What? NotTina slid between walls. Miss Lewton's the one who fell a WHOLE FLOOR AND GOT KNOCKED OUT. The people working at this hospital must've gone to the same community college as the people who work at the loony bin.Billy and Agnes then come snap Miss Lewton's neck. NotTina returns, electrocutes Agnes, and then is chased down the hospital halls by Billy before getting him impaled on a tree. Fabulous.5 stars out of 10.MERRY Christmas!
