As a loving husband and as good a man as I can be with the time that's given to me, it is my responsibility to claim this as the worst movie I've ever seen. I admit to walking about before the climax because of how angered I was at this film.As a loving husband and as good a man as I can be with the time that's given to me, it is my responsibility to claim this as the worst movie I've ever seen. I admit to walking about before the climax because of how angered I was at this film. The claim that all men fit into the rape culture, who hate women, and support an overruling patriarchy is disgusting, and the people behind this filth should be ashamed. This garbage deeply offended me not as a man, but as a person. You want gender equality so bad, stop making one side seem as if they want to watch the world burn alongside one whole gender of people.… Expand

The only thing scary about this feminist horror garbage is how it actually got made in the first place. If it was meant to be about empowering women then it failed to do so it just made the main characters look angry and out to get all menThe only thing scary about this feminist horror garbage is how it actually got made in the first place. If it was meant to be about empowering women then it failed to do so it just made the main characters look angry and out to get all men cos all men are pigs (apart from their gay friend of course). The acting was poor but you could forgive the actresses from struggling with such poor script writing. It was a remake that did not need making and deserves all the poor reviews it is getting.… Expand

When is Hollywood gonna understand...NEVER to hire activists to make a good movie. Literally almost nothing happens in this films... one person dies at the beginning that's the only thing interesting. The rest is just the preachiest movieWhen is Hollywood gonna understand...NEVER to hire activists to make a good movie. Literally almost nothing happens in this films... one person dies at the beginning that's the only thing interesting. The rest is just the preachiest movie ever second to the Last Jedi. It feels like this film was focused on political messaging"Fight the patriarchy" than actually being a genuine good horror flick. The killer element was weak compared to classic horror icons like Jason,Leather etc. Also, making the characters into action hero bad asses that fight back makes the film less scary.This film does the original film injustice...Black Christmas it was a boring movie with bland preachy characters who u would want to see them die, crappy dialogue with some good imagery. A social justice movie mascaraing as a horror movie.
I will repeat myself...stop giving activists a job or otherwise have them focus on story first,character second, politics last!… Expand

If you want a terrible and predictable story that only serves to beat you over the head with gender based identitarian politics, then this is the movie for you. Feminism is the victim/hero.

And its sudden announcement in June was like snow on one’s head. What kind of interest can there be in the cult proto-slasher of 1974? Especially after the notorious 2006s remake, which many still either recall as a nightmare or consider it a comedy because of its torture porn, plot holes, and the ridiculous killer’s backstory? These two Black Christmases would remain a typical tandem of the “80s original / XXI century studio alteration”, but…

The rights to the concept were bought by Blumhouse with director Sophia Takal and screenwriter April Wolfe to lead the newest incarnation. Takal had previously shot some lazy indie thriller about mean female friendship and a full-length episode of the anthology series “Into the Dark” ...also about mean female friendship. And with New Year's entourage. Obviously, everything starts there. These two saw the opportunity to depict all of their modern ideas, only with some snow and toothless scrimers.

Do not hope to find any tribute to the original **** Claudette instead of 1974s cat Claude) and an attempt to strangle one of the villains with polyethylene. Instead, we have a bunch of blank college girls, one of whom, Riley (Imogen Poots), suffers from emotional trauma after being raped by one of the frat bros, who escaped punishment and even dared to return to college. But the girls have worse problems: the tough student Chris (Aleyse Shannon) demands the dismissal of one of the old-school professor for his boomer-ish way of teaching. While Professor Gelson (Cary Elwes) is trolling the suffragists of the 21st century by quoting the well-known anti-feminist Camille Paglia, female students begin to disappear. And if nobody gave a **** about the horribly acting blonde girl from literally every movie’s trailers (Lucy Curry), the further disappearances begin to slowly alarm. The police shrugs and isn’t eager to do anything (by the way, another curtsy to the original), so Riley begins her own investigation.

Takal and Wolfe are as humble as a jackhammer when it’s about the man which are either evil or stupid. An malicious cultist professor with his toxic bloodhound on a chain, annoying boyfriends who can either start a fight out of nothing or stutter while talking to a girl. The authors’ ideas ends so quickly that they even use supernatural power, led by the late founder of the college - a white privileged slaver man of his 1800s, who was sure that women would occupy his stronghold of knowledge one day, and then the males must be able to defend... defend what? Oh, sorry, they never explain it anyway. They just hate women, that’s all, bite it. No Billy, no Agnes, no real freedom from male opinion. Somewhere in 1974, Jess Bradford sighs heavily while firmly announcing to her boyfriend the decision to have an abortion. Turns out that women's rights aren’t about freedom of choice, but about driving away the “white men science” from universities.

Black Christmas doesn't want to be a horror movie. In fact, it doesn’t want to be a film. But it wants to be an essay, which for whatever reason was wrapped in Christmas light. An essay, albeit with a budget of $ 5,000,000, is not capable of being exciting and thrilling. Even in others negative reviews, only Imogen Poots can be praised for the role of the emotionally injured, but strong by her spirit, but she is underestimated by the scriptwriters that did not want to give her character some decent development. Cary Elves wasn’t told this isn’t another “Saw”, and therefore something like “game over” is about to burst from his terribly taut smile. The rest of the cast is the most typical cannon fodder, as one of the girls behaves so cringy while interacting with the intruder as if she wanted to end all of this as soon as possible. It’s also hilarious that there are two sorority houses, and the second one is shown briefly in the midst of their own attack. All for the sake of the final fight, so that there could me more female combat extras.

The film is mostly praised for showing certain socially disturbing topics familiar to many… well, feminists. Campus abuse and rapes were described in the great “The Hunting Ground”, and the pointless gory gender violence was shown in epic “Assassination Nation”. What do we get in “Black Christmas” for millennials? The fear of walking down the street alone at night, the keys compressed in a shaking fist, and the unexplained progressive ladies’ annoyance with the “not all men".

Black Christmas is a boring, bloodless thriller that is radical in its beliefs and incapable of accepting a bit of a different opinion, shot for the fun of snowflakes and all kinds of warriors for the rights of all disenfranchised. Fortunately, this movie ceases to be associated with its predecessors as soon as it changes its name.… Expand

Sold by the commercialization in expectation of an eerie atmosphere and competent, stoic RWBY-esc female characters facing an intimidating or supernatural threat while knowing nothing of the prior films, I went to the theater on Christmas daySold by the commercialization in expectation of an eerie atmosphere and competent, stoic RWBY-esc female characters facing an intimidating or supernatural threat while knowing nothing of the prior films, I went to the theater on Christmas day to see a movie in an empty room joined by two family members and had to wait a half hour for management to realize people actually wanted to view the film. Much to my dismay, I soon came to realize that I had payed for three tickets just to be stereotyped and insulted for 1 hour and 33 minutes by the titular protagonist group of four vitriolic, radical Mu Kappa Epsilon sorority girls Riley Stone, Marty, Kris, and Jesse under the presumption that all white men are sexist, rapist, and racist patriarchal conspirators that seek to oppress woman because of their masculinity. Any character that spoke out and called their perspective into question is immediately labeled and antagonized by the cast and killed in an act of bias without question while forcing their victim propaganda with little context regarding why we should feel the way these characters do, and why we should even care. Any sense of dread and tension gradually dissipates as their agenda ignores rational thought and outright portrays white men as blatantly scheming, bumbling, manipulative, angry stalkers that view woman as nothing more than subservient objects below them. This movie was a disgusting, hypocritically racist, shameful waste of time made by cynical hacks that could only prove their point by killing and subjugating those who have their own opinions. Wasting my time and money as well as putting both my family members and I in a bad mood, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.… Expand

decent acting, literally everything else was terrible

not only were the "scares" predictable they couldnt even make a jump scare work, like how do you mess up that up? and the feminist message whether you align yourself with it or not, wasdecent acting, literally everything else was terrible

not only were the "scares" predictable they couldnt even make a jump scare work, like how do you mess up that up?

and the feminist message whether you align yourself with it or not, was heavy handed, which is putting it lightly. at one point of the film the protagonist group is confronting the arch enemy and they say something along the lines of "youre crazy, unhinged and insane" to which he replies with "no, im just male"
i never made a bigger groan in a cinema before in my life, i just hope the actor was paid enough to cover his lost dignity… Expand
