I think people should watch both movies because they’re still so completely different from each other and both enjoyable to watch for different reasons.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Katie Cassidy, Lacey Chabert, Michelle Trachtenberg, it's honestly pretty crazy just how many big names were in this movie.
The cast was stacked with hotties.
The Cast full of Hot Babes for sure 🤤🥵
💯 agree all 4 of those are smoke shows
Best of the mid 2000s hotties
This movie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. The original is a masterpiece and is still creepy to this day. This 2006 version is certainly not a masterpiece but it is still a lot of fun. Brutal, twisted, and has a good cast.
The only good thing Black Christmas 2019 did was it helped people look back more fondly on Black Christmas 2006. Even if you still don't like that movie, you can't say it's the worst Black Christmas remake, lol.
@@daveydawn7074 Yeah, this one is pretty fun. I do miss the more hardcore slasher movies from this era.
Born in early 90's huge horror fan watching some darker films early on in age I always liked the Black X-Mas remake just rewatched with my gf last week
It’s like Halloween. First it’s bad. Then “NOT that bad.” Then “Not THAT bad, actually”. Takes a decade or two.
I love this version. I don’t know why people are so hard on it. I just watched it yesterday. It was great!
The Original Black Christmas From 1974 Still Holds A Place In My Heart. I Found This Remake On TUBI Recently And I Might Check It Out.
I love this movie, I think it’s highly underrated
Remember when Harvey Weinstein demanded a bunch of re-edits and reshoots to the movie? Including filming scenes just for the trailer that were never intended to be in the final product?
Yeah so much cool shit in the original TV spots and trailer. Michelle Trachtenberg with the shotgun merry Christmas mother f**ker!
Those kills could be in the European cut of the movie, I've not directly compared the kills but the Euro one has a different ending. There are 3 cuts, the US theatrical, Unrated & European cut. I have the Unrated & Euro.
Though Billy having the ability to crawl on the ceiling made no sense haha
@Blast2224 dude exactly that would've been nice to know 😆 however I wouldn't mind seeing it 😅
Pepperidge farm remembers..
This is a good movie, it has it’s positives and negatives, not as good as the original was, but still it has earned a place in my yearly Christmas horror watch list (watched it about a week ago).
Same, I watched it yearly
i watched it yesterday lol, like it alot
I saw this Christmas Day and loved it. Had a fun time. And I love the original too.
i actually really love this remake
My favourite Christmas horror is now Anna and the Apocalypse.
Big fan of this movie - watch it every Christmas.
This is unironically my favorite Christmas movie and I watch it every year.
It’s absolute trash and I love it. It’s like what happens if you cross Jerry Springer with the slasher genre.
Absolutely love BC06 ❤ been watching every single year with the fam since seeing it in the theaters on Xmas in 06. So glad this film is getting its flowers
Enjoyed your commentary, Adam 🎅🎄🎁🦌❄☃
I actually had no idea it was a remake when it came out. I loved it because they just didn't make campy, over the top slashers like that anymore at the time. Having watched the original after, I probably would have hated it when it came out since I think the original is one of, if not the best slasher movie ever, and is easily in my top 3. I still love the 2006 remake for what it is and it's always an entertaining watch.
I love this movie. It’s not a masterpiece or cult classic but it’s a pretty fun watch. I watch it every Christmas 🎄
Awesome video, thanks for sharing 😊
I really enjoyed the remake 😀🤩🎄 ...and am a fan of the original of course 😉
this movie is chef kiss slasher, lot of funny one liners and lot of intense scenes with a beautidul cinematography! Never saw a more christmas themed movie than this movie! I mean it….the lights,the soundtrack everything is SO GOOD
They reshot a lot of this movie. The original trailer has a ton of scenes that didn't end up in the final cut of the film.
And it’s all because of Harvey fricken Weinstein.
Apparently the Weinstiens commissioned new footage especially for the trailer, much to the annoyance of the film's cast and crew.
@@Formakiwi interesting.
All you had to say was Mary Elizabeth Winstead
It’s a million x better than that 2019 one which it in name only ..
Fan of your series looking back and giving some light to overlooked horror movies. One thing though, how could the Paranormal Activity series be on the downturn in 2006 when the movie didn’t release until 2009?
I just watched this movie for the first time recently along with the original. And maybe I’m a gore hound but I prefer the 2006 version 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
The 2006 one is my favorite, like the latest one was twisted but YOU try getting the frat house song out of YOUR head
Love the thumbnail. Lacey = Hallmark hottie
This was a rare case were I was actually up for a modern take on a brutal classic horror film. This films director put his entire career and marriage on the line to do the remake and he really swung for the fences while trying to throw in some surprises on the plot. I wasn't quite as happy with the back story part of the killer and his family history that they filled in on and it sort of got mashed together and odd the last quarter of the film after some good tribute kill scenes earlier on. I certainly lacked the suspense as the poster mentioned which left me wanting to watch the original again.
This is my favorite Lacey Chabert Christmas movie. Just the right of 2000s gory goodness will the cool cast.
Those are some jingle bells
I'll take this remake over the 2019 "version."
Lacey Chabert is amazing
bigger question is why this black christmas was hasn't been released on blu ray.
I love this one
My only gripe with this movie was Agnes. The movie *tried* to be twisty and different while creating a totally uneventful reveal and unnecessary plot hole. Why would Agnes assist in killing people? She was a sweet child, despite being inbred. She knew Billy was her relative AND she viewed him as a father which makes her forgiving him for literally disfiguring her into homelessness inconceivable. She’s built like the HULK and yet was no larger than Matilda size before Billy attacked her. And she somehow enjoys eating eyes like Billy, despite showing no appetite prior. Billy meanwhile resented his mother, thus eating her made sense. It wanted to have a Jason sized enemy but could only manage a teenager sized man for Billy, and shoved Ages as that.
Lol hold on, how did Paranormal Activity get on the downturn when it wasn't even released until 2009? Lol what a weird and unnecessary bit of false contextualization
The original Black Christmas was a pleasant surprise as I only discovered it a few years before the remake came out. While I love Halloween, Black Christmas is sooo creepy and scary with a great cast. I especially love that it takes place during Christmas. While the remake is inferior to the original, it has it charms. It gets the setting right again and I love the cast. The acting of the mom, Billy, and Agnes is too cartoonish and campy which lets the film down. Had they cast better actors for those parts, I think the movie would have faired better.
silent night ,bloody night . 1972
Haven't seen the remake, but I'm just curious. Did the police in this one just leave the survivor and dead bodies in the dorm and take off? 😮😮
Ironically I just finish watching 06 for the 1st time it's DEFINITELY NOT BAD. 6.5/10
I liked the original one very much. Especially the location and how it was shot. By location I don't just mean the view but I mean representing the location in the storyline. As in a fictional place. I'm sorry if I'm confusing you guys, I just don't know how to explain what I mean 😅😅
B-Movie masterpiece
It’s not great but it’s a fun B Christmas horror movie I just wish Mary Elizabeth Winstead survived and they went with the alternate ending where Kelli gets a call from Kyle’s phone leaving it ambiguous
there is a sequel to the original blk christmas, right here on youtube. "its me billy"....., i highly, recommend it. the 06, was closer, to the original material. the only things cannon to blumhouse's is, it takes place on a campus around the holidays and a sorority is involved.
Literally rewatched this and this is a F’d up film
This is by far 10x better than the 2019 shtty woke sht version
I like it though some of the back story should have been removed!
Hang about, the first Paranormal Activity was only made in 2006, and didn't get a wide release until 2009, so it was hardly "on the downturn" in 2006. 🧐
That whole section was confusing. Saw was also at its peak at that time
I was thinking the same exact thing. A good video, but it got some pretty major facts about the time period wrong.
I am a HUGE fan of the Original Black Christmas and I remember being absolutely delighted when I saw the first trailers for the 2005/6 remake. I loved the original and I think Christmas has a naturally eerie aesthetic that is not used enough in horror films. I saw this remake or reboot on opening night and I was not kind to it at all. I felt the characters were very shallow and underwhelming. The original film was able to accomplish more with mostly three sorority sisters than this one was capable of doing with close to ten! I hated the truly unnecessary and ridiculously convoluted backstory devoted to Billy and Agnes, especially the need to make him yellow skinned bc of jaundice!? The ending was not great and I kinda added it to my collection but didn’t rewatch it for several years. Then I decided to watch it as its own story and I didn’t hate it quite as much. The Billy stuff still drags the movie but the action is really fun and the film is saturated in Christmas colors and has some unique shots in the film. Then I watched the alternate ending on the DVD and made it my head cannon as my personal choice for the ending of the movie vs the tacked on hospital attack In the theatrical version. I also read about the behind the scenes changes to the story and script that made me realize that we could have had a better film if the studio and others had just stuck to the original story. If I recall correctly, Billy was still in the original script but Agnes was not originally planned to be played by a man in drag who was a random additional killer. Agnes was going to be a pretty sorority girl who was a sister to the others and was working with Billy to kill the others. I believe the character of Eve Agnew was the reworked dowdy version of the Agnes originally meant to be in the movie. I don’t believe the cast is the problem with this movie. There characters may not be super fleshed out but they are distinct enough to be fun. The actresses were all famous horror starlets from the time and kills were brutal. Clair, Eve, and Megan didn’t get an acknowledgment in this recap and were the least developed. Kelli’s boyfriend Kyle was as unnecessary as his subplot with Megan bc of how quickly they removed her from the story. Leigh was a fun addition but Clair was a staple from the original and she’s barely a part of the film.
The movie is a fun ride if you don’t take it seriously or compare it to the original. I choose to stop watching when the movie leaves the sorority house, but to each their own there. I watched it the other night just for fun and I never thought I would be able to do that when I saw it on opening night. It’s not PcC like the Jordan Peele version from 2021 I think, but it’s definitely different and is the definition of a holiday slasher film.
NARRATOR FOR GOT ABOUT GREMLINS MOVIES BEST-EST CHRISTMAS MOVE EVER! YAH BLOODY SOD!
What do you mean what the fuck do you mean he’s with me he’s with me he’s with me
I want the old narrator back
It was good 👍
I've always felt the original is very overrated, but really enjoyed this version. I find it more of a dark comedy overall, and the completely over-the-top gore, especially in the unrated version, is nauseatingly funny. There are some witty moments throughout and I still enjoy a viewing every year or two. I also really enjoyed Glen Morgan's remake of Willard, so after this one also bombed and he basically went back into TV work, I was disappointed that his obvious wit and personality wouldn't be bringing any further feature films to cinema screen. Stupid world much rather watch the same story retreaded in the infinitely bland Marvel universe.
how come black christmas 2019 didn't make it.
which one?
@@shvtdown the remake make that was made in 2019
@@mightybitchy in the way that it was re-remade in the first place
Dagnabit, keep this guy out of the peanut butter!
Geordie?
Arguably the HOTTEST cast in horror history.....just saying.
The 2000s weren't the best decade for horror, IMO.
Lacey Chabert was sexy. That's all I have to say about this film
I much prefer the tension and slow build to the 1974 original. 2006 is the "Hollywood-ed" version where the studio's main goal was to just throw a collection of young hot actresses into a sub-par script that piggy-back's off someone else's great idea and have them get slaughtered. An obvious lazy cash grab by the studio, but it didn't stop me from paying to see it in theaters when it came out. It's fine for what it is, but is soulless compared to the original
Also, the remake tries to be as shocking as possible. Not just in the gore department which was popular at the time, but stuff like the incest backstory and all the unapologetically casual cannibalism.
@@troin3925 i agree, it was really silly
This movie is so bad but it's so fetch
Well they had the recipe for a fun holiday slasher movie, but they added incest and cannibalism to make sure noone enjoyed watching it.. thats what happened
I actually like this better than the remake 🤷. And did you say paranormal activity came out in 2006 bc it didn't...🤦 This channel sometimes 😤
Torture porn is the dumbest phrase used in horror, its irrelevant, and makes no damn sense.
If the movie took awaay the incest and random sex video thing the movie would have been alot better. Movie was still pretty good
I own both the original Black Christmas and the 2006 remake, and I'll always pull the '06 version off the self to watch. I admire the original for what it did for the genre, but have thought it was just OK. The '06 version I love. Now, the later second remake from 2019...we won't discuss that massively awful movie...
Gremlins is a better Christmas movie than die hard
This Remake was pointless, absolutely pointless, why remake any horror movie if you are not gonna truly honor the Original. Silent Night (2012) wasn't like the Original Silent Night Deadly Night, but it was a good remake. The 2006 Black Christmas us a mess of a remake, I mean come on Billy being Gondis Orange was pathetic. The character of Billy in the Original was a mystery, in the remake he just looks stupid, I hate Black Christmas (2006).
When I saw this in the theater with my then girlfriend, we were only ones in the theater and the usher asked us "Are you SURE you want to see this?" But I was ready for some trash.
