- We now have a third iteration of the holiday horror film Black Christmas. This time fueled with a female empowerment direction and a glossy PG-13 rating, does this new take on the classic slasher have merit in today's climate?

Just proves that men and women are equally capable of making bad films.
Yes, thank you!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Too true, too true.
John Something Pretty well said. I just wonder how these new feminists are raising their own sons.
what a win for feminism
Now that’s real equality LOL
"We need a horror movie with a stong female character!"
"The horror genre already does that."
"We're gonna pretend you didn't say that and do it anyway."
Female characters keep the horror/slasher genre alive and well! I really don’t understand why people think it’s necessary to “girl power” every damn thing they touch.
Feminists think any female character not created by them is supposedly "too masculine" even if they're a great character who acts as feminine as you can get.
Big Lou, yes!
That's a perfect summation of their mindset.
This movie in a nutshell
@@Xehanort10 as a feminist i can tell u that's definitely not the case. If feminists liked this shit it would've done well like Captain marvel or wonder woman, but feminists just like everyone else can tell when something is bad. We aren't morons or villains, we are just ya know people.
1974: Billy’s in the house
2006: Agnes and Billy come home for Christmas
2019: Where’s Billy?
Maybe they killed him?
Maybe Billy's been hanging out on Tinder? IDK.
Now I’m imagining a tinder profile picture with a eyeball or a yellow face
You're welcome for that mental image.
Probably with "Agnes it's me Billy" somewhere on the profile.
2019, Billy has become Billie!
People just want good stories and good characters, Hollywood. It's not that complicated.
They don't care what you want.
@@joahnaut they just care about money
This movie was amazing
Right. They just want interesting, entertaining characters no matter their gender, race, sexuality or whatever. Not characters whose minority is their entire character.
@@grandelopezx5727 hhhhhhhhh nice joke
The very first frame of the movie is “Men Suck” 😂😂
suny123boy1 more or less. Lmao.
No way really?
XXDoubleHHXX lol yeah
Does this movie have any self-awareness at all?
NotSpider-Man 777 no, it thinks it getting a message across and it fails
"Silent Night: Girly Night"
Am i the only one who just laughed at his joke?
XxMrAfterLifexX 2 I laughed. Considering how well it fits lmao
Im glad it was funny it just came out haha
you are not the only one.
@@dabearslive9605 I died laughing.
That would have been a better title than Black Christmas for this one in particular.
so its basically a horror version of charlies angels remake?
That one was a sequel.
ROFL
Gregory House to what? Certainly not any of the previously made media.
This movie made about 2 million less than Charlie's Angels...lol
@@MamaMOB Yes, it was a sequel to the movies.
That intro song - A+
I also guess this is the worst film this year
Gaige Ride sure sounds like it 😬
@@inceptionboi6503 The Fanatic seems worse, but not by a lot.
Gaige Ride honestly, Countdown was the one that was my least favorite
Hi
This movie looks like it was written by a women’s studies professor
Lisa Simpson wrote this film.
Student
A male women’s study student that wears shirts that say
“I’m a feminist.”
Probably one who is a self-loathing white man lol
You’ll Float Too it plays like that too. A very long and boring womyns studies lecture on illuminating men.
I gotta give props to the filmmakers. The ladies throwing the "nice guys" under the bus while dealing with the villains is shockingly honest for a modern movie.
LMFAO!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Being one of those nice guys myself, I know all about being thrown under the bus, lol.
Dan Tastic yeah pretty much
What type of nice guy are we talking? Actual nice guys or creeps who say that their nice guys? Either way it’s accurate.
@@brandonpage7087 so you're the "nice guy" and not a nice guy
P.s. no black Christmas sequal should be PG 13, it should be R rated and just go for it
The directress said they made it PG13 'to get young women into horror'.
Gregory House the studio should have hired the twisted twins AKA Jen and Sylvia Soska to direct this. look @ "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" their first great film
Maybe the dvd will add in more R rated scenes?
Being R rated wouldn't make the film any good though, I'd still be feminist propaganda.
Directors cut release? 🤞🏻
Cuts away from kills and seeing after the kill and cuts away from swearing?
Weak incarnate.
*Ding* that was Cinema Sins agreeing with you
No slasher should be pg-13
A horror movie should appeal to horror fans, not radical feminists.
Horror movie fans can still be radical feminists.
But this movie markets itself as a horror movie, when frankly its just not. Its just not a horror movie. Its a social justice movie pretending to be a horror movie.
It lacks subtext. Shit, old friend of mine has become something of a radfem in the last year or so, she went to see it cos she wanted to see a horror movie with a feminist message. She texted me after and said it was shit.
Sometimes a shit movie is just another shit movie
A good movie can do both.
@De Kree as a member of multiple radical subgroups I gotta disagree my guy
@De Kree How are radical groups exclusionary, the more the merrier my guy. Maybe I just don't see being gay and a feminist as super radical tho either.
@De Kree Wtf are you talking about then, where can I find some radical feminists to chill with, they sound neat.
Trailer was bad enough to skip this movie
That was more like the whole film marketed as a trailer for it.
I was excited based on trailer... Good thing I waited for reviews!!
the trailer spoiled the entire movie lmao
I will give them credit, this wasn't an ambush, if you didn't know what you were getting into from the ad that's on you.
You should really get gender studies credits
for watching this misandrist lecture.
Honestly, the remake kind of makes me wanna watch the original more.
Look, I believe in female empowerment and all that jazz. But can we please not equate female empowerment with misandry? They're not the same thing! Unless you're a radical feminist. And people like that are why I personally don't identify as a feminist.
I have nothing against the actual movement itself. The radical misandry is what scares me personally.
And despite my Herbert West profile picture. I'm not scared of misandry because I have cahones. I have XX chromosomes.
No, I'm scared of misandry because misandry is a form of bigotry.
And radical feminists aren't helping anything.
Exactly
I agree so much with you , that’s why i think that American horror story : cult left me me more traumatized than the others season , I’m not saying that it was my favorited season but the part with Valerie Solanas and the scum manifesto shook me for real 😂
Preach, preach, preach!! Speak the truth, Oleander Rainbow Glycerine!!!
I don't want to see forced feminism in a Black Christmas movie because it has no place in an R rated movie about a killer that kills a group of sorority girls on Christmas vacation. And yeah this movie sucks. Love the intro song too. Nice job, Cody.
Besides which, the premise of Black Christmas already has a feminist undertone.
The problem is that feminism in movies nowadays is (for the most part) handled so much worse than back then.
@@NebLleb True
Ben Bell I was just about to point out the subplot about the main girl wanting an abortion and the boyfriend saying no. When the original movie came out Roe v Wade had just happened. That subplot was their way of supporting women’s choice while making a movie people actually wanted to see.
MOST slasher horror movies have feminist messages (final girl) but it definitely could've been more subtle in this movie.
@@NebLleb If it had a feminazi undertone, it would have basically been the 2019 film
Clarice Sterling from Silence of the lambs is a great strong female character.
Exactly! It's a myth that there are no strong female leads in horror! I seem to remember Siskel & Ebert being purveyors of that myth.
J Foster hell Laurie Strode from Halloween:H20 is a strong female character
I know this ain't a horror classic, but the main character in your next was a example of a bad ass female.
Don't forget Nancy Thompson from 'Nightmare on Elm Street' 1 and 3, the fictionalized Heather Langenkamp from 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare,' and Sydney Prescott from the 'Scream' films.
Horror has a multitude of strong, inspirational female protagonists, SJW filmmakers like this film's director just ignore them in order to pretend that they're being groundbreaking.
@@Adamguy2003 And the people who say that "All women in horror films just exist to show their tits and die" clearly haven't watched many horror films. Some are like that but the majority of them like Nancy, Laurie, Hellraiser's Kirsty, Scream's Sidney, Clarice and so on kick ass.
I thought that the 2006 remake was bad. That is good now
I just watched them all today and at least the 2006 film is dumb fun. This one is unwatchable
Seen this movie, hated it since
1. The trailer spoiled everything
2. It’s another girl power movie
3. The pg-13 rating
4. The jumpscares weren’t scary but hilarious
Nothing wrong girl power as long as the movie is good
Wesley Etheridge but too bad the movie still sucked BALLS!
In my book: *Horror = R*
Wesley Etheridge It’s that they failed at making a girl power movie
I was surprised how fucking predictable the jumpscares were... the scene with the lights in the attic droned on WAY too long to the point it was just boring
Black Christmas: We need a movie with strong female characters
You’re Next: aM I a jOke tO yOu?
I love You're Next!
BEST FINAL GIRL OF ALL TIME
Laurie Strode, Sydney Prescott, and Ellen Ripley laugh at this movie's existence.
God that intro was hilarious. How sad that these agendas are all over, this is just as bad as misogynistic men and it just makes my gender look bad. I'm a victim of domestic violence and I still don't even think all men suck. All of them don't, can't just lump a whole group of people and say they're terrible just.. god. Fuck it. Thanks for the review Cody
Exactly, Cara Pool, I couldn't agree more. Hollywood should stop greenlighting crap like this. Hearing that you are a victim of domestic violence, I really feel for you. I hate men who abuse women, be it physically, sexually, or mentally!!
Sorry to hear about the abuse thing, if I saw the man who did it I would personally kick his butt
They would if you'd live in a ultrareligious environment where women are actually stripped from their rights and oppressed (cough Jehovas Whitnesses cough).
Most modern Men are trying to be open-minded and binary gender norms become more and more loose, saying 50% of the world population is evil to the other 50% is just plain wrong
Brainbot Jezebel Actually it’s mostly just western countries where gender norms are becoming more loose. For most of the rest of the world things have remained pretty much the same.
Are you afending my gender
I don't care if this is a "Feminist" message film. Where does saying something is "Feminist based" okay to basically say "We are gonna shit on men and make them out to be all evil." That to me does not make anything okay. Its a nasty film directed at portraying a demographic negatively. If a film today said their agenda was to show all black people as evil and nasty, that film would be banned from release. Its only because feminists play the "victim" all the time, people think they are allowed to say whatever they want. Personally, I don't see how that is at all an acceptable excuse. I'm glad it bombed and I hope another film like this is never made.
I think 20 more are in the works for next month alone, unfortunately.
"This has nothing to do with Black Christmas."
I figured that out from the trailer. Absolutely loved the first one, and I even found things to like about the remake. This abomination, however... You hit the nail on the head with this one. Liked and subbed.
Was anyone really expecting this to be good, though lol
No
Maybe feminists lol
dizzlethagod as a feminist, can confirm I thought it would be shit.
I went into this watching with a gift card. also went in KNOWING it would be bullshit. I hated the pg 13 rating when it should have been a heavy R. Hollywood has to stop all the watered down style, the Soska sisters Jen and Sylvia would have been better writers for it
@Justpaul ya we basically went to see this as a fans of the original. Even watched both the others the same day before going. Wifey was actually ready to leave and was genuinely pissed off on the crap we saw.
Like we knew it was going to be crap from the trailer, but were totally unprepared for the absolute prechy-ness that it was.
Freddy’s Dead is looking good
Ok maybe not, um, how about: Dream Child is looking good
At least Freddy's Dead has some goofy ass fun in it.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 ya as a comedy its actually pretty funny lol power glove 😆😆
Super Freddie SUCKS
@@coreygross9023 Say that too his face 😂!!
You know a movie sucks when one of the positives is "it has Christmas in it" 😂
Once again, probably the most underrated movie reviewer on CZcams strikes gold here with this review. Explained all your thoughts perfectly calling out the movie flaws, and not just the ridiculous message it was preaching. Good shit Cody.
“Hi Friday The 13th Fans” as a Friday the 13th fan I really felt that 😂
Black Christmas 2019. A horrible film masquerading as a horror film.
I mean it is pretty scary how bad it is
Hands down one of the best 2019 intros
The original had an overlying point too, but it was nothing like this.
But even that was just an accident.
Bob Clark told interviewers it wasn't about making a statement. It was just something to have the characters do in between kills lol
I think even Olivia Hussy backed him up on this
Much like Friday the 13th. The whole sex and drugs will get you slaughtered was an accident. They just had the kids do what kids do while unsupervised and then killed them off.
Are you talking about the abortion? Yeah, that was just thrown in there for juicy melodrama. Same with Mrs. Mac's two-faced grumblings and Barb's hijinks being the comic relief.
It’s a PG-13 horror movie, I expected it to suck
@Nerd Incorporated or A quiet place
Or Cloverfield
Dude. Insidious was honestly one of the greatest horror movies ever
Ahem, Insidious
Actually, it was a PG-13 slasher movie, slasher movies aren’t meant to be PG-13
Bad Things About the Movie : Literally Everything
Good Things About the Movie: It’s Christmas😃
The scariest thing about this movie is how many people actually went to see it. I'm a gay white male and although I haven't seen this I'm 100% certain it wasn't made for me either.
It wasn't made for anyone.
Ur too funny lol
Your gay lol
@@TJ-zq7rb yes, I am. You have a problem with that?
Kry Kry Stott he’s bringing up the point that this movie wasn’t made for anyone regardless of sexuality, gender, age, etc dumbass.
I didn’t know movies could be so sexist
I don't know how but the 2019 Black Christmas was actually so much worse than the 2006 Lol....
The new 2019 wants to make me feel bad about being a white male?!?! 🤣🤣
Could be so armament haki
You apparently didn't watch the feminazi ghost busters that came out a couple of years ago. Not only that but shows can be sexist as well, such as Rainbow Rangers for example.
You must've not seen The Last Jedi. Bless you.
@@Openreality the cartoon? Examples?
You wanna watch an actual good feminist movie, watch A League Of Their Own.
Ha this guy 👆 gets it.
Or the original "Black Christmas", since it was more feminist just by existing.
What happened to Blumhouse?Troma Entertainment or Uwe Boll would make a better remake than this.
Well, I don't know about Uwe, lmao, but Troma would definitely make a better remake. I'm actually a fan of Troma's films, though. I'm just shocked & ashamed that Blumhouse greenlit something like this, as they've been doing so well.
They dont really care as long as it makes money.still,they had make some grest movie like get out and i respect them for it.
Cody Leach Christmas cards with his twists of holiday classics absolutely needs to be a thing!
"I'm a straight white male. I'm not the audience this film was made for."
I mean if you try to make a movie that for only a couple of people, that's your first problem, Black Christmas.
Gotta respect the honesty from him
Cody: "Look, I'm a horror fan, I'm a slasher fan. I can acknowledge fully that some of the movies that we all love and hail are not very good movies."
Me: "LOL I both agree with that statement and can think of at least two franchises that come to mind immediately: A Nightmare on Elm Street & Friday the 13th."
Also Cody: "Hi, Friday the 13th fans!"
Also also Me: "I feel attacked."
Nightmare on Elm Street is hilarious and one of the movies even had homosexual subtext
The only good Friday films are 2, 4 and 6 IMO.
That intro!😂👍 I didn't even know this was a remake until you said it in this review, so that explains it all really.😂
Women have been kicking ass in horror for decades. I don't know what they were trying to prove with this movie.
Kinda funny how people are saying “Blumhouse is going downhill” as if Truth or Dare, The Curse of La Llorona, and The Nun weren’t things that happened this decade
Blumhouse is the Illumination Studios of horror.
I was going to say "Annabelle could be their Minion type character",but then I remembered that Warner Brothers was in charge of "The Conjuring". Lol, put something clever in Annabelle's place thats connected to Blumhouse.
Hey At least invisible man was good but I attribute that more to Leigh Whannel
Truth or Dare is underrated
I think Brad Jones sums this movie up the best : it's God's Not Dead for the left.
Did anybody actually think this movie was gonna be good. I’m serious who thought this was gonna be good.
I thought it had a chance when I saw imogen poots was in it and Bloomhouse was behind it. Everything changed when I saw it was PG13 and the people behind kept bringing up the agenda of the movie.
I honestly thought it looked promising at first, but when in the trailer revealed that it has a cult thing happening I lost all hope in it.
Jacobthesnakeup i just hoped it would be. Alas, I was horribly wrong and lost 2 hours of my life im never getting back
The political messaging was overwhelmingly strong in this one. Well shot, but virtually nothing to do with the original. Black Christmas 1974 is my favorite movie so I obligated myself to see it. The worst thing about this movie is I can see how it would actually encourage misogyny and whatever else the movie’s agenda was set against.
Yes, you make an unfortunate good point there, Billy. I guess the filmmakers weren't considering that they could end up inspiring even more misogyny.
Or misandry.
You sure you don't mean misandry?
MagicN9ne I was thinking of misogyny springing from feelings of defensiveness or resentment.
@@FUG22222 it's you Billy!
Cody Leach the man is BACK BABY! And he’s back in style. Hell yeah!
111highgh damn right
I feel that this film is a spit in the face of the original Black Christmas and disrespects the legacy of Bob Clark, well my feelings were right and because of that I'll never support this film.
This film deserves every single criticism it's getting and I hope Hollywood should learn that men and women hate these types of films. If your point is to be preachy, pandering, filled with hate towards men and not actually making a good and compelling story? Well you played yourself congratulations.
I hope this film bombs just to set an example. If audiences hated Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, MIB: International and most recently Charlie's Angels well we don't like it and it isn't about men being sexist, you're just being annoying with your message and making men and women look horrible in these films. Oh and your story is crap.
I'm glad that I saw Jumanji: The Next Level instead of this, everyone should learn to not be like this and just focus on making a quality film, especially in the genre of horror.
*sigh* I'm done with my rant.
@@itsharryhagen Never saw it but it's on my bucket list. What other classics should I watch?
@@itsharryhagen I've heard of Alice Sweet Alice, I need to check it out.
The worst part is that messages can be pushed in a movie well. Take a look at Get Out and how it effectively comments on slavery and racism in general.
The problem isn't the agenda, it's that the people making these crap-heaps focus more on pushing that agenda with strawmen fallacies rather than ACTUALLY CREATING A QUALITY PRODUCT.
The result? The filmmakers make themselves look like utter morons, and the actors who starred in it end up becoming members of a metaphorical Film Actors' Guild.
@@NebLleb I personally enjoyed Get Out but I definitely understand all of what you said.
But if you want to make a film that wants us to think about what's happening today, you have to make it a quality film that can challenge us instead of beating the message into us. Few have done it right while others not so much.
@@tonymata8070 I enjoyed Get Out, too!
Wow...women fight back. How cutting edge (Terminator). How socially conscious (Alien). How daring (every Friday the 13 final girl), etc.
Ho ho ho, Cody has delivered an early christmas present! I do not only mean the song at the beginning!🎅🎁🌲
9 people disliked this video so far because they wanted to like this movie, but probably haven't seen it yet.
Silent Night, Girly Night. 😂😂
I was looking for a title for my slasher short. Can I use that one. It's too perfect.
my 33 year old son says he Passes on this Movie Black Christmas!
Has he seen Black Christmas (1974)?
That thumbnail is the best thing ever lol
Silent Night, Girly Night- pretty dead on. It's really sad since the original was , for me, great. This lame and unnecessary remake isn't even mediocre; It's really bad. And it's very very preachy about it's agenda(which is literally the film) it's not even Black Christmas.
You can do a girl power movie without over doing it and making it over the top social and political. I agree there’s a TON of strong female characters within this genre. Most iconic slashers have a “final girl”.
The intro was just
PERFECTION!!!!!!
The original is pretty much what carpenter ripped from for halloween.This movie will be the one nobody misses.
Good to have you back man! Missed your movie reviews the last couple weeks, and started rewatching old ones lol keep it up brother
The 2006 version in my opinion is a guilty pleasure, I like the original as well.
When you even waste Cary Elwes, that’s a bad sign. And Wesley is very disappointed.
Agreed
Hasn't Dr. Gordon suffered enough?
Current Rating of Black Christmas (2019) on IMDb is a 3/10.
LOL!
Too high
Pretty bad when even IMDB doesn't like your film lol.
The cinemascore is a D+
That’s 4 marks too high
The downfall of "blandhouse" begins
arnt they the studio that mad sharknado?
@@wilmagregg3131 that was the asylum
Any bets on who gets blamed for its failure.
its Ghostbusters 2016 all over again dear god
I'm thinking Elizabeth Banks is going to get blamed.
I thought the 2006 black xmas payed alot of respect towards the original. I loved that they gave Billy a backstory . Still could've been better but hey at least I got two solid Black Christmas movies
If I want a Christmas- themed horror film, I'll stick with 'Krampus.'
1. That is actually a GOOD movie.
2. It's an original concept rather than a remake twisted to push an ultra feminist view.
3. It actually DOES portray women as strong and empowered without getting all over the top and preachy about it. The scene when Aunt Linda goes all "Mama Bear" on the evil toys in the attic with an icicle and an axe was, I'd say, a great example of that; Even though she was clearly terrified of what she was facing, the love she had for her family (Even those she had argued with earlier) gave her the strength and courage to fight off those monsters and save her loved ones. I'd say THAT's pretty inspirational and empowering. Great Aunt Dorothy then shotgunning the evil toys later was pretty cool too.
Hearing cody rhyme is like a Dr.Seuss metal album
I wanna see a remake, where maybe something about Jess's baby that she was preggers with at the end of the first movie, I mean she talked about getting an abortion but she didn't in the movie, and if Billy wasn't her boyfriend which we know it wasn't seeing as Billy was talking just before the credits roll and he is in the attic, then I can think of a great sequal which takes place years later where Jess kept her baby and now that child is grown and is attending the same sorority and school and well.......... Something like that anyway, obviously Billy was targeting Jess for a reason which maybe can be explained in my sequal and now maybe he sets his sites on Jess's daughter, I mean idk, I am no writer, but I have been hoping for years for some kind of sequal that answers all our questions from the first one
But he is implied to kill Jess in the end.
I want a sequel that takes place a few years after the sorority murders. Since the movie came out in 1974, then the sequel should take place in 1976 or 1977 at the most. A new group of sorority sisters move in to the house and Billy strikes again. But this time we get to know more about the killer's intentions and his past.
12:23 as soon as he said "This clip here" a CZcams ad played about stocks and COVID-19
I actually watched the original on CZcams a while back and I really liked it.
I have no interest in seeing the remake!
That intro was amazing. Keep up the awesome work bro 👍
4:02: I also recognized Zoe Robbins, who played the White Ranger in Power Rangers Ninja Steel. She was the black girl with the dreadlocks from the other sorority.
The more you look at the background the more you find
I’m more let down on the pg stuff then female agenda stuff
The intro song tops everything you ever did, 😂😂😂 thanks for the laughs man
Cody: "Hello Friday the 13th Fans"
Me: Waving back like a idiot
Don't worry Jason still loves you bro. Happy Friday 13th 🔪🔪🔪🔪
Great video🤘
As soon I heard the intro and saw the thumbnail I already knew u didn’t like the film😂
Omg!! Cody has the best intros!! I think this one is my fave!
how have I not found your channel till right now, great vids, definitely subscribed
I have the remake from 2005. I only bought it because of KATIE CASSIDY. I LOVED THE ORIGINAL.
matthew parker this is 1000x worse
I feel like the studio will take this bomb as "slasher Christmas films just dont work"
Film Trigger Lol exactly
The original had strong women characters without going crazy. Why keep remaking this movie?
Whenever I'm upset I can't just go to your channel and I feel better
Don’t like that they changed the concept. I love, love, the original. I won’t spend money on the ticket.
I'm curious if studio heads make them put this "me too" in films or if it's directors, writers or if it's the actors. I'd like to know.
I don't think any of them actually believe in it. They just stick it in there for publicity, to make more money and as an excuse to call people sexist if the film fails.
Even the people who get pandered to are sick of being pandered to now. That's how bad it's gotten. Most women are sick of feminists calling men and other women who don't agree with them sexists. There are gay people who want equal treatment and not special treatment and are sick of certain people calling people who won't give them special treatment homophobes. There are probably plenty of black people who hate the more extreme types who see racism everywhere and so on. Like you say political correctness is the new in thing so they're milking that for all its worth. And its weird how the makers of failed feminist films ignore the success of series with female leads that both men and women like just so they can call them sexist for not liking THEIR films and THEIR female characters. In their heads it's easier to convince themselves people who hate their films hate women than admit they made a bad film. Them using the fact their films star women to call people misogynists for disliking the film for reasons that have nothing to do with them starring women is the real sexism.
I have a weird feeling this will be a classic like Jenifers body.
I was planning on seeing this in cinema but after the thumbnail and intro song I'm gonna save my money
You a legend for that intro bro
As he was listing all the strong female protagonists I was sitting their saying Sydney over and over again and when he said it it made me happy
That intro was everything I love it lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How you gonna turn one of the bleakest, darkest slasher films of the 70s that had some actually well-written female characters into a PG-13 “grrrl power” action horror movie with barely any violence?
Honestly I can name like 10 slasher movies with strong, badass female characters that all do the “strong, badass women” thing way better than this:
You’re Next
Terminator
The Halloween series
The Scream series
Alien and Aliens
Candyman
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
The Hatchet/Victor Crowley series
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Jordan Peele’s Us
Most of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies
What gets me about this movie is that they're promoting it as "revolutionary" due to it being a horror film about female characters who fight back against the male killers...............clearly they haven't seen any horror films since the 1970s.
They don’t have to look that far back really. The movie Death Proof did it years before this movie.
Dude love ur attitude and opinions. Keep it up bro 💪🏻
Trank you for the Great explanation. It was really helpful. We‘re looking forward to watch this Great movie tonight. It will be so much fun.
You have an amazing voice btw. We could listen to you all night long.
Can anyone tell me all the references in the background and what movie are they from? Wondering if I missed any 🤗
I walked out on this movie. How in the heck did it get a theatrical release?
This version makes the 2006 version look like the shining and I always kinda liked the first remake for similar reasons you did and for how it's almost so bad it's good.
Great review! We recently covered all 3 on our podcast yesterday. It's nice to see other's perspectives on this film. I personally prefer the original to the remakes. The '74 version I think contained an even balance of psychological horror and gore. The fact that you never see Billy's face, with the exception of his eyes, and only hear his voice and the insanity within it gives more of an unsettling feeling whereas the '06 remake was just more gore and the '19 remake was simply just the filmmakers trying to capitalize on the original whilst promoting an agenda by slapping the name Black Christmas on the film.
Loved your intro song 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome video, as always. Thank you 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
