Ok, so I came to review this version of Black Christmas, since the 2019 version was complete trash. This movie is such an underrated film, and definitely deserves more stars!! I've always enjoyed this version. If you want gore and violence, then this movie is for you! It's a good slasher film!

I recently watched the Black X-mas (2006) for free on YouTube. The movie focuses on a serial killer slashing his way through a sorority house as the ladies prepare for the Christmas holiday break. This movie is directed by Glen Morgan (Willard) and stars Katie Cassidy (Click and The Nightmare in Elm Street remake), Michelle Trachtenberg (Eurotrip), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard) and Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls). This movie is so fun. The kill scenes are very well executed with great gore and intensity. I did feel the original Black Christmas had better storyline delivery and acting; but for what this lacked in maturity in actors and storyline execution this made up for with the kill scene and special effects execution (the kill scenes in the original are all fun too though). I strongly recommend this film. You'll be entertained. I'd score it a 7.5-8/10.

Black Christmas (2006) was the first of two remakes of Bob Clark's 1974 proto-slasher, this one directed by former X Files and Final Destination writer Glen Morgan. That it doesn't even come close to the original probably goes without saying... But I'm not sure why people hate it. The film is terribly effective and entertaining! The gore scenes are excellent. After that, it is true that the scenario is a bit stupid and predictable. And there is no political message, unlike the original or the version of 2019. But personally, I find like this Black Christmas one of the best slashers of the 2000s.
