This flick blows! I've just watched 2 crappy "thrillers" back to back; this and A cure for Wellness... Even if u take it with a grain of salt and try to justify some of the over the top stuff, it just doesn't work
DO NOT WATCH (Regardless of how much u enjoy horror/suspense films)

This is the worst Horror Movie of 2006 and an unforgiving remake of a classic. While the DP attempts to film it in a similar style to the 1970s version, everything else is bad. Bad acting, bad writing, bad dialogue, bad make-up, bad bad bad. Do not waste time. Don't fall for how it looks, after 10 minutes you will feel like you already wasted too much of your life on this.

***SPOILERS*** Bloody re-make of the 1974 slasher flick has a jaundice affected psycho Billy Lenz, Robert Mann,brake out of a local sanitarium as cause havoc among the students of the Delta Alpha Kappa sorority that was once his home. Having been abused by his deranged mother,Karin Konoval, who hated him because of his skin color-yellow-and really wanted a girl Billy was later raped by her who later produced a girl Agnas, Dean Friss, of her own with Billy being both her brother as well as father. Revenge came soon enough with Billy killing both his mom and her boyfriend, who was impotent,and ending up being put away for life at the State's Clark Sanitarium.That's until Christmas Eve 2006 where Billy now 35 broke out and headed for the sorority house to murder and dismember, by poking out his victims eyes, everyone there. Obviously insane and delusional Billy with the help of his sister/daughter Agnas end up murdering almost all the girls at the sorority for what seems like no reason at all, they never did him or Agnas any harm, just to show how crazy that the two are. The usual blood splattering scenes you would expect in a movie like this but it being done on Christmas making it far worse then it could have been if it was done on non religious holidays like "Halloween" or "Saint Valentine Day" or "Alfonso-Scareface Al-Capone's Birthday".***SPOILERS***We get the standard or usual slasher movie ending with both Billy and Agnas coming back to life-After being killed off-to finish the very job that they both started. Only to be killed for a second time in a far more bloody and spectacular fashion. In Billy's case being impaled on a Christmas tree as part of its holidays decorations. Actress Andrea Martin who was one of the killer's victims in the original "Black Christmas" in 1974 was back again for an encore as housemother Ms. Barbara MacHenry who ended up getting brained by a falling icicle as she was trying to flee for her life from the two psycho killers.

The travesty that is the Black Christmas remake is beyond mind-numbingly bad that it was painful to watch. There is a lot of stupidity shown by the characters with no development to them whatsoever. The plot is extremely predictable and just doesn't cut it to what the horror genre needs. Death scenes tried to be grotesque but it was a lot of splatter off scene techniques that required no creativity or decent special effects. The actresses in this movie had potential but the writing and directing was so dumbed down that didn't have a chance in putting forth reasonable roles that could be expected. I hated the back-story, the character's decision making, the kills, the script, the phone ring-tones (we get it, its Christmas), and especially the hospital scenes at the end. It's nearly the exact opposite of Clark's original masterpiece and is definitely a one and done view for a fan or horror.
