Black Christmas (2006)

6.8/10.The second Black Christmas.It's obviously not as good as the original which was more mystery blended with little gore.Here gore's thrown in our faces for the sake of gore.The Weinsteins had to butt in much to director Glen Morgan's frustration.He reportedly hates boo scares.I liked the backstory, Billy hated by his crazed mother due to his appearance from jaundice, killed his father with her boyfriend, imprisoned him in the attic.He, in turn, escapes to murder and maim his sister/daughter.Now he comes home, a nod to Halloween, to kill the sorority girls living there.My attitude though is i find quite watchable.It may not be as good as the original but it does the idea of remake well by being its own movie.I would still watch it over the anti male hate filled one of 2019, just dreadful.Andrea Martin's the real star here, she's fun.It's still a decent watch.
