Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ilikehorrormovies To the fans of this movie, I like some stuff of the movie like the kills are neat, it's gory, the cast is decent, and the origin story okay to be honest. This movie is bad, I'd expect to like this film but just the bad acting, slow pace, and mediocre story ruined it for me. And this guy name Billy like he look like a Simpson because of his yellow skin. Billy's mom in the movie gave a terrible performance, I know she tried but still. Beside the mom rape his son off camera! WHAT THE HELL?! I almost gave this movie a 1 but I like some things in the film so 2 is a desirable rating. The phone call scene is like a rip off of Scream, I guess this is a Halloween plus a bit of Scream then you get this movie. I haven't watch the original but if I did, I bet it's better. The acting is terrible like cheap porn give better performances then this film. I wish I didn't watch this on Christmas. (I finally watch the unrated version and it's better. Still the same movie though).Score for unrated cut: 7/10

rockman182 I watched the original film for the first time not too long ago and really enjoyed it. I saw the 2006 installment right when it came out but couldn't really it. I'm very into horror films though so I decided it was time for a rewatch to see if this could be more enjoyable the second time around. I do like horror movies revolving around a holiday, it doesn't happen that often but it really should.This film is a loose remake of the original, that takes place in a sorority house. The film follows a group of girls who are being hunted down by a yellow skinned killer named Billy Lenz. He is a murdered who broke out of prison and is looking for his sister at the same house the girls currently inhabit. The film becomes a slasher film where the body count increases while the blood is splattered everywhere.The film is very violent. Eyes get gauged out, heads get pierced, multiple stabbing occurs, heads roll, its all very bloody. Its not very holiday friendly but who the hell cares. If you are squeamish during these types of films, this won't be for you. The story isn't really exactly strong, there aren't any really scary moments, nor is the end something groundbreaking or unpredictable. The film follows conventional horror tropes and norms when you really get past the ultra violent nature.Overall, its a throwaway film and not really anything you'll be visiting during Christmas or Halloween for that matter. The film does offer a nice cast of pretty ladies (loving me some Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and good violence. Its predictable and generic but you get some bloody fun out of it, which is the intention of this film. No need to compare to the original, let it stand on its own.6/10

RavenGlamDVDCollector Cast list sounds good. Katie Cassidy is very much in demand with me, what with TAKEN, MELROSE PLACE and MONTE CARLO. Michelle Trachtenberg is the darling Dawn from quintessential favorite BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, so this one I had to see. I knew that being a horror movie, it was going to get gory, but OK, I got myself the DVD.Big mistake.Let me count the ways.(1) While Katie Cassidy's character Kelli takes a while to get going (it seemed like a lost cause during the first half), Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the surprise of this movie, is underemployed. Michelle Trachtenberg peaked as Dawn, and in ICE PRINCESS, and just like Lacey PARTY OF FIVE Chabert should never have grown up. (2) It is overpopulated with a cast of what seems like thousands popping up out of the woodwork. They do, however, only exist to be killed off. (3) As characters are killed off right, left, front and center, who the freaking hell cares about them? There is no audience* involvement as we couldn't care less about these characters existing solely to be killed off.(*I am not repeat NOT talking about the kind of "audience" that finds a pornographic thrill out of spattering gore - you guys are lower than dogs and shouldn't have children) (4) This movie is not scary. It only manages to be offensive. It is poorly executed in its way over the top super-violent approach. (5) It is dumb. Well, d-uh! It is for a dumb market, but really, it is dumb, playing only to the type who can slap their knees and go chortle-chortle fit to wet themselves as a young girl gets her eyes poked out.I am not against showing a terrorized little bunny cowering in a corner as some dark hideous force bears down upon her. As a writer of several stories, sort of like movies in my mind, I would delve into psychological horror and the stuff I would have running amok on the screen would scare you lot silly. It would offend a great many of you. But it wouldn't be such an abattoir, and my heroine is somebody who is an absolute joy to behold, and she's somebody to root for as she scrambles for a way out. Granted, I cannot share this with IMDb, that is my tragedy stuck out in a dead part of the world, but these Hollywood people are in a position to produce better quality work AND YET THEY FOCUS ON SUCH MINDLESS DRIVEL as this heartless remake reveling in what I find disgusting in an offensive way.To me, a horror movie should evoke the response of wanting to grab the pretty heroine and shield her from that unspeakable evil. Yeah, old school, I suppose, but a better school, I proudly insist. You lot revel in the delight of seeing her carved up. My score of 1 -10* especially reflects that with what they had here, something much better could have been made. I fully understand that there are lots of people out there who are quite happy with this kind of stuff. Which is why the world is in such a sad and sorry state. *in the interest of being fair, I've upped it to 3 - 10A life really isn't worth two cents to you if this is your guilty pleasure. Think about that. Your poor children...

TheBlueHairedLawyer A lot of reviewers seem to hate this film because it is a remake of the 1979 film Black Christmas. I can't argue, the 1979 one was better, but mainly because the amount of vulgar language, sex talk, bad acting and awful soundtrack made it one hell of a horrible experience.But the 1979 one had vulgar language too, you say? While, yes, but it was in moderation and was used by characters to show their low-class, immature personality. In the 2006 version, the bad language and sex stuff seems to only be there to appeal to perverts and idiots who think crude humor is funny.The acting was awful, and the soundtrack was that 21st century crud. The only advice I can give is to avoid this movie at all costs, stick with the original.
