I'm gonna sound so lame but I love shitty horror movies. People still put effort into them, and art doesn't need to be perfect. Give me a plot that doesn't make sense and generic or weird characters. I may not react in fear, but I'll still find joy in it.

"Christmas is more about warding off evil spirits than Halloween. What Christmas shit in this room resembles anything Christian, huh? It's all neo-pagan magic. Christmas tree, a magical rite ensuring the return of the crops. The mistletoe is nothing but a conception charm. Fifth century Christians jacked a Roman Winter Festival - twelve days in December when the nights were long and the Earth was ruled by the demons of chaos. And fucking Santa Claus? This fat voyeur that watches you all year long to make sure you live up to his standards of decency before breaking into your house. And that is different from what Billy did, how?" Black Christmas (2006) dir. Glen Morgan

Black Christmas (1974) is Bob Clark's seminal holiday horror classic credited with kickstarting the modern slasher sub genre as we see it today while simultaneously subverting many of the maligned slasher tropes that dozens of its derivatives popularized in the 80s.
Instead of punishing the characters for enjoying their youth the film portrays empowered young adults eager to face their issues head one, except Barb who is shown from the start to use drinking as a coping mechanism for her abandonment issues and later, guilt while cloaking these anxieties with wit. but it works because we have a clear sense of who Barb is, or at least a part of her personality. All the characters are written as regular people, not one dimensional slasher bait.
Along with writing well developed characters, The film manages to utilize many second wave feminist ideas regarding body autonomy and a woman's right to choose education and a career over the traditional domestic maternal role forced on young women. These ideas shine through the characterization of its intelligent and ambitious female characters, specifically Jess. We get a sense of their empowered confidence immediately once the women start receiving obscene phone calls at their sorority house. While bothered, Barb is ready to cloak this by using that wit against the harasser, something she probably has done in the past.
When one of their own disappears after the phone call the women navigate the terrifying ordeal with little help from the mostly incompetent and potentially dangerous men around them who end up hindering the few competent male characters from solving the bizarre case. Notable for featuring a prominent pro choice subplot for our final girl, Black Christmas remains socially relevant nearly 50 vears after its release.

31 Nights of Halloween Horror: day 23
My choice for last night was: Black Christmas (2006)
Tumblr media
I rated this 5/10. Generic mid 2000's horror movie remake. Not particularly good, but filled with beautiful women and lots of blood. Different than the original movie, and though I know it's been remade I haven't seen the new remake yet lol.

Black Christmas (2006) dir. Glen Morgan. 7.5/10
I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.
Wow this cast is so reminiscent of that era.
Icicle deaths always freak me out. Remember when Cristina got impaled by one in Grey's Anatomy? These murders are intense and epic. Agnes pulling her eye out is next level.
Billy's mom is a disgusting human being. Kyle saying he wasn't hurting anybody is disgusting.
Why are houses in movies so easy to navigate through the walls?
