    Get revenge.

    If you know someone in your life who you hate then buy them a ticket to see this. Then sit back and laugh like Mr Burns knowing they are watching this awful movie.

    Dull, awkward, and predictable.

    The biggest offender of the latest incarnation of 'Black Christmas' is its lack of imagination. There's no mystique. There's no mystery. Considering its namesake, it doesn't even seem to attempt to try and retain any of the key components that makes the original film such a classic.

    For starters, the film is incredibly flat. The direction and cinematography is dull and uninspired, and the film feels completely lifeless as a result, lacking in any mood and suspense almost entirely, and substituting with way too many cheap jump scares.

    The script is just as awkward, with unbelievably cringeworthy dialogue, unlikeable characters, with them making too many questionable decisions, and frankly, it asks a little too much for suspension of disbelief.

    As a remake, it misses the mark horrendously. As a horror film, it leaves a lot to be desired. It's both a bad film, and an incredibly boring one.

    Disgustingly horrible...

    I went into Friday the 13th wanting to watch a horror movie I'd never seen before. BIG mistake. This movie was alarmingly, underwhelming. I don't even know where to begin. Frat boys using black magic to prey on women because they're afraid of their masculinity being in jeopardy.

    Honestly, anyone who's been waiting months to see this movie like me, don't waste your time going to the theatre to watch this movie. Wait until it's available for streaming or if you really want to see it, try to see it on a cheap night.

    I give this feministic, horror film a lowly 3/10.

    A DISGRACE to the 1974 Classic!!!

    And I thought the 2006 remake was bad? HA. This one makes it look like a great movie! Seriously guys, this movie had no quality plot, writing, thought, or direction. The characters were exceptionally bad and unlikable and had no depth. The scares were cliché and very unoriginal. It's a total introvert to the 1974 cult classic. The original actually had suspense, a creepy atmosphere, scary scenes, and an effective direction. This one had none of those things... I'm very surprised because Blumhouse usually makes quality films, from my experience. Very disappointed.

    DO NOT ruin your holidays and see Black Christmas! The original is great, but not this one!

    Who asked for this?

    Not only do you make a garbage remake of a horror classic but you make it a PG-13 version? Absolute trash. Someone should be arrested for this dribble.

    • Trivia
      Universal Studios/Blumhouse received a backlash after the first trailer was released for the film due to the extreme amount of spoilers within it.
    • Goofs
      When hiding in the cleaning closet upstairs, Riley breaks a mop to improvise a weapon from the handle. There obviously were two different filming sessions for her going down the stairs because the broken end of the mop handle changes. When filmed slightly below her (slightly looking up at her) the broken end of the mop handle is more blunt. But when filmed above her from behind (looking down at her) the broken end of the mop handle is more elongated, more pointed, and threatening.

    • Alternate versions
      The original R-rated version of this film ran 111 minutes, before being edited down to a 92 minutes long PG-13 version released in theaters.
