It's Me, Billy

Now I'm a massive fan of the Original Black Christmas from 1974, it is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. Then you have the two remakes and I actually really liked the 2006 remake Black X-Mas (2006), but I absolutely despise the 2019 remake from Blumhouse which is easily one of the worst horror movies of all time. Now we have It's me, Billy (2021) and this is easily one of the best fan films of all time.

Positives for It's me, Billy (2021): You can tell that Dave McRae and Bruce Dale love the original Black Christmas because this feels like it goes perfectly with that original. Then you, have the great performances from Victoria Mero as Sam, Shelby Handley as Emma and Malaika Hennie as Justine and they are all great main characters in this movie. Then, you have Bryan Charles Peter as Billy and Dave McRae as the voice of Billy and these guys are awesome as that icon horror villain. And finally, I also have to say that the filmmaking here is phenomenal especially given that it's a fan film on YouTube.

Overall, It's me, Billy (2021) is one of the greatest fan films I've ever seen in my life and I can't wait to see Part 2.

Don't listen to the people who didn't "get it" or the trolls who hate Dave McRae. It's a brilliant professional film that is supposed to make you question what you just saw and discovered. Brilliant Black Christmas sequel that is soaked in atmosphere, mood, creepy phone calls (which are done BEAUTIFULLY) and tension that will drive you crazy! It honors the original, while taking a bold step forward. Watch it! Black Christmas fans will LOVE IT, and Bob Clark would have been proud!

After multiple fan films based off hit horror films like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween", it is refreshing to see one made for Black Christmas. Of course, Dave and Bruce delivered!

This has the quality of a Hollywood film you would typically see from production companies such as Blumhouse or New Line.

I love the DP work. Especially in certain moments near the end, that gives me major, Halloween Vibes. I was almost expecting to see Michael Myers to emerge out from the shadows.

Some great shots. Especially a really nice tracking shot. That I'm a sucker for. So I loved that.

Some really intense & Suspense moments. Especially one moment, that is impossible for me to watch, from start to finish. In a good way.

The action is solid. There are some scenes that I didn't care for the performances. But nothing bad.

There are some shots, that I didn't like. Not many at all though.

The film feels longer than what it really is. In a good way. There's actually quite of bit going on. It Leaves me wanting more.

That's kind of a negative too, Cause it feels like I didn't get enough at the very same time

It's my favorite short film. Yet.

Dave and Bruce knocked it out of the park!! Loved it from start to finish and I can't wait to see what they do next. Definitely worth a look!!
