This was so hard to take seriously as a slasher movie,especially as a Black Christmas movie.
It bares little resemblance to the previous Black Christmas movies.
Its was a very frustrating watch for a slasher movie as it barely has any murder or mayhem, the kills are a split second then off screen. Highly odd for Black Christmas if u judge it by the 2006 BC. Although i did read it that this one was initially an R-Rated movie but was cut to be a PG-13 and it REALLY shows in its final result.
The twist of the story which is different from the two previous films is not as effective for me. Seemed kinda ridiculous, especially if the result of the movie was different.
Its a very talky movie, more of a drama for the most part, female issues against men and certain men in the story. Takes up most of the movie.
The characters all make stupid decisions, which u can usually forgive as its the horror genre but this one is all the more frustrating since they presume they're all so intelligent and awesome. but they're just as dumb as potato. The men are portrayed as equally stoopid. It feels like a bad 80s's B-movie slasher you haven't heard of in that sense.
The final action sequence is pretty laughable and cringey, very far fetched and unbelievable.
Even with all the talky dramatic scenes, if there was just more action and suspense i'd definitely have rated it higher and wouldn't have seemed a waste of money.
Of all the movies i've seen at the cinema this year, this one would win the Razzie of the Year for me.
