BlackChristmas isn't a perfect remake of the 1974 holiday-themed slasher flick—but it's perfectly, righteously, deservedly angry, and that makes all the difference. Our review:
So join us, won’t you, as we enter the campus of the fictional Hawthorne University, your typically tony East Coast college full of tweed-jacketed professors and jacked-up fratboys. Riley is, unlike many of her fellow Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters, sticking around for the Christmas break.
Soon, a figure in a black robe and mask — the same guy we saw kill a young woman in the snow in a pre-credits sequence — starts knocking off the remaining Kappas. Riley is also getting threatening texts saying she’s next.
from here on out, except to say that Riley and her fellow females-in-peril Kris and Marty prove to be resourceful when the time comes to defend themselves, and that something much bigger may be going on here. It also bears mentioning that folks who seem like allies maybe aren’t — but isn’t that always the case? — and that while it’s true that not all men [] are creeps, there may be an inner creep just waiting to be awakened.
