The holiday season turns deadly for a group of sorority sisters (Katie Cassidy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lacey Chabert, Michelle Trachtenberg) who are stranded at their campus house during a snowstorm. These coeds better watch out, for a vicious killer is on the loose, and he will not care if they are naughty or nice.

Critics Consensus

A gratuitous remake of the 1974 slasher, Black Christmas pumps out the gore and blood with zero creativity, humor, or visual flair.

Slant Magazine

Glen Morgan's update of Bob Clark's 1974 slasher flick Black Christmas is an exemplar of how to screw up a modern horror film remake.

Rated: 1/4

In its attempts to build a franchise and legacy, Black Christmas stabs itself in the eye. Blind from any sort of craft or talent, every piece of the film fails in an overly exploitive and off-putting experience that is impossible to justify watching.

Rated: D-

The editing is horrendous. The tone is all over the place. The gore is over-the-top. It's a trashy mess. And yet, it's still dumb fun.

Rated: 3/5

This movie shooked me.. for a 2006 movie, it is quite disturbing. The deaths are horrifying, violent, and gorey, the acting and the screams are great . I have not seen a good horror christmas movie in a long time, and generally, it's a good horror well. This was a good time and I'm glad I spent 1 hour and 32 minutes to watch this movie. This movie is criminally underrated.

🍀 3.4/10 My ADHD has hit to Max with this one. I really cannot tell any of these characters apart. There is no personality here I will say it is gory but it gets to an excessive point where it's not really fun anymore and we're just like OK. I like Billy‘s character though. I love how they're just running away from a life-size Lego mini-figure. Grade C-

I actually stuck around to the end of this one, mostly because it was at least more slickly produced than the original and I knew more of this cast from other movies. Still... not a good film. Watched for free on VUDU with commercials. That's a fair price for this one.

Nope. Couldn't keep watching it, ended it after 20 minutes. trashy comedic slasher fests are quite boring to me - but if thats what u look for you won't fail with this one. I'm still on the lookout for some more serious & sophisticated Christmas horror. (Heard the original and newer remake are better. Maybe give those a try.)

Man this is a terrible movie - I had to go to wikipedia to figure out what was going on. Did Billy breaking out of prison take place in the past? On the one hand the murders are occuring - on the other 'billy' is breaking out of prison - so who is doing the killings? Why do we need such a complicated plot? I bought this by mistake on Amazon prime thinking it was the original which is fantastic. This one is a waste of time. If they wanted a surprise ending then the murders should not have started until Billy was out of prison - then we could all think Billy was doing the murders - but no - they had to have this stupid plot - having 2 really bad killers - one on the way. I don't get it. I hated it.
