45 years ago, Black Christmas aka Silent Night, Evil Night scared moviegoers just days before the holiday. This year, an updated version (or second remake) of the 1974 movie is coming to theaters on Friday the 13th of December.
The slasher film is described as, “Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone (Imogen Poots, Green Roomn) and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters-athlete Marty (Lily Donaghue, The CW’s Jane the Virgin), rebel Kris (Aleyse Shannon, The CW’s Charmed), and foodie Jesse (Brittany O’Grady, Fox’s Star)-prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one.
“As the body count rises, Riley and her squad start to question whether they can trust any man, including Marty’s beta-male boyfriend, Nate (Simon Mead, Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story), Riley’s new crush Landon (Caleb Eberhardt, Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle) or even esteemed classics instructor Professor Gelson (Cary Elwes).
“Whoever the killer is, he’s about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t about to be anybody’s victims”
As someone who loves horror movies based on holidays, I am thoroughly excited for this movie. Especially because it looks like Blumhouse is keeping it old school. As in letting the suspense of the kill scares as compared to horrible CGI effects. That and last year I saw so many Christmas based horror movies, I need a new one to add to my viewing list.
You can watch the original Black Christmas on TubiTV for free now. Something I will be doing to get me in the mood for the holidays. If you have never seen it, it is one of the scariest Christmas horror movies ever made and believe me, I would know.
