2019's Black Christmas is, arguably, a reimagining of the original. A remake? Certainly not. But it's clever in the way it plays off certain elements from the first one - kills, corpse staging, etc. It's far from perfect, but it's fun and entertaining. A little heavy-handed at times, but be honest with yourself - first-wave slashers like the original weren't exactly bastions of subtlety. It's got a nice colour palette, well-staged shots, and some clever if pulpy plot devices. Characters range from sympathetic to one-note, which is probably better than most college-kid-horror films.
What is probably most striking about the film is the reaction it's solicited from audiences. For many of the negative reviews read as though they were written by the villains of the film itself. Something to think about, hmm?
