(Basket Case aside) I don't mind the idea of any film being remade, just like I don't mind the idea of any song being covered. But when I find out that Brother James is being covered by Offspring (the equivalent of what's going on in Hollywood with remakes right now) I understandably have come to dread the result.

The trailer I saw had Taken By Trees.

Plus I love how they give the entire film away in the trailer. Even the variations on the original's story. Good marketing right there.

I really don't understand how people can complain about all of these remakes and then they go and see 99% of them. You know they're not gonna be as good as the originals so why bother?

I'll also ignore the comment where someone said they enjoyed the remake of Black Christmas more than the original.

haha.

I'll take it all back if in the remake they show the mum running through the backyard with a severed penis in her mouth.

The original is fucking boring, and the script is weak, and it doesn't have Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

The kind of horror fan who bought out the entire vhs horror section of a video store going out of business. Yeah, I guess I dnt know much about the genre.

At any rate, I'm not actually comparing Black Christmas and Black XMas. But as seperate films Black Christmas is probably a 4/10 and Black XMas is probably a 7/10. So to me the new one is a better film. I don't know what kind of "horror fan" that makes me?

that's exactly what i was thinking when i watched that trailer. "oh, so in the remake their daughter makes it back to the house alive and then instead of the chainsaw killing they're going to bring out the microwave."

just another attempt to cash in 70's cult horror. it has worked with so many other movies and this won't be the last one. i don't really care how it turns out because i can't get bothered about watching remakes anyway.

I tend to agree with this. i wouldn't say either were that great, probably rate the remake at a five, but seeing as how I'd give the original a 3 It's maybe more a case of the remake not being quite as bad as the original. There's a tendency to look upon every horror film produced in the 70-early 80s through rose tinted glasses when it's clear that not everything released during that era was exactly golden. For every 'Basket Case' or 'Martin' or 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' there were a dozen 'Terror Train's.

I must be one of the few people who thinks the orignal Black Christmas is one of the best horror-films made (and obviously it's not nostalgia). I just think it's genuinely creepy (the phone calls, the killings themselves, the cold atmosphere) and I like the twist (or anti-twist). Modern films can't scare me like that... maybe it's because the older ones don't have lame, heavy-metal soundtracks, ironic post-Scream dialogue and crystal-clear pictures (I dig the graininess of old films). Second only to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me, followed by a group of not-quite-horror-films like Repulsion, Don't Look Now, etc.

To avoid fainting, keep repeating to yourself: 'It's only a remake.. it's only a remake.. it's only a remake..

Looks like shit.
