Black Christmas (2006) TVA vs Vivendi version

[rocknblues81]

Just saw this... Man does it suck. The pacing at the end is just terrible, and the script is mostly crap. The whole Billy and his family thing and how all of that plays out is just laughable. It seems like the kind of trashy thing that Rob Zombie would come up with. Although it is actually worse than what Rob came up with for his Halloween remake. A movie that I bashed endlessly in the Halloween thread.

Yes, I finally found a remake that annoys me more than the Halloween remake. As many issues as the Halloween remake has I do have to say that it is better paced than this remake. The backstory is not as laughable even if it is more cliche than what we get in this remake.

Granted, the kills here are pretty good and the movie actually does have a really good look to it. It actually does have a more Christmas feel than the original, but these three strong points can't make up for what is a terrible movie otherwise. I actually felt bad for the cast here. Honestly, it doesn't shock me that the director went into hiding after this failure.
