Btw, avoid the remake at all costs!

I adore both the original and the remake. Its like they are both so different and amazing in their own ways.

Had they not called it Back X-Mas, and changed the villains names, I think more fans would have liked it. To me, once a film is branded as a remake, the actual fans think they should steer clear.

Which ruins the chances of seeing a decent remake, because believe it or not, they do exist.

And also, in the case of Black Christmas, the director of the original was on set and helped out the writers of the remake with what his version of the backstory was, and then the Final Destination guys just took it from there. And in all honesty, I don't think they did a bad job.
