I have watched the 2019 film, awful film and now its even more awful when looking at the original.
The 2019 film tries to be a strong feministic piece but the only thing it really does is "men are bad, especially white men" wich sometimes can be true but how they present it, its not deep nor a helpfull message.
The original doesn't straightly point at men even if it does but only in small parts.
The 70s film is better in everyway, from the characters and story.
Black Christmas
If this picture doesn't make your skin crawl... it's on TOO TIGHT.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical descent into terror as an unseen predator systematically stalks and menaces a group of young women during the holidays. The film's greatest weapon is what you don't see, the mounting dread of being hunted in your own home.

Reviews
The call is coming from inside the house!
This is a first time watch, as I'm broadening my holiday horror this year. The phone calls were actually super creepy and unsettling, and the eye through the crack jump scare was effective. I love Barb's hair and her whole vibe. Not sure if this really has a place in my Christmas rotation, but a solid watch.
