Critics Consensus

Better than the 2006 remake yet not as sharp as the original, this Black Christmas stabs at timely feminist themes but mostly hits on familiar pulp.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com The entire finished product feels like it was just rushed out into theaters as quick as possible. Rated: F Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Watching it, I went from bored to confused to occasionally intrigued, but never entertained or scared. Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle For all its political positioning and explorations of institutional violence, the thing that makes Black Christmas most endearing is the strength of its sisterhood. Rated: 3/5 Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside To say Black Christmas is delicate with its concept would be a fib. This is a movie where there is no subtext whatsoever. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Greg Carlson Vague Visages Smartly, Takal doesn’t always do away with the most obviously “expendable” characters... Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) Quite possibly the most offensive remake in the past decade. Any attempts at story or entertainment are sidelined aggressively for the movie's inept preaching of it's blatant and mind-numbing message. 90 minutes of an angry protestor screaming in your ear Rated: 0.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Skeletoress Trailer gave away all the good parts, the rest was ridiculous. A bit predictable and kind of a depiction of the far extremes when it comes to masculinity and feminism. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/20 Full Review Angie D Typical, generic college movie, but with a nice twist at the end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/20 Full Review Sherry S It was ok. I like it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/20 Full Review Shantell Decent horror movie. Weird twist. Teen movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/20 Full Review krissy It’s started good but the ending was uninteresting and played with the idea of magic Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/20 Full Review First L I thought this was a family movie turns out it’s not. I still had fun watching it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/20 Full Review Read all reviews
