Black Christmas (2019)
A refreshing change to the narrative
This film like many recent remakes has taken its inspiration from the original however has created something entirely new. While it not Oscar worthy it does not deserve the reviews some have given it (in my humble opinion). It's well made, the story is in keeping with the genre and the cast give good performances.
It's refreshing to see a female orientated cast and crew with an important message about toxic masculinity that not everyone is ready to hear. The power of sisterhood and our ability to overcome. You can sit back, relax and just enjoy this movie for what it is or you can delve beneath the surface and empathise. Either way it's worth a watch and it's definitely worth talking about.

Hilarious
Really enjoyed this movie, laughed out loud a lot. Well acted, liked the relationships between characters especially "Cheese and the Col". Type of movie to stick on with your mates. Doesn't take itself seriously but still well made so easy watching on a chilled afternoon. Will look out for what these guys do next

Man I feel old! But I honestly don't see why this movie has been poorly received. As a horror fan I appreciate it may not be for everyone however it was fairly well acted, good cinematography and character development. The story expands and places a new spin on previous LP movies which makes this one one of the better sequels in that regard.
When considering this is a lower budget horror the gore is good, effects not ott and if you accept it for what it is, it's a fun fright night film.

8 out of 10 for a film of this kind
So I'm scoring this based on my personal opinion, and classed it as a low budget. I'm not comparing it to any other "type" of movie to give an accurate reflection.
I watched it because it was fun, on sky and Welsh. Do I regret it... Hell no. Will it win Oscars also no. This is down to earth fun, solid acting, solid plot and well written. They've seemed to make the best with what they had and the end result is a high end low budget movie. I would recommend for sure but don't pull it apart and try to make it something its not... just sit back and appreciate the ride.
