[About 20 Years ago, Billy Lenz ed his family, chopped his own mother into Christmas cookies and enjoyed her with a glass of milk. He was sent to a mental institution for the crminaly insane. He final makes his escape one Christmas Eve and just wants to go home. But he discovers that his home has become a Sorrity House. And for 8 unsuspecting Sorrity sisters and they're crazy House Mother, Billy is about to get a new family and make this a Christmas they'll never forget...remake of the 1974 slasher classic about a psycho izing a sorority house during the holiday season. ]

I am not a huge fan of remakes but this one was pretty decent. It was a little silly with its plot line, but still its a great way to remake a classic. A great thing about this version is unlike the original film, we get to know the killer, how he ended up this way, what drove him to kill. The s are so gory and creepy, you'll flinch every time! Like the original Billy calls the house making strange noises. But he only does after he's claimed a victim. He uses there cell phones to dial the sorrity hose so they can hear the final screams of friends and Billy say "She's my family now...". They dont trace the calls insted they try to leave the house as soon as they can. But they dont get verry far. The roads are snowed out and Billy is only waiting around every corner...ready to kill, and eat the beloved eyes of his new family... "

"Black Christmas(original) 1975 Starring: Olivia Hussey1968 Romeo & Juilet), Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, Andrea Martin(2006 Black Christmas), John Saxon(Nightmare on elm st) [The few remaining residents of a Canadian sorority house are celebrating the onset of Christmas vacation when a thirteen year-old is found in the park. Soon, it is discovered that one of the sorority sisters is missing, which triggers a terrifying chain of within the house. ]

The original Black Christmas is still terrifying to this day. it startys off with a series of disterbing phone calls to a sorrity house from a strange man speaking crude and ual remarks. Later a young is found ed, and a sorrity sister goes missing. Her father is in town desprate to find her, and seeks the help of the sisters. The calls continue to come in and become more and more menicing. They are later traced and the s discover they are coming from within the house. This film set the "killer in the house genre" and inspired films such as "When A Stranger Calls"(original and remake) The only problem with the film is we never get to know the killer. Who is he and why is he doing this? Why did he choose to kill at this house, let alone this town? But still the film is effective and still creepy. of course in this day and age we've seen this type of movie many times before, but it still satisfies."
