So I saw some ads for the movie Black Christmas and thought hey, another horror movie and at Christmas. Great. I knew nothing of it so I looked it up and found out it was a remake. And not the first. There was one in 2006 apparently. And that was a remake of an original from 1974.
Funny how the reviews steeply decline with each remake. But this one is another victim of Hollywood's agenda to remake and ruin every classic we hold dear by either just replacing the lead male cast with females or in movies that already have lead female characters, load up the plot and dialogue with so much ultra feminist 'girl power' bullshit that not even their target audiences (young women) want to go see them. The numbers prove it.
They ruined Ghostbusters and Terminator. They ruined Charlie's Angels and apparently this movie now as from what I read the original was a good horror movie. These are just four examples of many more shitty remake movies that have been ruined by either just swapping out the male leads for females or having such a strong message that men are evil and women are good.
Needless to say I'll pass on this. I barely ever go to the theatre anyway. On that note it's because most movies over the past 10-15 years have been utter shit anyway. A big part of that is pushing this stupid agenda and pussifying everything. Would a movie as good as Terminator 2 ever be allowed to come out today? Not a chance. There's too much swearing, high quality (not CGI) action, story, themes that make people uncomfortable, emotion, a general rebellion against the system,, etc. Etc. For today's audiences.
