Ok, I'm pushing 40...I'm a grown up....I can take it, I thought and headed out for a screening of "Black Christmas."

First off, the price of admission sent me to sticker shock - it's now $7.25 for an adult to see a MATINEE.

Secondly, this movie is just trash.  Has no, and I mean NO redeeming value to it.  I found myself rooting for the killer to hurry up and off the sorority chicks so I could go home and they could be put out of their misery.  Then there's the sex scene with the mom and 13 year old son, which, while basically implied (not shown), is enough to make one seriously toss one's cookies (she keeps the kid locked up in the attic after killing his biological father).

Who at MGM thought a remake of this was a GOOD idea? Do they still have a job?  I don't see how.  There were maybe 4 people in the theater to watch it with me.  I left a half hour in...and no one was having a good time being scared at this one, I am sure of it.



Loki:

Another "group of stupid people in a house with a murderer and only one leaves in the end" movie?  :cry:
They sure don't make horror like they used to :(

sodapopinski:

Its funny, during the trailer they implied that this movie is a new tradition.
How likely is it we will we see a second next year? I guess they forgot the crappy movie, made no money factor.

Ahhh, but they did get your $7.25

BTW AMC here in Ga. wants $9.75 for an adult ticket. And they wonder why I don't come to movies any more.
Sound in my house is far superior and I can pause when I wanna take a leak and if that wern't enough, I can eat dinner in my movie theater. 

RTSDaddy2:

MYX, are you sure that's not the after 5 PM price? I am in GA too, which is why I'm asking, and it was an AMC theater I attended.  This was for a 1:30 PM showing.

BTW, I kind of figure I only lost $3.75 - I did manage to sit through half of that mess.   :laugh2:

Loki, you too are right - nobody does horror well anymore, with the exception of a few movies.  The remake of The Ring, all psych horror and very few visuals, is still one of the best I've seen recently - that and "The Descent" (which I loved).
