Yeah, this is one gift I wouldn't feel bad about returning.

(I was so tempted to used that in the review...glad I resisted the temptation)

Sorry Patrick, if liking this movie is right, then I've never been so glad to be wrong.

I still don't get what is to hate about the film, it's just so unassuming as to kind of be charming.

THAT could be the problem. Horror movies aren't supposed to be unassuming. Haven't seen it yet (it's on the queue, though) so I can't say for sure.

Why not? It's a fun movie that doesn't take itself nearly as seriously as Chris implies in his review (the Oedipal flashbacks are played for melodrama).

This movie was fun? I must not have picked up on that, because I was bored out of my skull from beginning to end.

Seriously, I didn't hate the movie, but I certainly didn't enjoy it.

Also, I never meant to imply that the movie took itself seriously, but as I said in the review, if it's meant to be tongue-in-cheek, it still fails, mainly because it's NOT fun any way, shape, or form. It's merely dull and unpleasant (and not in an effective way).

Self-aware irony can work in a horror film, but nothing in Black Christmas works. It's just bad.

I have yet to see it, but any Horror movie with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michelle Trachtenberg,and Lacey Chabert is already years ahead of whatever remake is out with 1 hot chick from the OC or whathaveyou. Even it is a stinker its got to be easy on the eyes.
