Black Christmas (2019)
No remake or reboot could ever top the 1974 original, but this most recent Black Christmas fares far better than the 2006 attempt, and taken on its own it’s actually rather entertaining. Sophia Takal directed and co-wrote with April Wolfe, and they bring a feminist sensibility to this updated spin on the “sorority sisters menaced by a stalker over the holidays” story. Imogen Poots (Vivarium) and Aleyse Shannon (Charmed) star as college students who discover there’s something distinctly rotten about their school, starting with its murderous allegiance to the patriarchy.
