More like Woke Christmas. A pedantic, misandric lecture in self righteousness and social justice whinging.

Black Christmas (2019) is just bad. The plot tries to be a horror movie with a message, but it completely forgets to be scary or even interesting. There’s no real tension, and everything feels super predictable. It’s like the movie wants to make a point so badly that it skips over things like suspense, mystery, or even just good storytelling. Instead of a creepy, slow-build slasher, you get a messy, rushed, and weirdly lifeless movie that doesn’t know what it wants to be. The directing feels basic, like they just wanted to get through the scenes as quickly as possible. The cinematography is nothing special either—flat and boring, like a low-budget TV show. The acting is all over the place. Some of the cast tries to make it work, but the script is so bad that even the best performances can’t save it. The dialogue is awkward and forced, making dramatic moments feel cheesy instead of intense. On top of that, the pacing is a mess. Some scenes drag forever, and others rush through important moments like they’re late for something. The script is just full of nonsense, and even simple things don’t make sense. The score? Completely forgettable. The sound design doesn’t do much either, which is a problem in a horror movie. Overall, it’s just a weak attempt at both horror and social commentary, failing at both.
