10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made
9. Black Christmas (2006)
Talk about a fall from grace. The original Black Christmas from 1974 was an effective, well-made and downright unsettling movie. And while it may not have been the greatest horror film ever made, it's definitely up there. Not to mention the fact that it was one of the most pivotal catalysts of the slasher sub-genre.
Frankly, it's amazing how they were able to take one of the most important and influential slasher films ever made, and remake it as one of the most generic and uninteresting horror flick they possibly could.
First of all, this film embodies one of the biggest reasons why many horror reboots are so terrible, in that the film fails to create any sort of atmosphere or tension, and instead lazily throws as much blood and gore on the screen as possible, thinking that that is an acceptable substitute. It certainly doesn't help that the acting, direction and effects are mediocre at best.
Nothing that made the original Black Christmas such an icon is present in this reboot. What we got instead was a dull film that features absolutely nothing worthy of note and certainly does not deserve its title.
