I’ll admit that the original Black Christmas was one of those slasher flicks that completely eluded me for the longest time. And I don’t mean in that I never got around to it, but that I hadn’t even heard of it until stumbling upon it last holiday season while celebrating with family. I was hooked from the get-go and ultimately baffled by how minimal it was in its overall approach.

Now, it looks like we’ll be getting a whole new remake — one that is set to make some serious mythology changes. Based on the new trailer, it looks like we may be getting multiple killers and even some weird cultish stuff.

Check out the trailer below!

Below is the official synopsis for Black Christmas:

“Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone (Imogen Poots, Green Room) and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters—athlete Marty (Lily Donoghue, The CW’s Jane the Virgin), rebel Kris (Aleyse Shannon, The CW’s Charmed), and foodie Jesse (Brittany O’Grady, Fox’s Star)—prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one. 

“As the body count rises, Riley and her squad start to question whether they can trust any man, including Marty’s beta-male boyfriend, Nate (Simon Mead, Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story), Riley’s new crush Landon (Caleb Eberhardt, Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle) or even esteemed classics instructor Professor Gelson (Cary Elwes). 

“Whoever the killer is, he’s about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t about to be anybody’s victims.”

So, what do you think of this? Are you okay with the foregoing of the creepy atmosphere and the grindhouse-like feel the first one gave off? Are you okay with the seeming story changes and the odd statue switch moment? Let us know your thoughts down below!
