Review of Black Christmas (2019) by Shpostal — 17 Dec 2019
Expecting a macabre black comedy as hinted by the numerous trailers, I was disappointed to discover it was a tired old sexist diatribe with, no doubt, a bunch of horny underage frat rats in a frat/cult that was dedicated to the subjugation of women the world over.
To further its message, mind controlled frat pledges are out to invade sorority houses and murder as many "sisters" as possible. Lame. Real lame. But let's consider our average Greek student - I went to college with these creeps, and all I ever got and continue to "get" is that the Greek organizations are nothing but party houses, rape parties and a playground for ultra rich little **** who are grooming themselves to be politicians (GOP), bankers, lawyers and other such careers, while the women practice the art of being incredibly rude and snide to outsiders and spend weekends throwing up and not remembering what they did.
Then it's rich husband material for them. So, in a clash between a fraternity and a sorority, and tough luck if you were a Greek, you know how you acted, I would prefer both sides lose. In a way they do.
This movie is beyond cliche, wouldn't scare a sparrow, and its feminist diatribe is totally unconvincing and frankly very insulting to those of us men who are not misogynistic pigs. "Animal House" couldn't have portrayed a frat or sorority house any more accurately.
This is beyond Mystery Science Theater/"Sharknado" stupid. It tries to be truly scary, to make a salient and societal point, and just comes across as the kind of horror movie you might expect a bright girl in a Girl Scout troop to make.
Probably the worst picture of 2019.
