"Desperate Christmas Eve": A remake of the 1974 horror film of the same name [Black Christmas]. The

plot is

only five years old, Billy (Kanan Weber), but he brutally witnessed the brutal murder of his biological father by his mother and his lover. The whole process. And afterwards, she was stuffed into the dark attic by her mother and suffered endless abuse from her stepfather. A few years later, under the trend of anger and despair, the strong Billy desperately escaped from the trap of two ferocious adults. As an adult, Billy (Robert Mann) has undergone tremendous changes both physically and psychologically after suffering endless torture. It's the time when Christmas Eve is approaching. The "brave" Billy walked through the sky and personally sent his mother and stepfather to hell brutally. And it disappeared in people's memory for a long time. Now, another year of Christmas is coming. In the big house of Billy’s back then, several young and beautiful female college students have been moved into the house: Kelly (Katy Cassidy), Dinah (Lacy Chabert), Lauren (Chrissy Chabert) Tell Law), Megan (Jessica Harmon), Heather (Mary Elizabeth Winsted), Melissa (Michel Tratzenberg), and their house The off-campus dormitory where Ms. Jian Mai lives together. During this Christmas holiday, they received continuous harassment and intimidation from unknown and mysterious calls. First, one of the girls disappeared, and the other girls encountered unexpected events one after another. No one could predict who the next victim would be. The night of Christmas Carnival that was supposed to be warm and happy was invisibly cast a shadow of terror by the constant killing. In the precarious house, all female students will face the most terrifying Christmas Eve...

Behind the scenes

Nowadays, the development trend of various periods in Hollywood has fixed the "blooming period" of the once-popular horror genre to the spring and winter seasons of each year. However, plagued by the script famine that has been unresolved for years, Hollywood filmmakers are looking for "materials" that can be reproduced in large numbers, whether horizontal or vertical. As long as someone buys it, Hollywood will never Soft hands. The "The Grudge" series, the "Midnight Spirit" series, or the "Damn" series from East Asia have all become successful models of its horizontal remake. The vertical ones are represented by "Exorcist" and "Zombie Trilogy". Moreover, there has been a growing trend in recent years. And the quality of the remake is also uneven: the "Ghost Cry, God Howl" and "Horror Wax Museum" that once clamored for a while last year were not as exciting as the clamor described in the clamor, and it made people scream. The urge to curse. And this year's "Obstacle 666" and "The Wicker Man" are also unable to get rid of the dilemma of inferior quality. In such an unpleasant environment, the film just squeezed into the Christmas file with a fairly pleasing title, which is enough to see the boldness and self-confidence of the film. The remake of the film of the same name since 1974, "Desperate Christmas Eve", is not a product of Americans, but a product of its neighbors, Canadians... A

brief

commentary on the film. "The brand. The ruthless comparison of the previous work and the lack of suspense at the end of the story seem to have made its appeal to the audience at a discount. However, looking at it from another angle may also increase the relative sentiment of those "pro" For this film, an old-fashioned horror film whose mystery has been revealed to the world, it seems that the audience has become too interested in the moldy theme of "childhood shadows make perverted killers". However, the new work relies on the all-round packaging of the updated film production technology decades later to create more tricks in the gimmick of the film. I believe that at this point, the film can at least be used as a snack for the audience to spend their leisure time on weekends.
