Black Christmas remake???

Question

I can't be bothered going to see it, I know it will be full of cliches and I'd rather see the original first, but can anyone tell me the plot of the film? Basically what I want to know is who gets killed, and how do they die? I'm assuming Michelle Trachtenburg is the surviving girl, so what happens to the rest of them? Especially Lacey Chabert, I love it when they kill off the famous cast members in slasher movies, like Drew Barrymore in Scream, or Sarah Michelle Gellar in I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2, or Denise Richards in Valentine, or Tyra Banks in Halloween:Ressurection, or Jenny McCarthy in Scream 3, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Halloween H20, or Kelly Rowland in Freddy vs Jason, or Johnny Depp in A Nightmare On Elm Street, or Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th, or Eva Mendes in Urban Legends: Final Cut, or Joshua Jackson in Urban Legend. Pity they never killed Brandy in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, she escaped from the killer like a thousand times.

Answer 1

Well, alot of the people you mention (i.e. Kevin Bacon) were NOT famous when their characters were killed off. They only became famous later or were just starting to be known. As for cliches in movies, you MUST watch the original 'Black Christmas' as it is THE movie MOST of these cliches originated from! All the 80s and 90s movies, and still today, use the same cliches that appeared FIRST in the original 'Black Christmas'. So a remake of BC WITHOUT cliches would kinda be sacreligious! At least for Black Christmas: Bring ON THE CLICHES! see the original and I think you'll agree
As for who gets killed in the original, you'll just need to watch it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone here. I can say there's not that much blood. It's one of those movies that is 'so bad it's good'. Very campy. Very funny and witty. All the females in it seem to love a good drink! And you'll never guess who the killer really is because... well that's enough for now ;-)

Answer 2

I saw the 1974 original and loved it. The film starred Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey and Andrea Martin as co-eds who stay in their sorority house during Christmas break while the rest of their housemates leave. The remaining girls along with their house-mother are stalked by a killer hiding in the rooms. The house mother is killed by a swinging grappling hook. Another murdered victim is Martin who appears in the remake. Probably as the house-mother this time around.
