In the 70's, the boy Billy is born with yellow skin due to a lever disease and his dysfunctional mother rejects him. Later he witnesses his mother and her lover killing his beloved father and burying him in the basement of their house, and he is locked in the attic alone along his childhood. When he is a teenager, he is sexually abused by his mother and she has a baby girl called Agnes. During Christmas, the deranged Billy escapes from his imprisonment, kills his mother and stepfather and blinds one eye of Agnes. He is declared insane and his sister is sent to an orphanage. In the present days, Billy escapes from the Clark Sanatorium to spend Christmas with his family. Meanwhile, his former house is the Delta Alpha Kappa sorority house in the campus of the Clement University, and the housemother (Andrea Martin) and the sisters Kelli Presley (Katie Cassidy), Dana (Lacey Chabert), Lauren Hannon (Crystal Lowe), Megan (Jessica Harmon), Heather (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Megan Helms (Jessica Harmon), Melissa (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Eve Agnew (Kathleen Kole) are preparing the house for Christmas party in a stormy night while Clair Crosby (Leela Savasta) is in her room writing a card to bury the hatchet with her sister. When three sisters vanish, the others receive weird phone calls and believe something is wrong, but they find that they are trapped in the location.
"Black Christmas" is another forgettable slasher with a collection of clichés. The attitudes and lines of the characters are always stupid and senseless, splitting the group of survivors to be slaughtered in the next scene. The viewer has the sensation of déjà vu, not because it is a remake of a 1974 movie, but due to the lack of originality and predictability of the story. However, the cinematography and the set decoration give a great atmosphere with the contrast of the colorful Christmas decoration and lightning and the deaths and the sinister attic where Billy lived. My vote is five.
