Black Christmas (2019)

Directed by Sophia Takal

If I said I was surprised by the internet’s response to this movie I would be lying. It was depressingly predictable that the internet would do everything in its power to vilify a movie that the director describes as ‘fiercely feminist’ and the internet has not disappointed, as Black Christmas has been review bombed on just about every website. It doesn’t help that the trailer was awful and spoiled THE ENDING OF THE FILM, but that isn’t the reason why anyone is actually mad. Whenever you say ‘feminism’ or ‘rape culture’ the bad side of the internet rears its ugly head. But this isn’t about the online presence of Black Christmas, this is about the movie, which, unlike many of the people tearing into it on social media, I actually saw.
