Black Christmas

Black Christmas is a 2019 slasher film directed by Sophia Takal, and written by Takal and April Wolfe. Part of the Black Christmas series, it is the loose second remake of the 1974 film, after the 2006 film, and follows a group of sorority sisters at Hawthorne College as they are preyed upon by an unknown stalker. The film stars Imogen Poots, Aleyse Shannon, Lily Donoghue, Brittany O'Grady, Caleb Eberhardt, and Cary Elwes.

Development of the project began in June 2019, when Jason Blum announced that he would produce the film through his studio Blumhouse Productions. Sophia Takal signed as director and co-writer with principal photography beginning soon after, lasting for 27 days in Otago.

Black Christmas was theatrically released in the United States on December 13, 2019, by Universal Pictures, coinciding with Friday the 13th. The film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, criticizing its deviation from the original film's story, the overt political messages, and its PG-13 rating, although critics praised Poots' performance and deemed it an improvement over the 2006 film. It has grossed $18 million worldwide on a $5 million budget.
