Black Christmas is a 2019 American 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 Canadian film Black Christmas, 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. On the same day, Sophia Takal was announced as director and co-writer, and principal photography began soon after, lasting for 27 days in New Zealand.
Black Christmas was released in North American theaters on December 13, 2019 by Universal Pictures, coinciding with Friday the 13th. The film grossed $18.5 million worldwide and 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.
