I had to make sure I hadn’t clicked on The Onion when I read this article on CNN regarding the forthcoming movie Black Christmas.
The article includes the following quote from Jennifer Giroux, co founder of Operation Just Say Merry Christmas:
“It's not enough to ignore and omit Christmas, but now it has to be offended, insulted and desecrated. Our most sacred holiday, actually a holy day, is being assaulted.”
This is, you know, a horror movie. It’s supposed to be ugly and offensive and scary and nasty and profane. That’s kind of what it is. Right? The preview makes the flick look to be a rather crappy slasher flick set on Christmas with blood and guts and gore abounding.
Why draw attention to the flick? Just let it die a slow and quiet death because it’s gonna sink anyway.
