Works more like a horror parody. Okay. I loved the original,so of course I was disappointed in this. I have learned over the years when viewing this movie to totally disregard the 1974 original because this one is nothing like it. The positive things about this movie is the following: The Christmas lights and ambiance is wonderful. The house feels cozy and warm. I loved the Christmas music as well.
Now on with the awful: the entire cast minus Andrea Martin!!!! OMG they are annoying as hell. Maybe it was the editing but why is the drunk girl just glaring around making ugly faces at the camera. Lacey Chabert,honey why did you play a part in this movie? I doubt her movie career will ever recover after this. The girls are vile,mean spirited creatures so you really don't care whether they die or not. Just don't take this movie seriously,and take a few shots a tequila and it will be a lot better. Oh and of course there are jabs at the Christmas season in general you can tell the producer has a thing against the Holiday himself.
