Black Christmas

This is kinda in the "good intentions but execution is a little wobbly" school of horror movies. A campus-set yuletide story as a sorority who's been defending a member who has recently been assaulted by a frat bro is suddenly overwhelmed by attacks from strange masked figures, this always feels a bit muted - there's a couple of good ideas and some reasonable performances here, but it's never quite clear whether it wants to take the ideas seriously or go for broke into a broad ranging over the top parody. And given where this goes, broader would have been better. Still I didn't entirely loathe it.
