I don’t think this slasher horror film, a remake of the cult classic Black Christmas from 1974, needs much of an introduction, as it is now rather notoriously infamous as a textbook example of a botched remake of a classic.
So, long story short. The plot in slasher horrors usually takes a back seat anyway and rarely amounts to much. So, what's going on here? Well, you know how it goes, a pair of deranged psychopaths — Billy and his daughter/sister Agnes (yep, it's
that kind of movie) — systematically and brutally murder a group of college girls over Christmas break in a sorority house that, ironically, bore witness to a lot of really fucked up stuff in the past, and just so happens to be the killers’
childhood home. (What a fucking brilliant idea to turn that house of terror into a sorority house, huh?).

Michelle Trachtenberg plays the role of Melissa, one of the more likeable girls that we are introduced to. She's also arguably the hottest of them all. She gained my sympathy when another girl got blackout drunk, whereupon Melissa took on the
role of a sister figure, looking after her and refusing to leave her side. Sadly, she's eventually killed off too after making the fateful decision to investigate a noise all alone. She actually puts up a decent fight though, she could've even
easily won - that is, if she weren't in a horror movie. Of course it seemed like a genius idea to her to keep attempting to unlock that locked window instead of beating the crap out of the killer whom she had successfully defended herself
against using a ski pole... Smh. She's killed with a skate thrown to the head from behind. Which must've been an intentional reference to the Ice Princess (2005) haha. '
Michelle sustained scratches to her legs and bruises to her neck doing this scene.
