The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast
TV & Film:Film Reviews
Christmas is coming and the first of the GBR team's Christmas Specials has arrived, and it doesn't get much more festive than this. Sort of.
First up is the original Black Christmas from 1974, starring Franco Zeffirelli's Juliet, Olivia Hussey; 2001's Dave Bowman, Keir Dullea; and the once and future Lois Lane, Margot Kidder. Considered one of the first slasher films, this was a template that many films in the genre followed, especially John Carpenter's Halloween a few years later. Ben loves horror, Catherine doesn't and Neal is just happy - but none of them have seen this, so how will it land?
Next up is the 2019 remake starring Imogen Poots and Cary 'Man in Tights' Elwes, which takes the basic setup of the '74 film, but updates it with a modern, feminist agenda for a slightly younger audience. The ideas are there and it's coming from the very successful Blumhouse production house, so will this be Remazing, an Agreemake or will we try to Unmake it?
