    That was my only point, I liked it but I didn't think it was great. A 1/10 to me though means it's basically the worst movie ever.

    I don't rate movies compared to everything else. I rate on how many things I liked about it. I gave it 1 point for the gore, but that's the only thing that was good about it, in my opinion. I didn't like the visuals, the acting, the dialogue, the plot, the characters, the score or anything else.. So that's why I gave it such a low rating.

    I don't know whether to see this one or not. Pretty sick of remakes.

    It's a very loose remake. So much so that it hardly is one. There are just moments that are variations of scenes from the original put in there as homage. It's a completely different story with just the same killer Santa premise. I've seen it once and I thought it was a passable time waster. I'll watch it again sometime and I could possibly like it better as it does have some really good things going for it. I would have preferred a direct remake like there was supposed to be before. I'm assuming the rights to the source material couldn't get sorted out. The original is one of my biggest slasher guilty pleasures.

    If anyone's interested I wrote an extensive piece on the original. Just go to the 'Complete Reading List A - Z' section on my site.

    just watched it. It was pretty forgettable. There is one hot topless chick and a kill with a wood chipper that made the movie watchable for a lil while. Some good stuff here and there but I was bored through most of it. Nothing I'd watch again.

    From what I can remember, the original was just okay. I think I might have made it about ten minutes into the second before turning it off, only to realize that it was mostly flashbacks from the original.

    If my sis and her boyfriend get a hold of the remake, I might check it.

    I might watch it with one of my friends then.

    I'm curious since the director did The Aggression Scale, which was pretty good (always awesome to see Ray Wise).

    The original SNDN is one of my favorite horror films, so I'm off a few days I may try to sneak in a viewing of the remake.
