The story follows a family on their summer vacation to a remote Swedish island where they discover a serial killer is on the loose but the locals have no interest in helping the stranded family of tourists.

I also don't want to know too much about Midsommar. I've seen the trailer and liked it so i hope to keep any info about the film far away from me until after i've seen it.
Haven t seen any of those movies, but they look more fun than horrifying.
Did you see 31? Fans seemed to loathe it but I really didn't mind it all that much, some proper gore and a few scenery-chewing performances that I liked. The only one of his I've seen that I wholeheartedly didn't like was H2.
I have seen that one, @Creasy47. In fact, I moved heaven and earth to get a physical copy of the film. I agree with your assessment.
I also like Lords Of Salem, but apparently not too many other people do.
As for H2, well, I've already said it: I don't treat it as a Haloween film but purely as a "Rob Zombie goes Bonkers" film. It works fine that way. ;-)
(Trailer coming later today)

But hey, Jason Blum is behind it. He seems capable of finding the right people for the job. Halloween 2018 was a successful "return" after several highly polarizing attempts. And since the 2006 Black Christmas is only memorable to fans of Crystal Lowe's body, I guess no-one will say this is "too soon".
I gotta admit, I was too smitten with Lacey Chabert to notice Crystal Lowe.
A. Why?
B. No way it tops the original. One of my favorites.
Indeed, why? For horror, I can at least understand that "every generation is entitled to its own batch of scary icons". That said, Black Christmas doesn't really introduce an iconic Jason, Michael, Freddy, Pinhead, Chucky, Leatherface... It's a sorority house slasher flick; one of many I might add. Its status is to a large extent built on it being the slasher that came before Halloween. Also, nothing wrong with teaching new generations to always seek out the gold that was dug up when their parents and grandparents went to see a movie.
Then again, for different reasons, it might top the original. I'm always open to the possibility that a remake, reboot, re-whatever can be the better film in other categories than, of course, our nostalgic love for the original. E.g., I think the '78 Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is a better film than the Don Siegel original.
Anyway, I'm always willing to give a "new" iteration of an established formula a chance. Black Christmas will be no different. ;-)
