How BlackChristmas addresses campus rape culture with help from a female-driven cast and crew
,” a slasher horror film set on a college campus just before winter break, hit American theaters just before the holidays. Many years later, a 2006 version retold the tale. Now, moviegoers looking for a good scare are in for a creative re-imagining of the slasher tale with the Dec. 13 release of the very loose reboot. “” looks to move the slasher genre forward into new territory by honing in on themes of campus rape culture, systemic misogyny and the #MeToo movement.
Takal says the film she most relates it to in terms of capturing the tone of the original film is Luca Guadagnino’s recent “Suspiria” reboot. Takal brought on film critic and screenwriter April Wolfe as a co-writer and the two got cracking on a short timeline, completing “Black Christmas” in about a year. Together they wrote from a female perspective, adding details like diva cups and the self defense trick of putting keys between fingers. These behind-the-scenes elements help make the movie female-centric and female-empowered.
The filmmakers thought these thematic elements could result in an R rating, but in the end they obtained a PG-13 rating as they had intended. For, this song, mostly written by Riki Lindhome of the band Garfunkel and Oates, was one of her favorite scenes to film. “It was really interesting to go to work and have your colleagues be primarily women,” says Poots, “There are many films where the male cast members outnumber the women greatly. It was really cool to feel part of a troop of women and be directed by a woman, doing a script written by a woman. There was so much femininity there.”
