Black Christmas earns a 9/10 woke score by centering its entire plot on systemic misogyny, rape culture, and toxic masculinity as the killer's core motivation. Skip it if you want horror instead of overt progressive lectures on patriarchy and female empowerment.
The 2019 Black Christmas remake centers its entire premise on progressive ideological themes of systemic misogyny, rape culture, toxic masculinity, and female empowerment against patriarchy.
The plot follows sorority sisters, including rape survivor Riley Stone and her activist friend Kris Waterson, who uncover and battle a fraternity conspiracy using black magic to possess pledges and murder women deemed 'unruly' for challenging male dominance; the women literally smash the founder's bust symbolizing patriarchal control and burn the frat house. Director Sophia Takal explicitly described the film as 'fiercely feminist,' aiming to capture 'what it feels like to be a woman in 2019' amid #MeToo, with the killer embodying 'misogyny' as an unstoppable abstraction, and prioritized accessibility for young women to discuss sexual assault.
