The Weinstein Co. just sent over the final one sheet for Glen Morgan’s remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS, and while the word around the campfire says the movie blows ass, I must say that I’m diggin’ all the marketing efforts they’re putting forth here- based on the posters and trailer, I’d say this flick doesn’t look half bad!
The final one sheet here is pretty slick- part THE HILLS HAVE EYES, part nasty fruitcake your aunt Edna always sends via FedEx. One question I have- has the title been changed to BLACK X-MAS, or are they just trying to be cute? I’m guessing the big red X is just more menacing than, say, a big red CHRIST… either way, they hit the jackpot with this one! And yes… even the cheesy tag line leaves me with a silly grin
So will all the marketing hijinks reflect the final product, or do we have another genre piece that looks awesome but falls flat upon delivery (PULSE)? I guess we’ll just have to wait until December 15th to find out.
