WARNING: The trailer embedded above contains major SPOILERS.

A few months ago, Blumhouse and Universal dropped the surprise announcement that they were working on a remake of the 1974 classic BLACK CHRISTMAS (which was previously remade in 2006), and that the film would be ready for a theatrical release on December 13, 2019.

Now that we're three months out from that release, a riduclously spoilery trailer has arrived online to give us a preview of what this third take on the BLACK CHRISTMAS will be like.

Directed by Sophia Takal from a screenplay she wrote with April Wolfe, the film stars Imogen Poots, Aleyse Shannon, Lily Donoghue, Brittany O'Grady, Caleb Eberhardt, Simon Mead, and Cary Elwes.

Just in time for the holidays comes a timely take on a cult horror classic as a campus killer comes to face a formidable group of friends in sisterhood.

Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone (Imogen Poots, Green Room) and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters – athlete Marty (Lily Donoghue, The CW's Jane the Virgin), rebel Kris (Aleyse Shannon, The CW's Charmed), and foodie Jesse (Brittany O'Grady, Fox's Star) – prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one.

As the body count rises, Riley and her squad start to question whether they can trust any man, including Marty's beta-male boyfriend, Nate (Simon Mead, Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story), Riley's new crush Landon (Caleb Eberhardt, Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle) or even esteemed classics instructor Professor Gelson (Cary Elwes).

Whoever the killer is, he's about to discover that this generation's young women aren't about to be anybody's victims.

Jason Blum produced the remake with Ben Cosgrove and Adam Hendricks, and Couper Samuelson, Jeanette Volturno, Greg Gilreath, and Zac Locke serve as executive producers.

Check out the trailer if you don't mind having the whole thing spoiled for you and prepare to celebrate the holidays with another version of BLACK CHRISTMAS.
