'Black Christmas' (abbreviated as 'Black X-Mas') is a 2006 horror slasher film, and also a remake of the Canadian 1974 film of the same name. It was directed by Glen Morgan, and stars Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, Crystal Lowe, Lacey Chabert, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Andrea Martin. The film score was the last to be composed and conducted by Shirley Walker, who died a month before the film's release. Both Winstead and Lowe reunited from their appearance in James Wong's Final Destination 3 and back as cast in here.
In December 2006, upon anticipation of its premiere, the film gained some criticism from religious groups due to its graphic content in a holiday setting, as well as the distributor's decision to release the film on Christmas Day in the United States. The film opened in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2006, and, despite backlash from some religious organizations, opened in US theaters on Christmas Day 2006.
