The Attic
2023 It was morning. I was thankful. I am best in the morning. The sunlight streams into the parlor and it reaches the darkest corners of my mind, where the memories are locked. Not just memories of moments but of words, places, and time. Like Tuesday. The sunlight tickled the part of my brain that knew today was Tuesday. If you had asked me yesterday evening when the darkness started to surround me with that cool-pink tint November sunsets have, I never could have said what day it was.

BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006)
is an unfairly underrated holiday-horror schlockfest that deserves a widespread critical reevaluation, especially considering its Unrated Cut. Directed by Glen Morgan, the film initially received criticism for being a cheap, soulless, and forgettable remake, lacking any redeeming qualities. However, recent discussions and reviews have shed new light on its merits, making it worthy of reconsideration.
