Blumhouse and director Sophia Takal‘s new take on Black Christmas will be the *third* horror movie released with that title, and the second remake of Bob Clark’s slasher classic. Both the 1974 original and the 2006 remake were released with strong “R” ratings, but we’ve learned today that Takal’s Black Christmas is going a little bit softer with all the holiday horror.

Black Christmas has been rated PG-13 for:

“Violence, terror, thematic content involving sexual assault, language, sexual material and drinking.”

Universal is releasing Black Christmas on December 13.

In the new film, Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. One by one, sorority girls on campus are being killed by an unknown stalker.

But the killer is about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t willing to become hapless victims as they mount a fight to the finish.

Green Room actress Imogen Poots, Cary Elwes (Saw, “Stranger Things” 3), Aleyse Shannon (Charmed), Brittany O’Grady (Star), Lily Donoghue (The Goldbergs, Jane the Virgin) and Caleb Eberhardt (Broadway’s Choir Boy) will star in Takal’s holiday horror remake.

Takal (star of our V/H/S and director of Always Shine and the recent “Into the Dark” episode “New Year, New You”) directed a script written with April Wolfe.
