I never saw the remake of " Black Christmas," but I have found through personal experience that the original is usualy better then any remake.
"The Wicker Man," is a whole other kettle of fish. I did enjoy the remake in as much as the cinematography was great and had a few odd twists and turns, but it was not true to form. The remake of "The Wicker Man" was actualy a combination of two stories, "The Wickerman" and the horror tv miniseries "Harvest Homes." They used aspects of both stories, whicn IMHO detracted from both original stories. The original "Wicker Man" was much troer to the story teller's intent, and I would like to see it on my large screan. The last time I saw it was back in 1982 when it aired on "On TV," subscription tv service. The tv it was hooked up to needed a new high-voltage transformer, and the image was very dingy and muddy, so the colors and everything were off, but I did enjoy the story.
