Fearing Ray will ultimately regret transitioning, Craig refuses to sign the necessary papers as he struggles to understand why his child would make such a decision.

Black Christmas (2019)

Stream on May 31

Black Christmas is a horror slasher about a group of sorority sisters at Hawthorne College who are stalked and killed by a stranger during their Christmas break. After their friend Lindsay (Lucy Currey) doesn’t come home following a party one night, Riley (Imogen Poots) and her fellow sisters begin to worry that something more nefarious is happening on campus. However, what they inevitably find out is more sinister than they could have ever imagined.

After coming face to face with their unknown stalker, they discover he’s actually part of a larger underground conspiracy at Hawthorne College. Although this year, the killer underestimated the young women, who refuse to be hapless victims, as they fight back with all their might. Unfortunately, this 2019 remake of the 1974 horror film doesn’t quite reach the heights of its predecessor, but it’s arguably better than the 2006 remake that came before it. Black Christmas (2019) is streaming on Paramount+ on May 31.
