Slightly above average documentary

What Have You Done?: The Remaking of 'Black Christmas' is a making of documentary featured on the Black Christmas remake DVD (both theatrical and unrated). After almost completely skimming over how writer/director/producer Glen Morgan got the job of doing the project, it chronicles almost every aspect of the production of the remake including casting, directorial choices made by Morgan, original Black Christmas director Bob Clark's involvement with the film, the characters, the story, and the subtle themes of the picture. While most of the information provided is amusing and/or insightful, I have to say if I hadn't just finished watching it, I'd have trouble writing this comment later as there's nothing spectacular or mind-blowing here. It's far from a fluff piece, but it's barely above average for its type. Recommended for fans of the remake. 6/10
