Black Christmas

One of my all time fav horror films. Yes it's tame for today standards but it's pure suspense. I wish this film got more credit cause it's amazing. The acting is great the story actually has character development. The death scenes are good too. It's scary also. One of the best horror movies ever.

I am not into horror films but I loved this. It is a laugh riot. Marion Waldeman and Margot Kidder are just wonderful. If you have a bawdy, dark sense of humor you will love this.

Bob Clark's "Black Christmas" is a horror classic.It's obvious that it was clearly an influence on the slasher films of the late seventies and early eighties."Black Christmas" takes place in a sorority house.Most of the sorority sisters go home for the holidays,while Barb(Margot Kidder),Jess(Oivia Hussey)and Phyl(Andrea Martin)stay behind.At the outset of the film,we see a mysterious killer enter the house and hide in the attic.He then begins to kill the sisters one by one,with each murder being followed by a disturbing phone call.Bob Clark managed to create a startling atmosphere of total dread and fear.The finale is extremely creepy and memorable.The soundtrack,particularly the killer's voice on the phone is frighteningly effective.So if you want to be scared give this gem a look.Highly recommended.
