Black Christmas

This movie was pretty good all an all, in my opinion. Better than the several remakes that have been made after it. It has a decent amount of pop scares to it. Pretty interesting and entertaining storyline to it.

I first discovered black christmas the last 90s early 2000s at a local video store and after the ending it stayed with me for awhile. it was that chilling. since i have owned a few copies here and there, even met actor Keir Dullea who played Olivia Hussey's boyfriend peter. nice guy. but when i heard it was coming to blu ray i had to buy it. the late Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, Porky's) directed this atmospheric candian chiller and features a great cast that went on to become famous in their own right. Keir dullea was already well known for 2001 a space odesy, olivia hussey had done romeo and juliette, margot kidder went on to play lois lane in the original superman movies, and andrea martin became a comedian and starred on the candian sketch comedy show SCTV with eugeen levy, john candy, catherine o hare and more. the film builds the suspense very slowly but from the very start your already sucked in. theres some great comedic moments and some very dark moments but the film never strays from its core. the ending is very powerful and chilling as i said and is a must watch for anyone interested in seeing a christmas movie with a scary dark theme.

Best holiday slasher film. One of my favorites, and one of the few slashers that is unsettling.

Black Christmas is a well written story that's well written

The first time I watched this movie years ago, I had no clue what the movie was about. I was amazed at the quality of the scariness of the movie, it had me on edge until the very end. Years later I noticed a lot of firsts while watching this 1974 movie. It is so well done and the characters are likable, I make watching this movie a tradition in my family. Excellent transfer from the Blu-Ray released years ago.
