"Creepy Horror"
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is a perfect example of good old creepy horror film. Made 4 years before "Halloween", one cant help but think maybe this might be the missing link between "Psycho" and "Halloween". It has all the things needed to be a slasher flick, mysterious killer, big old house, pretty girls, and of course plenty of sharp objects. It's a great movie to have if your a true horror fan and the fact that it's Christmas almost seems like a coincidence, atleast in this movie. And is also jam-packed with lots of special features with plenty of interviews and recently uncovered scenes. I bought this movie around the time it came out and am still enjoying it.
Also this might come as a surprise but the director of this film, Bob Clark, was also the writter and director of "A Christmas Story".

Instant Classic

There is a reason why Black Christmas has lasted so long. It predates Halloween and Friday the 13th by several years as it is an early inspiration for the later rise of "slasher" films. It uses innovative camera tricks and gives us the killer's POV. And it takes the sacred holiday of Christmas and interjects it with real-life morality conflicts of its characters.
The transfer on this edition is great, and is coupled with some great features. A 20-minute candid interview with Margot Kidder stands out. Also, a documentary featuring remembrances from the cast and crew is quite informative. Top it off with a new 5.1 mix, and you have a nice blu-ray bundle. Great to add to your collection!

Classic Horror Film

There isn't much that can be said about this film that hasn't been said before, so just buy it. Great slasher film, which some say inspired John Carpenter's Halloween. Definitely deserves 5 star, not 1 star because someone thought this was the dreadful 2006 remake (it does clearly say this is the original version).

Surprisingly Really Good

I didn't expect this to be decent. I didn't know what to think about it. But i sat down and watched it and wonder how this movie is not well known. It is a very creepy movie that effects you. The movie also has some pretty funny parts in it but all in all very disturbing. If you are into movies like Friday the 13th or Halloween then defiantly give this one a watch. If you are into movies like Saw and Hostel then this isn't the movie for you. Its somewhat slow and has not that much blood content.

Best Slasher flick!

This is my personal favorite slasher flicks I feel it beats Halloween, Friday the 13th, Terror Train etc. It did 1st person kills four years before Halloween and it has the best cinematography I've ever seen in a slasher flick. The film is not only superbly made it is extremely scary! The entire film I was shaking and on the edge of my seat. Any true horror fan must check this film out.

If you love horror I would highly recommend picking up a copy of this film. It has a talented cast and stunning HD picture. The 1974 film looks like it was recently shot. Great plot and iconic killer. John Saxon is amazing and features two scream queens. Over 2 hours of special features. 5/5 Make sure you pick up your copy today!

One of the best horror flicks

This is one of the all time best horror movies - up there with Halloween and the original Psycho. It's just plain scary...not the best acting or cinematography although the scenes in the attic are haunting, it's just a great horror flick.

A fun horror film that is really more enjoyable than scary but if you are looking for a fun Halloween night film for adults this is a good place to dwell.

Wonder what inspired 'Halloween'?

Great sidepiece to 1978 J.C. Halloween! This is what inspired the original classic, and although no up to the same marks, it is a classic nonetheless.
