I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's Christmastime, and the sisters in a sorority house are getting ready to go off on their various holiday excursions. Unbeknownst to any of them, someone has climbed in through the attic window. This can't be good, especially since they've recently been receiving a series of very disturbing phone calls from someone they've dubbed "Super Tongue". When a girl named Clare vanishes, the fear begins to build. Those who've stayed behind, will wish they had gone home this Christmas. Director, Bob Clark (CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, DEATHDREAM) has fashioned a yuletide classic of terror w/ BLACK CHRISTMAS. The mysterious intruder is creepy and menacing, and the obscene calls are truly deranged. Listening closely to them, one gets an idea of just what sort of person is making them, which deepens the sense of unease and coming tragedy. Jess (Olivia Hussey) gets the worst of the phone calls, and could be in grave danger. Her hot-tempered boyfriend, Peter (Keir Dullea- BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING) is a little unhinged himself. Offsetting all this, is a wicked sense of humor, exemplified by the bawdy, happily audacious Barb (Margot Kidder). Never without a drink and / or a cigarette, she can't seem to open her mouth, unless a dirty joke comes out! Amazingly, the levity only serves to increase the level of dread. Co-stars John Saxon (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) as police Lt. Fuller. A highly influential masterpiece of horror...

Black Christmas is brilliantly simple: a stalker terrorizes a sorority house. That simplicity allows it to really dig into the disturbia more specifically and vividly. The intensely unnerving phone calls. The repeated imagery of the plastic-wrapped suffocation. The blur of Christmas lights punctuating the dark scenery. It's brutal '70s horror, but not without some nice splashes of levity to keep everything fresh (the dumb cop is classic).

The movie was good, the only coons was that we don't get to know the characters much because most of them die off so fast. We also don't get to know who the actual murderer is. I just wish they would have worked on a better ending instead of leaving us wondering. Other than that, the movie was watchable, especially during Christmas.

"Black Christmas" is to this day one of the greatest slasher films ever made. Let me start by saying my favorite types of movies are Horror and Christmas movies. So I understand my opinion might be a bit biased. If you are a pure new age horror fan this movie won't be for you. The gore is extremely minimal and the use of jump scares are non existent. Instead this film haunts your core with it's realism. The idea that a crazy man has snuck his way into your attic and is stalking the women living there is intense alone. What makes that scenario even more frightening is there is no mention of a reason for this man to do this to these innocent college girls. The score is a top 5 of mine in cinema history. A great mix of horror and classic Christmas songs. The actors on top of it are amazing or a slasher film. You build a strong connection with the characters thanks to the amazing writing. If you are tired of the over the top jump scares and gore and would like a nice classic slasher to watch then look no further.
