Black Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas… a killer on the loose. Returning to cinemas over half a century on from its terrifying release, director Bob Clark’s (Murder by Decree) holiday horror, BLACK CHRISTMAS. It's time for Christmas break, and the sorority sisters make plans for the holiday, but the strange anonymous phone calls are beginning to put them on edge. When Clare disappears, they contact the police, who don't express much concern. Meanwhile Jess is planning to get an abortion, but boyfriend Peter is very much against it. The police finally begin to get concerned when a 13-year-old girl is found dead in the park. They set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but will they be in time to prevent a sorority girl attrition problem? A pioneer in the slasher genre, BLACK CHRISTMAS, is a frightening and anxiety inducing antidote to the saccharine sweetness of most Christmastime fare. Featuring a standout cast, including Olivia Hussey (Romeo and Juliet), Margot Kidder (Superman) and John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), BLACK CHRISTMAS is filled with stylish visuals, fiendishly inventive slaughter and unexpected twists.
