Black Christmas

IF THIS PICTURE DOESN'T MAKE YOUR SKIN CRAWL. IT'S ON TOO TIGHT. Before Halloween and Friday the 13th came to define the slasher movie, director Bob Clark (Deathdream) laid the groundwork with Black Christmas - a chilling, suspenseful masterpiece that transformed an ordinary holiday into a nightmare. As the festive break begins, the residents of a sorority house find themselves tormented by a series of obscene phone calls. But when one of the young women disappears, the disturbing messages give way to something far more sinister. With a relentless killer hiding in plain sight and panic mounting inside the house, the survivors must confront an unseen evil before Christmas comes to a bloody end. Steeped in atmosphere and mounting dread, and featuring an iconic cast headlined by genre stalwarts Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder and John Saxon, this Canadian classic is a landmark of psychological terror whose shocking ingenuity and nerve-shredding suspense make it one of the most influential horror films ever made.
