Summary: A horror gem
Review: Renting this out of curiosity (I am a devout HALLOWEEN fanatic), I found an odd movie that works quite well within its genre. Nice direction by Bob Clark (who ironically also did A Christmas Story, very popular on cable during the holidays), with the infamous "point of view" shots that predate Halloween. The music is fairly subdued, mostly atmospheric piano noise, paralleling Keir Dullea's character. This creates some unnerving tension. Margot Kidder is a kick. The murders are disturbing in that gritty style unique to the 70's. And that eye peering out near the end...it gives me chills and that doesn't happen very often. I'd love to see this movie come to DVD.

Summary: an amazing slasher film...
Review: I'm sure by now every horror fan has heard how good this movie is, and they have heard right. This is one of the best early slasher films out there, if not THE best.The thing that makes this film so great is the fact that it came before them all and was the first slasher film to use all of the conventions we have all come to know so well. In the opening, we watch through the eyes of the killer as he circles a house where a group of sorority girls are having a party. We heard his heavy breathing as he climbs up the trellis of the house and enters through the attic, events we have seen countless times afterward. Thus begins the film, which captivated me from that one scene and didn't let go until the powerful finale. From the first phone call immediately following that scene, to the killer's heavy voice at the end, this is a stylish and suspenseful film. As usual, lovely Olivia Hussey delivers a wonderful performance and so does Margot Kidder as a foul mouthed and drunken sorority sister. One by one the sisters are stalked by the psychopath and he could be just about anyone. Hussey even begins to suspect that her boyfriend has something to do with the murders, but as the audience knows, the suspects never end up being the killers. Full of weird and frightening phone calls, some great performances and clever dialogue, this is thrilling and truly original horror film, one of the first of it's kind, which makes it better than ever. This has been an obvious inspiration for numerous slashers out there, including Halloween, which was originally planned as a sequel to this film. This is a masterpiece of tension and a truly horrifying experience. The unconventional ending is also a plus and a very unexpected way to end the film. Turn off the lights, grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy. This is a definite must see...

Summary: Have Yourself a Bloody Little Christmas...
Review: During my Christmas break, I rented an old horror film called "Black Christmas" to add to the excitement of the holidays. So, on Christmas Eve I popped it into the VCR and watched. When it was over, I was shocked, amazed, and undoubtedly scared. It was one of the best slasher films ever made. I'd recommend this film to anyone looking for a few good laughs, an interesting premise, and the most scary (and shocking) ending in horror film history.

Summary: Black Christmas it THE horror movie
Review: This movie was on last Christmas and I was on the edge of my seat. Sexy stars Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey ham it up as the sorority sisters with a not-so-nice Christmas present...A deranged killer in the house! This movie is just as good as Halloweeen, which obviously was influenced by this. Bob Clark diercetd great, the music rocks, Marion Waldman is cool as Mrs. Mack and it's expertly written. I'm ordering my copy later this week! Go see!

Summary: A Holiday Treat for Horror Fans
Review: Black Christmas is perhpas one of the greatest horror films of all time and is set on a season utilized in many later films like Silent Night,Deadly Night. But Black Christmas was the first to try it. This film is loaded with scares and unique deaths for the cast. Definitely worth a look on holidays, it beats all those other flicks that come on TV every year!

Summary: Black Christmas (1974)
Review: I thought Black Christmas was an amazing horror film. It was a definate pioneer in the genre. While I watched it with several of my terrified friends, I thought of so many horror movies that had stolen little bits of this movie. This movie truly did scare me to a point where I checked my house before going to sleep. After watching, I immediatley put this on my top 10 list of horror movies. Olivia Hussey and Margott Kidder both give amazing performances. The other characters are also very unique and believable. The camera angles (including the killer's-point-of-view) were very original too.
