Black Christmas

Rating:
Summary: Quite gripping and scary
Review: This film was made before the groundbreaker Halloween and shows that John Carpenter may have lifted one or two ideas from this movie. They don't make 'em like this anymore. It takes it's time getting there, and some scenes may seem outdated, but the thrill is there. Scary fun.

Summary: The only movie to scare me since I was 2 years old!
Review: This movie excels in mood and atmosphere. Unlike recent slasher films, this one does not mistake gore for scares. In fact, there is not much in the way of gore at all, but there are LOTS of scares. The sound is the true star of this film. The phone calls and the eerie dissonant piano score are enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up! Interestingly, there was a plan to make a sequel to this film, and it was going to be set around... Halloween!

Summary: Total classic! Loved it!
Review: I LOVED this movie. It was one of the best horror fliks I have ever seen! I recommend it to anyone who misses seeing a movie that can actually scare you. Until this one, I had yet to watch one myself.

Summary: Classic
Review: After reading the tons of positive reviews on the internet about this movie, I started my own personal search for it. I tried to find a store in my town that rented it, but was unsuccessful. So, I finally decided to order it and I was NOT disappointed. This movie is eerie, creepy, and overall a wonderful horror film. Forget the disgusting Texas Chainsaw Massacre or overrated Blair Witch Project, this movie is a fear inducer. I was completely freaked by the sight of the killer's eye peering through the door. Buy this film. Five stars. Fine holiday fun.

Summary: Undoubtably the most frightening film ever made!!!!
Review: Black Christmas is a classic!!! Forget Scream and the much over rated Halloween, this is the best teen horror movie!!! The atmosphere of the dark sorority house is truly frightening and the phone calls outclass Scream by a million miles! If your a serious horror fan who prefers scares over candystore gore, then this is a must see!!!

Review: OK OK, This movie was great!! i read everyones words on it so i bought and i also have this thing about horror movies made in the 70's and 80's they seem to be more serious and up beat. But i gave this movie 4 stars because we do not KNOW who the killer is. I knew the killer would be still aloive after she kills her boyfriend but does anyone know who the killer is. We see his eyes only twice once with babrara before he kills her and when he was peeking through the hole...and who the hell is BILLY??? Still i got freakin scared from the phone calls. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..PS...i got pissed at the end when i did not know who the killer was...i thought they were going to show us but they didnt..hence the score of 4 STARS LOL!

Summary: Most blood-curdling, edge-of-the-seat film EVER!
Review: What makes Black Christmas so incredibly frightening is it's potential for pure reality. Everything here could happen EASILY! Well acted by the entire cast, this film shows its muscle by never showing the antagonist, and THAT is what makes your skin crawl, and causes you to look under your bed and in your closet for the next two months.

Review: Back when the previews for Scream first came out, my father told me about a little-seen Canadian movie called Black Christmas. Took me forever, but I finally found it in the local video store. My God, was it ever worth the wait! The plot is original, predating Halloween, and the sound effects/soundtrack are frighteningly eerie. The acting is good, with Margot Kidder stealing the show. This movie was the only one since Psycho (which I saw at 6 years old) to wake me up frightened in the middle of the night. And the ending chilled me to the bone. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Summary: I'VE SEEN THEM ALL.......THIS IS A CLASSIC!
Review: This movie made its mark well before Hallowe'en and Friday the 13th. Saw it first as a grown woman......saw it twice and the 2nd time only because it was re-released as Silent Night, Evil Night. Gave me serious nightmares. Expect it to happen again now that I own it. BUY THIS!

Summary: One of the best horror movies ever
Review: I saw this when it was named "A Stranger in the House" on cable back in the late 70's. I still think about and how it scared me then and now. I look for a long time for it in video rental stores but to no avail. This is one of the best in this genre.
