Black Christmas

We watched this again recently and it occurred to me that this film has as much Christmas atmosphere/spirit as most Christmas films.  Meanwhile it's a really slick horror film with some wildly creepy moments and terrific acting.

Click below for a short trailer (It's currently on xfinity on-demand for "free"):

possibly...the sexiest 70's boys everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Keir Duella...in a turtleneck.
& Art Hindle...in a fur!!!! not many men can pull off the man fur, but Hindle does it perfectly & then some!!!!!!!!!

we met Keir at a convention. & he IS SO Cool & NICE. i talked to him about Black Xmas & had to straighten him out about which actor (actually) portrayed the killer's voice on the phone. Hahahahaha!!!! i cracked him up hard. he LOVED it.<3333333333

Same director as "A Christmas Story," but doesn't get as much love. :) I haven't actually watched it in a few years, so thanks for the reminder!

Rot said...

WOW. had no idea it was the same director and now that makes more sense as to why the christmas aspects of this film are so christmassy : )

Bob Clark also directed the BEST movie ever made...Porky's. HAHAHAHAHA!!! i worked with a chick & her hub would say that all the time. soooo funny!!! he REALLY loved that movie. so sad that Bob Clark & his son were killed by a drunk driver a few years back. sucha great loss. : (

Black Xmas IS SO Cristmassy & homey. i can't get enough of that movie. SO Gorgeous..ALL those twinklies!!! & the killer cam opening is to die for. Olivia Hussey & that crazy ass sweater. Margot kidder with the foulest mouth ever is LOVE. John Saxon SO butch!!! Andrea Martin IS a Gem. & that crazy house mother..HAHAHAHA!!! Honestly, one of the BEST movies.

One of my favorite movies, period. I watch it every year in December...and one of these days I'll do a double-feature of it with Christmas Story. This year, I'm seriously considering doing a Christmas day marathon of this film, Krampus, Silent Night Deadly Night, and maybe a couple other Yule-themed horror flicks.

This movie though...it's just the best! SO much to love about it, from the sets, costumes, acting, score, cinematography, etc. It's a damned-near perfect flick

i agree about the perfection.

just an amazing film.
