Synopsis
A Christmas of another color brings a killer on the loose.
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house a creature was stirring… In Bedford, several unsuspecting people are about to receive Season's Greetings - of terror.
Black Christmas is a stark and stylish horror/thriller that turns everyone's favorite time of the year inside out. Olivia Hussey and Margot Kidder star among an ill-fated houseful of sorority sisters celebrating the holiday season. Festivities turn fatal when obscene phone calls break the serenity and it becomes clear that a psychopath is stalking the house.
Predating Halloween and Friday the 13th by several years, Black Christmas effectively laid the groundwork for murder thrillers that would follow with its clever interplay of tension, shocks - and humor. Producer/director Bob Clark earned his reputation as a hitmaker for the first two Porky's and the celebrated Sherlock Holmes caper, Murder by Decree. Ironically, after bringing us the terror of Black Christmas, Clark went on to take a lighter look at the holidays with the hilarious film, A Christmas Story.
