Notes et avis

This movie creeped me the eff out even as a thirty year old woman who has seen tons of horror movies. I didn't catch it as a teen when I was watching all the 70s and 80s classics, but it still made an impact on me. Maybe because I remember land lines. But mostly because Billy is convincingly utterly insane.

Its a sad fact that horror movies aren't made with this type of restraint and true suspense anymore. This film predates most slashers and in fact is the first slasher film (not Halloween). Today's horror films replace plot and character development with Gore and shock value which is why they so simply suck. Rent Black Christmas watch it alone, turn out the lights and I dare you to not be creeped out.

A great family Christmas movies. Stranglings, killings and a Christmas carol here and there. I love watching this during the Christmas season.
