Jessica Bradford (Olivia Hussey) and her sorority sisters are throwing a Christmas party before everyone leaves to go on break. But there unaware
of a madman is standing outside the house before climbing up the trellis and straight through the open window into the attic of the sorority house.
As soon he gets inside you know already shit is about to go crazy in there and one by one these people are going to die.
Downstairs the sorority sisters begin wrapping up the party as Barbie Coard (Margot Kidder) is chatting away to her mother on the phone. After
hanging up the phone she starts to join the party and doesn't realize that upstairs the madman is starring straight at her.
Finally the guests start to leave one by one, it is here where the girls in the house start to receive their first of many terrifying prank phone calls.
Barb who is tipsy tells off the prank caller and she starts to feel threatened by the madman who says, “I’m going to kill you.” before hanging up.
Many of the girls become frightened, but Barb try's not to show the girls she isn't afraid and starts to have a few more drinks and get the party
going again.
Mrs. MacHenry (Marian Waldman), a overweight alcoholic women with an shitty attitude stumbles through the door. As she starts searching though
the house for various places where she hides her liquor. While girls entertain Mrs. MacHenry, the madman takes his first victim as the girls are
dancing around with Mrs MacHenry.
Black Christmas isn’t a gore fest film its leaves you wondering while you watch this film "Shit did i lock the back door, i better go and check now".
Black Christmas is classed as a "Scare Yourself" type of horror, which I reckon is way better than a horror films you see now days, its plays with
your head. I can see films containing people or animal getting torn to bits and eating there flesh and sliced, diced with knifes but even to this day
Black Christmas still has the same effect on me like the first day i viewed it. Put it this way watch this film by yourself or even with a love one with
all the lights off with the doors unlock also and at the very end of the movie I DARE YOU to walk outside down to the shed in your backyard "if you
have one" and get some think you don't need and walk back to the house. I bet you wont even fucking step i foot outside your house and at some
point of this movie you will get up and lock you door (laughs) don't believe me well remember what i just said.
If you’re a true horror fan, there is a good chance ya already seen it and own it on DVD! Those who haven't seen it well usually suggest you’d at
least rent first, but trust me no need to rent this film just BUY IT ON DVD. Bob Clark’s Black Christmas is a true work of art and belongs in your
collection.
"Christmas is coming early this year. And it's murder."

Sing along: It's beginning to look a lot like -- bloodshed! Christmas is almost here, and a deranged, axe-wielding psycho is terrorizing a sorority. As it happens, the mad murderer also makes obscene phone calls -- and he lives right above the girls... The few remaining residents of a Canadian sorority house are celebrating the onset of Christmas vacation when a thirteen year-old girl is found dead in the park. Soon, it is discovered that one of the sorority sisters is missing, which triggers a terrifying chain of murders within the house. Director Bob Clark's (PORKY'S, A CHRISTMAS STORY) tense, effective film is a precursor to the slasher films that would come a half decade later, but never relies on gore. Olivia Hussy (ROMEO AND JULIET) stars alongside Margot Kidder and SCTV's Andrea Martin.
