| Olivia Hussey Black Christmas |
Bob Clark went to the dark side of Christmas once upon a time (he also directed the lighter holiday classic A Christmas Story) with this nasty thriller about a group of sorority sisters who are stalked and preyed upon by a psycho-killer who remains anonymous and is never caught, now isn't that terrifying??? The film was a box-office success. In order to get approved for its first-run release, British censors edited the picture a bit, though not for violence; the obscene phone calls the girls receive were deemed too vulgar for theaters. The skin crawl factor is off the chart, even by today's relaxed standards.
Trust me on this one, I saw it for the first time during lockdown it was so ick, that it is now my favorite Christmas movie! Hey, I like my Christmas tainted with some dark hues.
"Yes" I plan on watching it again this year, and every year.
Stuff that in your F#cking sock Minions!!!
