Part of Holiday Classics

Holiday movies are sentimental and uplifting, but surprisingly devoid of knife murders. BLACK CHRISTMAS — one of the most influential Hitchcockian slashers of all time — is here to help. When sorority sisters Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder (SUPERMAN) and Andrea Martin find themselves under attack from a foul-mouthed killer, it’s up to police chief John Saxon (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) to even the odds. But what about Keir Dullea (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY), the brooding art-school pianist? Could he have something to do with the mutilation rampage? BLACK CHRISTMAS is a terrifying and demented holiday tradition that gets everything right. We’d expect nothing less from the director of A CHRISTMAS STORY.
