This is a movie we've wanted to cover for a while now, but the chance had just never arrived. Finally, we get to share with you one of the bleakest Christmas movies ever made, the horror classic (and proto slasher) Black Christmas.
What works about this movie is how it so epitomizes the bleak era it takes place in and how so much of what is truly important has been lost to create a world that . . . is still with us in a lot of ways. A surprisingly frightening movie in a way you might not expect. It's dark but not a pointless slog, though the ending while leave your jaw on the floor.
There's really nothing like Black Christmas, even in the genre it helped spawn, and that makes it stand out even now, over 50 years since its release.
