Whilst I was continuing on anti-Xmas crusade what better movie then to cap of the festive celebration with none other than Black Christmas. I bought the DVD a while back ago assuming that it was the 2006 version but by looking at the trailer thank god I got the original version and not the 2006 teen trashy version! Not much over here that is new but you can that a movie like this was the one that would set the 'rules' for future horror movies and slasher flicks. The movie goes straight into the action and does not waste in any time , although it does tend to drift off in a few places the good part was that we introduced to a tense atmospheric moment which but the tone right again. There also some genuine creepy moments that stand out and the odd funny moment here and there . There are also good uses of camera which helps dramatically to its quality and really make this movie stick out. Olivia Hussey was undoubtedly the star of the show but having said that Margot Kidder was amusing and John Saxon's performance was worthy as well. To conclude although Black Christmas did not exactly make my skin crawl , it did however jump out moments and also the fact that it annoyed some bible thumping Evangelical watching this makes me more happy as I hate Christmas and this movie just feels like a kick in the balls to old Santa, one definitely for horror movie fans who can do with some decent horror during this 'cheerful' holiday.
BLACK Christmas: 6.8 OUT 10
IF THIS MOVIE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SKIN CRAWL ... THEN IT IS ON TOO TIGHT.
