Black Christmas (1974)
Directed by Bob Clark
4.5/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"98 minQuick Hit
Black Christmas feels like a blade-forward slasher—cold, nasty, with atmosphere doing half the killing.
Full Take
Black Christmas leans hard into slasher energy, and Bob Clark keeps the tone cold without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. This one sticks.

I’m closer to the negative side on this. It just didn’t come together for me and felt like it never really found its footing.
I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
