113 - "Black Christmas" (1974)

Published: Dec. 24, 2023, 8:41 p.m.

"Black Christmas" is one the earliest slasher films of the horror game and who would have thought it would come straight from Toronto, Canada? Well it did and it is iconic in its style and the dabbling of the plot where we don't know who the killer is. Who is causing all this harm? it's crazy beacuse even law enforcement can't even figure it out, obvious plot defect but the screenwriter makes up for it in the scenes where the man from the phone company is trying to ind the tapped line to figure out the killer. And we do and it's way to give us that suspenseful revelation is great. WHAT DO WE DO NOW? Great way to begin the third act and wonder if he's gonna get caught and if Jess is going to be the last murder? or is the chief of police going to the next victim. We don't know and we have this subplot where Jess' boyfriend who is obviously beyond disgruntled about not having a child and being chosen for a higher rank in the conservatory, anything can happen. The ending is great and is worth watching the whole film to just witness that part. This film is not crappy even for its genre, there are holes but it is fun to watch and very memorable.

Two and a half out of four tokes.
