Horror Queen

That’s what happens when you’re a sorority girl!

PLOT

A group of sorority girls on an unnamed campus are preparing for the holiday season with their chaperon/house mother Mrs. Mac. They’re plagued with obscene phone calls by a guy who uses language they probably couldn’t get away with in movies today, at least not rated ones. One of the girls goes missing and the others start to worry. They don’t realize that someone is sneaking around their house, watching over them and getting ready for Christmas.

TRIVIA

When it was first released in the U.S., it went by the title Silent Night, Evil Night. Later television broadcasts sometimes ran it under the title Stranger in the House.

THOUGHTS

I actually liked the remake of Black Christmas, but had never seen the original. The best part about this movie is Barb played by Margot Kidder. Barb mainly drinks too much and says completely random shit throughout the movie like when she interrupts the dinner conversation to tell a story about a species of turtle that can “screw for three days straight”. Trust me, that’s a fact I’m going to whip out at my next party!

Black Christmas is fairly tame compared to the movies made today. A lot of the violence (most of it in fact) takes place off screen and you don’t really get the chance to see much. It also has a pretty ambiguous ending so you can decide for yourself what happened. It wasn’t bad, but certainly not one of my favorites.
