DVD Review: Black Christmas

In 1974, the modern concept of slasher films had not yet been born. Tobe Hooper’s classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was on the way to breaking every boundary the industry had ever known, and Halloween had yet to escape the boundaries of the classic monster tale, but the true standard in slasher flicks was set to splatter the screen. Black Christmas set the mark for the flow of slasher flicks that was to follow. Now 33 years later, Glen Morgan brings the gruesome tale back to life in both an R-Rated and Unrated edition of his retelling of the classic tale. Black Christmas is a slasher fans dream, a must have collectors of the genre. Morgan’s imaginative reworking will leave you screaming, squirming and begging for more.
