Black Christmas:

Part of the Enzian Holiday Series!

50^th Anniversary – 4K Restoration

Holiday movies are sentimental and uplifting, but surprisingly devoid of knife murders. BLACK CHRISTMAS—one of the most influential Hitchcockian slashers of all time—is here to help.

When sorority sisters Olivia Hussey (Romeo and Juliet, Stephen King’s It), Margot Kidder (Superman), and Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) find themselves under attack from a foul-mouthed killer, it’s up to police chief John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) to even the odds. But what about Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), the brooding art-school pianist? Could he have something to do with the mutilation rampage?

Black Christmas is a terrifying and demented holiday tradition that gets everything right. We’d expect nothing less from Bob Clark, the pioneering director of A Christmas Story.

1974, 98 minutes, USA, Directed by Bob Clark, Rated R

“Black Christmas is a pioneering genre film. If you've seen a slasher film, almost any slasher film, you've likely seen the tropes that Black Christmas created.”
– Jason Concepcion, THE RINGER
“Not only does Black Christmas provide real chills, it introduces devices - like the opening, which is shot from the slasher's point of view - that inspired John Carpenter's Halloween and countless genre flicks to follow.”
– V.A. Musetto, THE NEW YORK POST
“Black Christmas is still progressive. It could open tomorrow and be just as relevant today. The sexual politics and feminism is something that is a crucial part of the film.”
Moxie McMurder, HONEYSUCKLE MAGAZINE
“Black Christmas is a creepy and sly look at the terror involved in being a young woman, and it still rings true today for many, many viewers.”
– Jamie Alvey, MORBIDLY BEAUTIFUL
