‘Black Christmas’ sets the standards for great horror
Whenever Canadian horror is mentioned in the world of cinema, one can’t help but think of 1974’s Black Christmas, directed by Bob Clark and starring Olivia Hussey. While the film was shot almost 40 years ago, the story is as relevant and frightening to viewers as it ever was. With characters that add depth to the slasher, themes and ideas that are still poignant today, and the movie’s ability to play with, and exploit, our expectations it’s no wonder that Black Christmas finds its way into Sound On Sight’s radar for our 31 Days Of Horror.
