Black Christmas Reviews |
Arguably the best in the game, Black Christmas is nevertheless an awesome movie that deserves every bit of recognition it has earned. With great atmosphere, cool ideas, and the most manic killer I've ever seen, it's sure to leave you on the edge of your seat. [read review] --Craig Atchison (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Average slasher entry has some strange plotting and moves somewhat slow making it minimally enjoyable. However you have to give it an 'A' for effort. ... A must for slasher fans just because it helped create such genre standards as looking through the killer's eyes. [read review]  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)

But all in all, this is an absolute must see and undeniably the finest Christmas fear film ever made -- way better than any of the "Silent Night Deadly Night" filmes. [read review] -- (eSplatter.com)

There are two things that make Black Christmas different from any number of eighties slasher films: 1) it invented the style they used, and 2) it's smarter than most of them. [read review] 62/100 --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
The chilling conclusion restores the movie's overall rep, however, proving again that first and last impressions last longest. [read review]  -- (slasherama.com)
