Synopsis
A sorority group’s Christmas holiday plans are violently disturbed
by a sadistic, obscene phone call that threatens to shatter the
yuletide peace for good.
Their fear is calmed by the local police who assure them there’s
nothing to worry about, but when the first body turns up, the
depraved caller’s threats soon become a horrifying reality.
Slowly the girls are picked off one by one and a frantic search
begins to find the killer before their white Christmas turns blood
red.
As brutal in its violence as it is terrifying in its effect, BLACK
CHRISTMAS is a true horror classic that left its mark on the genre
for years to come, influencing such horror greats as Halloween and
Scream.
Now it is re-released for a new generation to once again experience
the sheer terror of the original stalk-and-slash masterpiece.
