Hello all,
This week we are starting our 3rd annual Holiday of Horrors witch is our annual horror movie review time. The whole month we are going to be reviewing Holiday theme movies.
But this year we are bringing back the Great Psycho Billy from the dead to review for Holiday of Horrors.
He will be reviewing a lot of movies and since we got a short window for Holidays of Horrors we are going too kick off with a review right away
So here is Psycho Billys review of Black Christmas (1974)
"If this movie doesn't make your skin crawl... It's On Too Tight!"
This tag line inspired a rash of Holi-Horror flick (Holiday Horror), in fact if it weren't for this film, Halloween would have never been made. On a clear Christmas night, a series of murders are occurring at a sorority house, mysterious phone calls believed to be pranks but are the mad ravings of a psychopath, who is willing to butcher those who cross him and all. Now, I love this film for it's on edgeness and filming style. The fact is it is like what I say, The devil you can't see is much more terrifying than that of the devil you can. You only see the killer for a fraction of a second, and that is a section of his eye. The killer is deemed Billy and is believed to have an accomplice named Agnes, although Agnes is never seen, only referenced. This film predates Halloween by four years, but upon release, it was renamed to other titles ranging from "Silent Night, Evil Night", it's U.S. release, to "Stranger in the House", it's U.S. Television release on NBC, making it nearly impossible to track down. It kick started the Holi-Horror craze and was the first film to have the killer inside the house, which would not be seen until When a Stranger Calls in 1979 and seem the second time for the remake of Black Christmas in 2006. But I will warn you that the film is confusing because you are truly unsure of who the killer is until the very end.
I give this film four jack-o-lanterns out of six for effort, writing, direction of Bob Clark, the casting of Olivia Hussey (Audra Phillips in IT and mother Bates in PSYCHO IV: THE BEGINNING) and the amazingness and creepiness of the film throughout.
We hope you enjoyed his review and there will be more to come.
We also are slowing making a new change to the site, we are going to have videos on it from youtube every month we will have a differnt set of videos
Some might be our own videos as well
We hope you enjoy holidays of Horrors and please visit our site mchc60.50webs.com we have tons of reviews and now Psycho Billys Holidays of horrors
