Review of Black Christmas (Special Edition)

One of the best slasher films you've never heard of. Black Christmas is an expertly paced suspense horror film featuring a strong cast and an obviously talented and enthusiastic crew. There's an almost tangible love for the genre that seeps through into your living room. The music and sound-effects are top-notch, moody and ominous, creepy and exhilerating, while the camera seems to find the right shot at the right time at every turn. All of this works great as the script and film play with many of our collective fears and repulsions. Some here have complained about the ending, though I thought it REALLY solidified the over-all frightening, uneasy feeling effect of the film. If you are a fan of horror don't miss this one.
