The great thing about finding a film that counts as both a Halloween AND Christmas flick is that from now on I have the excuse to watch this twice every year. What an absolute banger of a time. Surprisingly one of the most brilliant takes on domestic abuse I've seen to come out of a horror movie, let alone a slasher! The cinematography is so playful and the editing could not be more perfect. There's a specific scene that uses a Christmas carol that is just...muah! AND its genuinely terrifying!! No better feeling than letting out an unintentional "Oh!" in the last 20 minutes of a film. Ugh!!

Don't take what I'm about to say too seriously, but horror seems like the only genre where people get genuinely hyped about the genre itself. Ya know? Like nobody is watching 'Manchester by the Sea' and going "I fucking LOVE dramas!!!" My point is, horror movies like 'Black Christmas' prove why people obsess over this genre. How am I supposed to NOT talk about this for the next week?
