Black Christmas Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Based loosely on an urban legend, Black Christmas just may be the perfect antidote to the saccharine sweetness of most Christmastime fare.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Mostly, Black Christmas is too terrifying to be funny, let alone full of holiday cheer.
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
Just as frightening and anxiety-inducing as it was when it was first released, thanks in large part to the charisma of the ensemble cast.
Inverse
Gayle Sequeira
"Silent Night" plays over the opening credits of Black Christmas, a cruel punchline for a film in which a group of women are plagued by a landline's repeated ringing - phone calls from a pervert - and any silence is eventually shattered by their screams.
Horror Movie Talk
Bryce Hanson
Black Christmas was an interesting movie, but not the most entertaining. There were a lot of firsts in this movie, and much better horror movies have stolen from it to greater effect.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Preston Barta
For those in search of more "slay" than "sleigh," 'Black Christmas' offers a chilling experience.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
Bob Clark's Black Christmas is a masterful exercise in tension. That it happens to be one of the most progressive horror films of the '70s is just an added bonus.

Joe Lipsett
This proto-slasher helped to establish the formula and received virtually none of the credit. Quite honestly a near perfect film and one that dares to say the word "abortion" in 1974, no less!
Medium Popcorn
Justin Brown
I found all of the characters incredibly unlikeable and the writing left a lot to be desired. I also wish there was more gore.
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
I did not enjoy this despite its influence of some of my favorite horror film franchises. The character choices and performances were so out of pocket.

Although it's been 49 years since Jess (Olivia Hussey), Barb (Margot Kidder), and the rest of the dorm confronted the offensive murderer, the film remains ageless as its themes of body autonomy and female empowerment are more important than ever.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Black Christmas is one of the best in the endless cycle of slasher flicks, largely because it arrived before the genre got set within its tired and overly familiar parameters.
But Why Tho?
Kate Sánchez
...Black Christmas is a holiday classic and a film that builds horror's foundation for more than its kills. It is with us 45 years later because of how it establishes tropes and how it presents a depiction of being a woman in a real and authentic way.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
The editing is more butchered that the victims.
Thrillist
Jourdain Searles
There's no doubting that Black Christmas had all the advantages of being first of its kind. The film stands as the mother of the modern slasher. It was able to make its own rules, and subsequently created a template for the films that came after.
The Ringer
Jason Concepcion
Black Christmas is a pioneering genre film. If you've seen a slasher film, almost any slasher film, you've likely seen the tropes that Black Christmas created.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
"Black Christmas" is a smart, stylish Canadian-made little horror picture that is completely diverting.
Variety
Variety Staff
Only Marian Waldman as the house-mother comes across with any life.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Corrodes jolly yuletide cheer with some cruel prank calls, sexual tension and sorority girl slayings.
New York Times
A whodunit that begs the question of why it was made.
