This is the second movie today that I have no clue why I watched, but I'm really glad I did. I had heard of this movie before but never bothered to seek it out until now. Black Christmas is notable for being one of the earliest slasher movies. The film primarily takes place within a sorority house, and the girls living there are unaware that a killer is lurking in the attic, who continuously calls them during the night. I was very surprised by this one. I'm typically not a fan of slasher movies. They're hit-and-miss for me, and there's only a handful that I really enjoyed. Black Christmas is without a doubt one of the scariest slasher movies I've ever seen. The phone calls are beyond creepy. Each one was so memorably terrifying. The cinematography also amplifies the scare-factor in this movie because of the low lighting in a lot of the scenes as well as the shots from the killer's POV. This movie even had a ton of likable and unique characters that made you really feel for them when they were axed off, and one character, Mrs. Mac, added a ton of good humor to the film. Black Christmas is a must-watch if you want an insanely scary and memorable slasher film.

9/10
