Black Christmas (1974) Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

Before Halloween and Friday the 13th came to define the slasher movie, director Bob Clark laid the groundwork with Black Christmas — a chilling, suspenseful masterpiece that transforms an ordinary holiday into a nightmare. As the festive break begins, the residents of a sorority house are tormented by a series of obscene phone calls that escalate when one of the young women disappears.

With panic mounting inside the house and a relentless killer hiding in plain sight, the survivors must confront an unseen evil before Christmas comes to a bloody end. Steeped in atmosphere and mounting dread, the film features an iconic cast including Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder and John Saxon and is presented as a landmark of psychological terror.
