Black Christmas Reviews
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Corrodes jolly yuletide cheer with some cruel prank calls, sexual tension and sorority girl slayings.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This dark holiday classic ranks as one of the screen's very first slasher flicks.
Variety
Variety Staff
Only Marian Waldman as the house-mother comes across with any life.

Scott Weinberg
From the director of "A Christmas Story," but don't let that fool you!
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
The horror film that started it all....not to be missed
Eye for Film
Keith H. Brown
Like Carpenter, Clark avoids graphic gore, focussing instead on suggestion and using careful mise-en-scene, editing and use of music to build suspense.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
I wouldn't call Black Christmas some kind of overlooked classic of the genre -- or subgenre. I think 'overlooked classic template' would be nearer the mark.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
If nothing else, Black Christmas will always be remembered as the inferior older brother to Clark's other Christmas flick, the Tito of the Jackson clan.
Film Threat
Heidi Martinuzzi
Cold, classy, and straightforward, Black Christmas also has the advantage of good acting by the female leads played by Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey.

its progeny would improve quite a bit on the formula

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.
New York Times
A whodunit that begs the question of why it was made.
TV Guide
Although strictly standard fare, the material is elevated somewhat through Clark's skillful handling of such plot devices as obscene phone calls from the killer to the girls via the upstairs phone and a nicely handled twist ending.
Horror Queers Podcast
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!
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.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Preston Barta
For those in search of more "slay" than "sleigh," 'Black Christmas' offers a chilling experience.
