Reviews for Black Christmas
Clark consegue crier uma atmosfera incômoda a partir de um fiapo de roteiro, sendo auxiliado também pela performance contida da bela Hussey.

This dark holiday classic ranks as one of the screen's very first slasher flicks.

From the director of "A Christmas Story," but don't let that fool you!
07/25/02
Perhaps frightening in 1974, it really doesn't hold up today unless you can forget the 12,000 films exactly like it, which is difficult.

Like Carpenter, Clark avoids graphic gore, focussing instead on suggestion and using careful mise-en-scene, editing and use of music to build suspense.
12/12/03
Generally heralded as the first of its kind, Black Christmas may actually be one of a kind.
12/05/08
Cold, classy, and straightforward, Black Christmas also has the advantage of good acting by the female leads played by Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey.

Corrodes jolly yuletide cheer with some cruel prank calls, sexual tension and sorority girl slayings.
02/16/06
Confused and confusing, but creepy
10/02/02
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.
12/01/03
A whodunit that begs the question of why it was made.
05/09/05
...a sporadically effective slasher...
12/30/06
The film still manages a good slice of old-fashioned suspense.
06/24/06
It's guaranteed to put you in the 'ghoul-tide' spirit.
