Join us for December’s special Filmhouse Collective screening of BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974). Our one-off screening is the perfect Christmas-yet-not-Christmas thing to do as we get closer to the big day.
Both panned and adored by critics and movie-goers alike, this cult classic has remained in the public consciousness long enough to be ripped off (many times), homaged, and even remade in 2019. And if you’re a horror fan that has never seen it, it will seem both weirdly familiar and fresh at the same time.
The New York Times called it “a whodunit that begs the question of why it was made…” and if you’re curious about the answer to that question, then make a plan to catch our screening–heck, buy a ticket now!
It’s time for Christmas break, and the sorority sisters make plans for the holiday, but the strange anonymous phone calls are beginning to put them on edge. When Clare disappears, they contact the police, who don’t express much concern. Meanwhile, Jess is planning to get an abortion, but her boyfriend Peter is very much against it. The police finally begin to get concerned when a 13-year-old girl is found dead in the park. They set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but will they be in time to prevent a sorority girl attrition problem?
