Though it was only a mild success upon its release in 1974, the original BLACK CHRISTMAS (directed by Bob Clark, who would go on to direct A CHRISTMAS STORY in 1984) has become a cult favourite among horror buffs since the dawn of the home-video era. An early example of the 'body count' genre, the film also predates WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979) in its use of a killer making threatening phone calls that originate within his potential victims’ own house. In this remake, writer/director Glen Morgan takes the basics of Roy Moore's screenplay for the original to create an elaborate and almost comically disturbing back story for Billy, the killer who previously remained a mystery. A handful of sorority girls remain at their house on campus after the school shuts down for Christmas break. An ominous snowstorm blows in, isolating them. At the same time, a killer--who in this version escapes from a mental institution to return to his former family home--breaks into the attic and begins making terrifying phone calls to the girls.
Stylistically, Moore’s remake avoids casting the film in the ironic post-SCREAM or streamlined, gore-free Japanese-horror-inspired fright films of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Instead he makes BLACK CHRISTMAS in the style of a 1980s slasher film. The plentiful blood and guts will please fans of that era, as will tributes to the HALLOWEEN films. This, along with a soundtrack that eschews holiday standards in favour of modern pop music, plus a dim lighting scheme that relies heavily on coloured Christmas bulbs, combine to create an atmosphere of holiday dread in this fun update of what has become a horror classic.

In einem einsam gelegenen Haus möchte Kelli mit ihren Kommilitoninnen ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest feiern. Doch das Haus hat eine dunkle Vergangenheit. Plötzlich verschwindet eines der Mädchen - und mysteriöse Anrufe beunruhigen die Studentinnen. Der unbekannte Psychopath treibt mit ihnen ein heimtückisches Spiel, das bitterer Ernst wird, als das erste Mädchen tot aufgefunden wird...

Alle 3 Schnittfassungen des modernen Horror-Klassikers BLACK CHRISTMAS als Blu-ray 3-Disc-Box!

  • Nul !!!!!!!!!!!

    Je dirais plutôt un des plus mauvais films !
    Trop brutal, trop gore, trop violent et rien de subtile.
    Les actrices sont assez géniales, par contre, surtout les excellentes Michelle Trachtenberg & Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
    Mais pas de suspense, juste une suite de scènes chocs.
    Une fin qui finit bien et ça c’est bien !
    Car on ne sort de toutes manières pas indemne d’une telle histoire.
    Mais pas de jump scare inutile à la toute fin et heureusement… car présager une suite… ça, ça ferait vraiment peur !!!

    War halt alles schon mal da, und die abgedunkelten, hektischen Kills helfen da auch nicht (geschweige denn das verdammte immer wiederkehrende Weihnachtslied, welches einem schon nach 30 Minuten gehörig auf den Geist geht).

  • Goretastic!!!

    Ce film correspond à son époque, au début des années 2000, les films genre saw sont monnaies courantes, plus c'est violent mieux c'est, mais la violence de ce film dépasse l'entendement.

    La nouvelle version est certe téléphoné mais encore une fois, il correspond à ce qui se fait actuellement.

    Oui il est nul, et oui c'est mauvais, à se demander pourquoi ce genre de film existe

    Einer der schlechtesten Horrorfilme, die ich je gesehen habe. Unglaubwürdige Story und absolut keine Spannung.
