... girls real sister Liegh played by Kristen Cloke (Willard, Final Destination) shows up to add to the possibility of a new killer or maybe just a hot MILF for the older fan base to caress with their eyes and not feel too guilty because she's of age. Leigh is a breath of fresh ass kicking air and from moment one is taking no one's shit. She's the very opposite of the dumbass blonde that runs into the dark cellar alone when she hears an odd noise. I confess, she's my favorite character in the whole movie, when she first appeared in the film I thought for a moment it was Janice Dickenson, which would have given the movie an even larger camp status...but, after a few seconds I realized the woman playing Leigh was a really great actress and could no way be that crazy big lipped model lady.

From here on out it's a full assault on the inhabitants of the house. With some really awesome death scenes and great scares. I'm not gonna tell you exactly how it ends, but, some of the girls are allergic to sharp objects embedded in their flesh. The best, end all be all, 5 star scene of the movie is our killer using cookie cutters on his mother's back, cooking the pieces of skin, and then dipping them in milk before he eats them. YAY!!!!

Directed and Re-Written by Glen Morgan (Final Destination, Willard) in such a way that there's a certain bitchy glamour to all of our would be victims and a dastardly holiday feel in the sorority house that makes you feel at home...before you are strangled with a plastic bag. The production value of this film is so solid that the jokey atmosphere is absolutely taken as absurd reality. The tempo of the plot is firm without leaving you a moment to get bored and wonder when it may be over. In closing Black Christmas has become a holiday favorite, at least of mine. If you're in the mood for an unrelenting cut'em up babe fest pick this up ASAP and no matter what the box says...definitely "Open Before X-Mas."
