“Maybe you’d prefer a little more kick in your eggnog… This weekend, The Brattle has a 50th anniversary 4k restoration of Bob Clark’s yuletide horror classic ‘Black Christmas’ (1974). Though perhaps not as well-known as some of its contemporaries, ‘Black Christmas’ is one of the most influential horror movies ever made: It is widely considered the first true slasher film, setting the template for ‘Halloween’ (1978), ‘Friday the 13th’ (1980) and literally hundreds of other imitators.” – Oscar Goff, Cambridge Day
