Holiday Season Horrors! 50th Anniversary! 4K Restoration!
Holiday movies are sentimental and uplifting, but surprisingly devoid of knife murders. Black Christmas – one of the most influential Hitchcockian slashers of all time – is here to help.
When sorority sisters Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder (Superman), and Andrea Martin (SCTV) find themselves under attack from a foul-mouthed killer, it’s up to police chief John Saxon (A Nightmare On Elm Street) to even the odds. But what about Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), the brooding art-school pianist? Could he have something to do with the mutilation rampage?
Black Christmas is a terrifying and demented holiday tradition that gets everything right. We’d expect nothing less from Bob Clark, the pioneering director of A Christmas Story.

4/4 Stars! “influential horror classic…energetic direction and suspense savvy. Generally heralded as the first of its kind, Black Christmas may actually be one of a kind.” (Film Freak Central)
“From ‘When a Stranger Calls’ to ‘Scream,’ every great slasher film owes a debt to Bob Clark’s 1974 groundbreaking cult classic” (The Ringer)
“launched an entire horror genre…creates a primer for many of the slasher victim archetypes…fascinating character work, timeless scares, and chilling plausibility.” (Thrillist)
“a holiday classic and a film that builds horror’s foundation” (But Why Tho?)
*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
