Their fears are calmed by the local police who assure them there’s nothing to worry about, but when the first body turns up the depraved caller’s threats become a reality. BLACK CHRISTMAS is a chilling horror film that proved highly influential on the likes of HALLOWEEN and SCREAM. It might be over fifty years old now, but this seminal movie still retains its shocking power.

A schoolteacher’s late-night arrival at a hotel in the Alps without a reservation leaves him with no option but to accept the room of a missing hotel guest – leading to a sleepless night full of strange and uncanny occurrences.
