Black Christmas - What was that about?

Now, I was recommended to check out Black Christmas.

Having done that, I must say I'm quite confused. It wasn't really my kind of movie. I liked the killings and I loved the phone calls, but the rest was just a pure bore for me.

But hey, I thought I might get provided with some history of why the killer is doing this, or at least just what the hell that whole Billy thing was about.

Did I miss the explanation, or isnt there one?

'Billy' was what the killer called himself, and 'Agnes' is what he called his female victims. I don't know if they ever explained what 'Billy's' major malfunction was. I'm refering to the original Black Christmas 1974.

if you didn't like the movie, you won't like it with an explanation.

maybe try using your imagination... ever read a book? its fucking exhilarating.

It was actually so boring and such a stupid movie that im lost for words. GOd damnit wasting my time like that... heh im talking about the new one. And im usally a very patient fellow when it comes to horrors and slasher movies, I can consider most of it to be OK but not this one. The line has been reached. :P
