Black Christmas is often considered the first slasher film. I have even read a book which classified all horror before Black Christmas and all horror after, thus stating that this film officially dawned a new era of horror. This fact can not be ignored. Of course, it did not make as much money as other films like Halloween or even The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it is still a very worthy film to add. What is interesting is that, in addition to this, the film is surprisingly good. The film has an interesting premise and story. Plus, the acting is pretty good for a film like this. Even the killer (whose identity is never revealed) is intriguing. The film even has a little humor, which is interesting. No top 1970s horror list would be complete without this film. To be honest, I am surprised that this film is not already on the list.
