Before he made A Christmas Story, the late Bob Clark directed Black Christmas.
Here in the states, early slasher film Black Christmas got the Collector’s Edition treatment from Scream Factory last holiday season, but the 1974 film has to date still not been released on Blu-ray over in the United Kingdom.
That changes, however, this year.
On November 6, 101 Films releases Bob Clark’s Black Christmas on UK Blu-ray for the very first time, the release packed with the same extras as Scream Factory’s Blu!
In the film, starring Keir Dullea, John Saxon and Margot Kidder…
“It’s time for Christmas break, and the sorority sisters make plans for the holiday, but the strange anonymous phone calls are beginning to put them on edge. When Clare disappears, they contact the police, who don’t express much concern. Meanwhile Jess is planning to get an abortion, but boyfriend Peter is very much against it. The police finally begin to get concerned when a 13-year-old girl is found dead in the park. They set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but will they be in time to prevent a sorority girl attrition problem?”
