Black Christmas

[triefy]

Ok, I need help.

I want to buy Black Christmas on DVD. What Release should I get. Region is not a option. Prefer Region 1, but what ever is the best. I read on Itsmebilly.com that the UK one that is in 5.1 is pretty good but I want everyone's opinion.

PLEASE HELP!

[Remicis]

I have no clue. But I do know where this thread should be.;)

[Franchise]

I got the Critical Mass release. It's nothing special, but it works.

[Neo]

Damn fine movie, as long as you own this beauty it doesn't matter what release :D

[Michaeleon]

Yeah, I'd say go for the Critical Mass release as well. I just bought it actually so I should be getting it in the mail very soon.

I hear the earlier one was in 1.33:1 full frame, while the Critical Mass one is a 1.66:1 non-anamorphic widescreen transfer.

[NCamp]

haha. I never understand these threads with all the different versions. If i buy a movie I just grab the one at a walmart or something. Why are there so many different versions

[atomic dog]

this is the one i got and it's really good.

Black Christmas (http://www.suncoast.com/Movies/Movie.aspx?v_id=V+++++5838&prodid=ECLD1269DVD)

I'm still watching my old previously viewed copy. I can't part with it.

[Miss Informed]

I got the Critical Mass Collector's Edition.

You just need to own it. That is all that matters.

Yeah, I wish BC had it's own section. So much stuff to talk about w/ that movie.

[Trickster]

I bought the region 1 version last year - It is one of my all time favourite horror movies - I normally watch it late on christmas Eve....

[zombie commando]

This movie is drastically overrated....I wouldn't buy it if I were you.

[Ravenheart]

Black Christmas is a great movie.Its definately in my top 10.I never get tired of watching it and Olivia Hussey is just so bloody cute :)

Since getting this movie i have only watched it the once,don't get me wrong i enjoyed it but it wasn't exactly shouting out to me to watch it again.However seeing as i'm talking about it just now i may well watch it over the weekend at some point.

cheers

[atomic dog]

i think i'm going to take someone else's idea and watch it right around christmas.

[triefy]

I've seen it when it was on video. My question is, can you only buy it on eBay?

[Franchise]

Nah, try Best Buy. I got a copy from there.

[tabbycat4]

I just taped it for a friend, I like this movie so much I watch it every year at Halloween, Christmas and New Year's:eek:

[triefy]

I couldn't find it at either Best Buy. GTA is killing me now tho.

[Bucky-lives]

black christmas is a great creepy flick. it is probably the best from canada, mind you there are a few others i am a fan of.

[Bucky-lives]

Zombie i just read your post. you don't like black christmas at all?
i am shocked....but of course i respect your view. is there a reason you don't like it? not enough gore? i am just curious.

[MrSandman666]

Black Christmas bored the pant's off of me a perverted guy breathing n moaning over a phone according to the BBFC website it's running time is 97 mins and 54 seconds.

[Annie]

Well, after reading this thread, I guess I know who the killer is, but I will try and see it anyway.

Since when did body count equate to the quality of the movie?
By the way dear, there were more people killed than just two throughout the movie. It runs 98 minutes total. ;)
Perhaps if you paid attention you would see this.

[MrSandman666]

I paid attention to this movie and it bored me to death I hated it roll on for the remake (it will be much better) than this waste of a DVD/VHS ect.

[InsomniacDown]

Black Christmas is a great movie. Definately one of the best ever.

SPOILERS:

I love it because you don't know who the killer is.

[tabbycat4]

Indeed that is the great mystery of the film. We find that the murderer remains in the house at the end of the film, the phone rings and rings as the unsuspecting Jess lay asleep from her night of terror. Little does she know it has just begun!
I liked that ending most of all, at first I thought it was heading the obvious route but nope we get a gut-retching twist at the end.

[Loomis 91]

I love this movie. It's one of my favorite horror films ever made. I special ordered mine at a used DVD &CD store near me.

Oh that was the ending. I was kind of confused. I thought it was Olivia Hussey's boyfriend, Peter. I thought he had some split personality, that's why he had those outbursts of anger like when he breaks the piano . Guess that ending wanted you to try and suspect. I didn't catch the ending though. I was watching it at 5 in the morning. But this movie scared me. I was watching it in my dark room. The part that creeped me out was when Olivia Hussey finds her friends bodies in the room, and she looks through the crack of the door, and the killer is peeking through and talking to her in a low and shrill voice. It was creepy. It wasn't one of those killer-jumps-out-at-you scenes

[Horror Kitten]

I was wondering if anyone could help me?

I was just looking online to buy the Black Christmas DVD - they have the regular one and the SE one.
Does anyone know if one is better than the other - or is it not much difference besides the price?

Just wondering, thanks in advance for any help ;)

[Jackolantern99]

I got this movie for Christmas, and I must say I was quite entertained by it. Not exactly a gore-fest slasher, but still pretty chill-enducing throughout. The voice on the phone alone would have been enough to get me to switch to AT&T...

I have to admit, I was pretty shocked when Margot Kidder was killed. I was sure she was the "main character", being one of the bigger names in the cast.

In other news, "Phyl" may be one of the biggest in-the-closet lesbians that sorority will ever see...

I just recently saw this movie, and that part really scared the crap out of me. This was a very good movie, especially considering it was pre-Halloween and came out before the slasher genre. I saw it on TV, but now I'm gonna be looking for the DVD.

[Trickster]

I LOVE this film so much.... One of my all time favourite horror movies.

[ITSMEBILLY]

I would suggest getting the austrailina version. It has all the extras of the Tartan Terror UK release plus a recnet Canadian Film documentary on the film.
