Black Christmas

Black Christmas (2006) is Glen Morgan's holiday slasher, ready to watch online on iFILM. It's the night before the break, snow piling up outside, and the women of a sorority house start getting menacing phone calls that nobody wants to take seriously.

Then one of them vanishes. The house, it turns out, once belonged to Billy, a boy his mother locked in the attic after a brutal family killing. Now he seems to have come back for the girls who took over his home. The cast includes Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Lacey Chabert.

This is a remake of the cult 1974 Canadian film that more or less invented the holiday-slasher subgenre. Eighty-four minutes of fairy lights, snowdrifts and carnage, made for viewers who want blood under the tree instead of sentiment. Stream Black Christmas (2006) online on iFILM.
