You may watch the trailer and come away with low expectations. That was me, and I did not expect to be surprised by a movie combining slasher and time loop tropes. Alas, I was.
1978’s Halloween is one of my favorite scary movies. While I’ve watched it enough to neutralize any of the “scare”, it’s a film to be appreciated for its legacy. The look, movements, and invincibility of Michael Myers is synonymous with Halloween.
Traditional Christmas movies are fun, great even, but what if you need a palate cleanser? Enter 1974’s Black Christmas, a movie that created a template for future slasher films and provides insight into why A Christmas Story is not so innocent.
