Not a bad movie, I have it on DVD along with a couple other older horror flicks. I love it when you can get three or four classics on one DVD for like $10.

i thought this movie was great..supposedly started off the slasher genre...i read on a website that john carpenter was going to do a sequel about the maniac escaping from the mental hospital on halloween...
sounds a lot like the movie halloween dont ya think
this is actually a decent film. It has a lot of nice touches, script and story isnt too bad, also the demented ramblings of the main protagonist are highly disturbing and effective. Quite a few famous actors , eg Margot Kidder(superman), and others who went on to make other sucesful films. The fact that you dont really get to see anything is effective. Also they make you think the killer is someone else, clever for such an old film. Also the camera work from the perspective of the killer was so shambolic it forced John Carpenter to invent the steady cam for halloween
Took "Black Christmas" in this morning. Not bad at all, and while I don't think it's underrated, perhaps its influence just isn't appreciated? Make sense?
It certainly had all the elements of an original slasher. Quiet killer, first person cinematography, kids getting knocked off left and right. "Scream" had a few elements of "B.C." in it, for sure.
Supposedly started off the AMERICAN slasher genre, Dean my boy...Mario Bava's BLOOD BATH -TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE- was the one to REALLY kick things off...

Your Italian horror film knowledge is so lacking! Good? It delivers more impressive kills than the entire tripe FRIDAY THE 13th series dishes up over ten films...
