Caught a free screening of this at Bookish in OKC. Someone said afterward that this movie was doing "elevated horror" 50 years before A24, and I have to agree. Honestly much better than its already good reputation.

I’ll always say it loudly and proudly!! Bob Clark is the king of Christmas. He gave us the cozy one you watch with your family (A Christmas Story) and the nasty little miracle you watch after they go to bed (Black Christmas).
