Before there was Halloween there was Black Christmas. Film critic Mark Kermode and film academics John David Rhodes and Linda Ruth William will hold a post-screening conversation and Q and A to bring their distinct perspectives on this important--but often overlooked—milestone in the history of the horror film. Film critic Mark Kermode currently co-presents (with Simon Mayo) Kermode and Mayo's Take for Sony and (with Ellen E. Jones) Screenshot for BBC Radio Four. He is former chief film critic of The Observer, and his most recent book is Mark Kermode's SurroundSound: The Stories of Movie Music, co-written with Jenny Nelson. John David Rhodes is Professor of Film Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Cambridge and is the Director of Cambridge Film and Screen. His most recent book is The Prop, co-written with Elena Gorfinkel. Linda Ruth Williams is Professor of Film at Exeter University, and Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. She is currently researching women filmmakers in the contemporary UK screen industries. Her latest book is Steven Spielberg's Children. It's time for Christmas break, and the sorority sisters make plans for the holiday, but the strange anonymous phone calls are beginning to put them on edge. When Clare disappears, they contact the police, who don't express much concern. Meanwhile Jess is planning to get an abortion, but boyfriend Peter is very much against it. The police finally begin to get concerned when a 13-year-old girl is found dead in the park. They set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but will they be in time to prevent a sorority girl attrition problem?
