Black Christmas

I was slightly indifferent to this film; maybe because horror movies generally don't interest me as much as other genres of film. The female protagonist becomes convinced that her boyfriend is the killer - in desperation she kills him. Everyone thinks he was the murderer but the killer remains living in the attic. The characters were pretty humorous and two-dimensional for the most part. The protagonist's boyfriend is clearly psychotic, and this characteristic leads to his vilification and subsequent murder. There are some interesting necrophilia motifs with the killer keeping his original victim in a rocking chair by the attic window with a clear plastic bag over her dead face. He had a strange relationship with her, and was certainly the most unsettling part of the movie.
