The next film curated for our audience is:

Sisters - Dir. Brian De Palma. 1972.

There is split screen here, a series of Hitchcock homages – Bernard Herrmann is on scoring duty – and the peculiar sense of humour that reached its apotheosis in his next film, 1974’s hysterical Phantom of the Paradise. But this film is perhaps the first flowering of De Palma’s later obsessions and, tempered by a youthful satirical bent, his most interesting and personal film.

Black Christmas - Dir. Bob Clark. 1974.

Margot Kidder is back, in this Canadian proto-slasher film, inspired by the “babysitter and the man upstairs” urban legend and a spate of real-life murders that took place in the Westmount district of Montreal.

Black Christmas was a huge influence on John Carpenter’s Halloween, spawning the entire slasher film genre. Though I wouldn’t hold that against it. Oh, and John Saxon is in this film. John Saxon. You love John Saxon.
