NEW RESTORATION
Canadian filmmaker Bob Clark’s oeuvre somehow spans A Christmas Story, Porky’s, and this proto-slasher classic. A bunch of college girls played by pushing-30 actresses (headlined by Olivia Hussey and Margot Kidder) are stalked by an obscene-phone-calling psycho as Yuletide draws near. Clark’s use of POV killer-cam broke ground and the ambiguous ending set a precedent we’ve yet to retire. -Lee Gardner
