Friendship can be complicated. Sometimes, the push and pull of ideas disrupt the fabric of one's relationship with another, often upended by disagreements over mundane details. Playwright and director Martin McDonagh seems to know this concept well, as he brings his brand of dark comedic sensibilities to The Banshees of Inisherin. A follow-up to his Academy Award-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, McDonagh returns to the big screen to reunite his In Bruges Irish actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. McDonagh paints a twisted and uproarious picture of two friends in conflict in 1920s Ireland.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
