Gladiator 2 has been in development hell for years, but is now closer to fruition than ever, and sounds way better than it has any right to be. The original Gladiator, directed by celebrated filmmaker Ridley Scott, is considered not only one of the best swords-and-sandals movies ever made, but one of the greatest films of all time. Gladiator hugely influenced every revenge flick that followed, regardless of the period, but given that Russell Crowe's Maximus died at the end of the movie, Gladiator did not lend itself naturally to a sequel.
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.
