Wes Anderson’s The Rat Catcher is as mysterious and inexplicable as its title character, with a few unanswered questions and unresolved plot threads. The Rat Catcher is the third installment in a series of short films based on Roald Dahl stories that Anderson has directed for Netflix, preceded by The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and The Swan. It stars Ralph Fiennes as a professional rodent killer sent by the Health Office to rid a local hayrick of its rat infestation. Despite clocking in at just 17 minutes, The Rat Catcher is a fully fleshed-out character study of the titular exterminator, with plenty of hidden meanings to unpack.
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.
