John Cazale boasts a brief yet flawless and prestigious film career, one that allowed the actor to make an indelible mark on history, despite being taken too young. The “New Hollywood” era, which hit its full stride with the creator-driven studio films of the 1970s, introduced audiences to some of the greatest screen actors of all time. The likes of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Gene Hackman all came up alongside one another in the 1970s, among other legendary actors who have gone on to become true Hollywood legends. It’s no mean feat to hold one’s own against these actors, but John Cazale did it five times.
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.
