Black Christmas

Just days before Christmas, the phone rings—and who answers is the duo Hugo van der Ding and Martim Sousa Tavares. As has become tradition, they reunite to present Batalha’s holiday screening, this time with an unexpected touch of horror. Black Christmas follows a group of college students who start receiving mysterious anonymous phone calls on Christmas night. Far from being just a festive scare, the film is a cornerstone of modern horror cinema—and one of the defining works that shaped the slasher genre as it would become widely popular.


Screening presented by Hugo van der Ding e Martim Sousa Tavares.
