So we've all got our one and only Radio Times of the year and lovingly gone through it with the highlighter pen (ok maybe just me but you get the point)
What film have you gone, wow if I'd not seen that before I'd definitely be watching?
My recommendations are:

Christmas Eve C4 12:20am Black Christmas - horror about college students getting bumped off via a series of threatening phone calls.
Christmas Eve Film 4 10:55pm American Psycho - must see film.
Sunday 28th December Alibi 11pm Rope - Hitchcock. Fantastic as shot continuously on just three reels of film.

If Black Christmas is the original one, and not the crappy remake, then I'll be watching that ETA: Yay, it's the original version, and it already has a yellow circle around it :D . American Psycho is fantastic, but I have that on DVD.

Can't remember what films I've highlighted other than from Curse of the Wererabbit. I'll have a check.

I love Rope and have noted Pans Labyrinth on my calendar.

Indeed, the original 74 movie is a LANDMARK for the stalker movie....the first of its kind on the big screen, although a couple of slightly earlier TV Movies were the first real 'stalker' movies with an unseen predator.....
