Cast

Reception

A review at TV guide stated "This hybrid maniac crimestopper and hoodlum-priest saga is intravenously fed by an infusion of lurid sex scenes." [5] A review for the German website Action Freunde found that "There's also not much going when it comes to action, which is a shame, because it is actually one of Morneau's strengths. But a few tame car chases hardly get the pulse going, while the murder scenes are neither particularly hard nor generate much emotion in the viewer, as the potential victims are far too indifferent. At the end there is a somewhat useful showdown in the burning artist's studio before we quickly move on to the end credits." [6]

Billy is a fictional character from the Black Christmas film series, first appearing in Black Christmas (1974) as a deranged murderer who taunts and kills a group of college students during the Christmas season. Created by Bob Clark and A. Roy Moore, the character was partly inspired by the urban legend "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs", as well as a series of real murders in Montreal during the 1943 holiday season.

The terms off-screen, off-camera, and off-stage refer to fictional events in theatre, television, or film which are not seen on stage or in frame, but are merely heard by the audience, or described by the characters or narrator. Off-screen action often leaves much to the audience's imagination. As a narrative mode and stylistic device, it may be used for a number of dramatic effects. It may also be used to save time in storytelling, to circumvent technical or financial constraints of a production, or to meet content rating standards.
