Kelli Presley



Kelli Presley is the main protagonist of the Black Christmas remake and the only sorority sister to survive Billy and Agnes' murder spree.

Biography
Kelli is strong, polite, and despite being one of the younger girls in the sorority house, very mature. She has developed a strong bond with many of the girls in the house and considers them family.

Kelli also has a boyfriend, Kyle, who tapes himself having sex with his girlfriends. Though no footage of Kelli and Kyle ever was shown or mentioned, one can assume some might possibly exist.

Kelli tries to stay calm even when she finds one of her house sister's heads and many go missing. Kelli and Leigh (Clairs sister) meet up with Kyle and decide to see if anyone is alive in the attic.

Kyle is pulled up and killed as Kelli and Leigh attempt to save him. When they get into the attic, they discover almost all of the house sisters bodies propped up around a Christmas tree decorated with their eye balls.

After a battle for her life in the attic with Billy and Agnes, Kelli burns the house down as her and Leigh escape. By the very end (in the hospital), Kelli notices that Leigh is missing and most likely dead and that Billy is coming for her.

Agnes comes for her first and Kelli fries her with a defibrillator in a fight with Billy Lenz, she ends up grabbing a hold of Billy and knocking him over the stair-rail where he falls and is impaled by a Christmas tree, finally killing him and ending his bloody rampage. After that her parents pick her up and take her home.

Trivia

 * Kelli's parents are never actually shown picking her up from the hospital, although in most of the alternate endings they do and in the end credits both of their actors are credited so it's most likely that they picked her up off-screen.


 * It should be noted however the the second alternate ending was used as the actual ending in the UK version of the film. That might explain why her parents are credited even in the US/German version of the film.


 * Katie Cassidy appeared in the series Gossip Girl, with Michelle Trachtenberg who plays Melissa in this movie. However, their characters never interacted on-screen.


 * Kelli, like most of the characters in the film, is named after a famous singer. In her case, it's Elvin Presley.
