Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

this is your typical 80s horror film. a serial killer wearing a clown mask kills women who work at a phone sex operating office, only an 80s horror film can get away with this i think now people just want "torture porn" this isn't that. this had the suspense i always look for in horror movies, who is the killer? there are three good suspects for that question and i love a good guessing game. the acting was very good, no one was too over the top or unbelievable. i give this a seven because the actors were great, it was funny as it was suspenseful, and you can never go wrong with a killer clown! for pop culture and horror fanatics like me there are some greats to look for: Karen Black who runs the operating service, Divine as the detective who is looking for a killer with the same MO as the killer Bobo the clown and Bud Cort as the weirdo who works downstairs from the phone sex service (we are also supposed to believe he is the killer) its a cool and funny horror film for anyone who wants something that doesn't need a lot of blood and guts for enjoyment watch this!

I seem to be on a slasher kick today. This one is about a clown named Bobo that targets phone-sex girls.Karen Black, Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner for Five Easy Pieces, Golden Globe winner for The Great Gatsby, and Golden Globe nominee for The Day of the Locust; along with Geoffrey Lewis, Golden Globe nominee for "Flo" are featured, along with Divine in his/her last film.At least this one had some interesting points of interest, especially Lynn Danielson-Rosenthal as Kristi Larson (no relation).Nice ending.

This was more of a thriller/mystery than a horror. Don't get me wrong, it does have its horror and slasher elements, but these come in more towards the end. There was a lot of unnecessary padding by the way of sex scenes which seemed to drag forever. The best parts are at the end when the killer is unmasked. And there's also the classic Haloween style ending which is quite cool. There are moments of tension when the woman is being stalked down a flight of stairs too.Overall though this film is nothing special and I wouldn't say it lives up to how good it sounds (ie. phone sex workers being stalked by a killer in a clown mask). Watch it if you love clown type killers, but this is not essential viewing if you are a horror/slasher fan.

A pretty routine thriller, but competently directed and relatively well-written. At first it seems to play all its cards too early, but it does keep some surprises in store. Some intense horror sequences help, but in the final 5 minutes the film resorts into standard cliches and implausibilities (killers that just won't die, forgotten characters appearing out of nowhere, etc).
