A titillating nasty suspense thriller that has a string of attractive women slashed to death by a serial-killer operating out of LA.

It has a really odd tone that sinks this mess of a film.

It started well but the ending was silly and confusing.

This was a wild hair purchase in a bulk lot of Warner MOD discs, and I have to say, I had no idea what I was getting into. It's not bad, but it's more of a thriller than the slasher I mightve expected, but I have to say I really loved the setting of the phone sex call center, which feels like such a dated reference nowadays. Rental?

Am I actually the first to write a review of this movie on Flixster? (hah!) Bud Cort of Harold and Maude is in this and it is Divine's last film. Karen Black is in this too, I have recently watched a lot of her movies. If you read the synopsis it is about how you would imagine. It feels like a cop drama/investigation show. It basically is. We see the crimes. We see the cops investigating the crimes and we get an inside view of the people affected by the crimes. I watched this on free ondemand. Certainly hadn't heard of the movie before, but after looking at the cast I figured I'd give it a shot. It was okay.

A man dresses up as a clown and calls himself Bobo as he kills girls from a phone fantasy line. No need to clown around with this one, its not worth watching.
