Steve D It has a really odd tone that sinks this mess of a film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Soooo bad that it’s good! You get tricked with who the killer is! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/19 Full Review Audience Member 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? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Underrated at times giallo-like thriller with a great cult cast (many of whom were in LUST IN THE DUST). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
