The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I like this Horror-movie very much, because of the murder is funny and scary concurrent. The script and the directing are very good.The spectacle is important in Movies and in this Horror-movie acts the most of the actors very good and realistic.Out of the Dark are a classic from 1989 and are that in soon 20 years ago. Out of the Dark are sometimes a cliché-movie, but are perfect in modern time. The movie are also very exciting, scary, funny, but it not too scary for the viewer.The murder in Out of the Dark is like a clown when he sneak and scare people.I can recommended this horror-movie if you like very exciting and funny horror-movies!

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).

Pretty standard stuff, serial killer dressed as clown terrorizes phone sex girls, yada yada yada. It is more unintentionally humorous than most though, and has some disturbing moments, so its not a complete waste. Also, it has Divine's last performance (not in drag!). Don't go out of your way to see it, but if you have friends over and need a laugh, you could do worse.

Lively thriller about a clown who stalks the beautiful ladies of an L.A. sex hotline that has a keen eye for the visual and a macabre performance from Cort, whom many may suspect as the killer...but...you must dig deeper to find the answer to that one.
