Just thought i'd fill you guys in on this one starring Cameron Dye and Karen Black.....very much my "Atomik-like" movie pick.

It's currently a free movie on ondemand, i watched it on there maybe 6 months ago or so and loved it's 80s cheesy photographer scenes, it's a thriller with a scary clown.

I know a SCARY CLOWN!!!!

A friend of mine had told me about this movie that scared him as a kid about a clown killing pretty ladies. I watched this one because it had Cameron Dye in it and realized oooooh this is his traumatizing movie! omg!!

It's totally more cheesy great then scary.....any thoughts anyone?

Karen Black........gotta give her some love.

Muffy.. you know I'm a Cameron Dye fan.. so I scooped this movie up off a bargain rack several years back.

Definitely a bizarre little flick especially the motel room scenes. Add in Divine and you got a creepy flick on your hands.

Cameron Dye is excellent in this movie. But if clowns spook ya.. viewer beware.

clowns are freaky to me..so i don't know, haha. that picture with the clown in the phone booth looks familiar, hmmm..

great post, Muffy!

I thought of you Ronnie with Cameron!! I'd never heard of it til 6 months ago haha If you girls check it out i'd love to hear your feedback [Smile]

like Valley said clown phobia viewer beware.

i so want to see this, but not alone ha. you guys should watch this one with me. [Smile]
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Ronnie.. I'll definitely watch it with you. [Smile]

Please be prepared to cover my eyes at certain points because the clown face killer in this movie is quite creepy. Still worth it for a good Cameron Dye role though.

i've always liked this one,i have it on uk vhs tape,muffy i never knew this was out on dvd,surely that must be a misprint on the back cover pg-13,i recollect this having its fair share of nudity & violence. i reckon you'd like this one atomik,if you like sleazy 80's thrillers atomik(don't we all) also check out double exposure from 1983 starring michael callan and cross country from the same year from director paul lynch and starring michael ironside.

this one sounds so familiar.....i think I've seen when it first came out..but now i'll have to give it another looksee just to make sure.

ok..it wasn't the film I remember..but it was a pretty good watch anyway. It's got a pretty nice mix of B Movie style slash with the erotic charges of old Zalman King Red Shoe Diary episodes..not bad.

Oh, Ms. Tepperman, you say all the right things [Wink]

Well, Muffy and Valley weren't there to hold my hands while I watched this one, but that was ok, because it wasn't scary! haha It was partly funny and I loved seeing Cameron Dye.

There were a ton of people in this movie, that I recognized. I got an old vhs copy. The whole fantasy hot line thing was funny! Fun movie, I enjoyed it. [Smile]

Good I'm glad Ronniegirl!

I loved the fantasy hotline...haha how about that modeling photo shoot at the beginning? lol

That's what I love so much about these b movie thrillers.........you almost laugh more then you get scared [Wink] [Smile]

TALK IS CHEAP!

That clown killer creeped me out way more than Ronnie for some reason. But I agree that he would have been way scarier if he didn't crack bad jokes while doing the deeds.

Thanks for reminding me of this movie Muffy! That was a fun watch and it was a blast to see again. Too bad we all didn't watch it together like Ronnie mentioned.

I wish Cameron Dye had been in more movies in the 80's. He was excellent in this flick.

Oh and the fantasy phone sex service was hilarious!
