The women who work the lines at a Los Angeles phone-sex service are being brutally murdered, and the perpetrator may be one of the clients. The anonymous nature of the service, and a host of strange characters, make the list of suspects lengthy. The psychotic killer chooses to hide his identity behind a creepy clown mask⦠and it just gets weirder from there. This off-the-radar horror flick boasts an insanely quirky cast featuring, Queen of B-Movie horror Karen Black (Trilogy of Terror, Five Easy Pieces), Bud Cort (Harold and Maude), Tracey Walter (Repo Man), Divine (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray), Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul), Tab Hunter (Lust in the Dust, Birds Do It) and Lainie Kazan (The Big Hit, My Favorite Year)! Newly remastered.

Comments about Out of the Dark (1988):
Despite a highly capable cast (Karen Black, Bud Cort, and Divine, for example), this is just a poorly executed, terribly written and awfully directed pastiche of every horror movie cliche in the book. And the worst part? The one person you think COULDN'T be the killer because it would be too obvious....turns out to be EXACTLY HIM! I felt cheated six ways to Sunday. Waste of money.
