The movie uses ironic iconology. The main antagonist has the appearence of a clown which can be taken from different perspectives. Firstly there is a hint of ironey as traditionally clowns ca nconnot jest and humour. However the more contemporary approach to clown is one of contempt and is now a common phobia within out society. As a reverberation of this, his appearance connotes fear etc. On the other end of the spectrum, the protagonist is portrayed as a bat which is also ironic in that a bat is another common fear. Showing that the two characters are similar but also completely different in their motives. This similarity between the antagonist and protagonist is a common trait in many a Thriller movies. A particular point in the film.
