BOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGGG !.......2007-01-05
What the heck! This movie just about stinks. I fell asleep twice. Almost any fri the 13 is better than this. The movie goes from some kind of small town charm crap to extremely graphic drawn out murder scenes. Where was the director when this movie was shot? All through the commentary every time someone is murdered the director groans "oh,real nice Tom {Savini}" Its like he wasnt aware of what was going on when these scenes where shot. My bloody valentine was alot better than this. Theres just to much boring goody two shoes crap in between the suspencefull stalking scenes. This movie takes too much work for me to watch in that I kept falling asleep! RENT OR BORROW BEFORE YOU BUY !!!!!!!
great 80's slasher.......2007-01-05
Most people(like myself)did'nt here much about this film when it was originally released.It's a great piece of 80's horror that should definitely be checked out.
Savini at his best, Easily one of the top 10 Slashers of all time.......2006-12-13
"The Prowler" is another of my favorite slasher films.
I didn't see it at the theatre because I didn't like the name,"I had he pleasure of seeing most 80's slashers during their first run in theatres, I wish I would have seen it on the big screen. The story is the usual slasher fare, years earlier something traumatic happened and left someone either bitter, scarred, disfigured or just mad as hell.
In my opinion the love of the genre comes from knowing the formula of the film just different characters,kills,herione/hero and killer, and this movie delivers what you expect from a slasher plus good acting and good kills plus excellent effects by the great Tom Savini. "The Prowler" is easily in my top 5 Slashers of all time.Get the DVD while you can. It could become as hard to find or as expensive as "The Burning"
Forgotten 80's gem with Tom Savini effects.......2006-09-17
Joseph Zito (who directed Friday the 13th 4, which was the best in the long running series) directed this forgotten 80's slasher gem, which is made all the more memorable thanks to the unbelievably gruesome gore effects from FX legend Tom Savini. The Prowler follows the basic 80's slasher formula (revenge) to a tee, but Zito weaves some better than average set pieces, and Savini's grisly effects are the true star of the show. The pitchfork scene is definitely worth noting here, an you'll never look at one the same way again. There's some pretty good extras on the DVD to boot, including archive footage of Savini in action. The Prowler isn't a classic of the genre at all (saying that most of the acting is wooden is saying it lightly) but it's the inventive effects work by one of the true masters of the genre that make the Prowler worth seeing.
"Ummm, attention...ummm....there seems to be a prowler outside...........2006-08-30
Unfortunately for horror fans, we now live in the times of movies like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cry Wolf, When a Stranger Calls (the remake), and other horrible, bloodless, over-porduced fodder/garbage that Hollywood tries desperately to shove down our throats; passing these off as horror films.
Fortunately, we can always go back in time to the early 80's and pop in and old classic such as this fine film. I must say, when I went over to my friend's house to check out this flick, I was thuroughly impressed! I wasn't expecting much but I what I witnessed was a true, no-holds-barred slasher flick that fails to sugar coat. Unfortunately, films such of these now-a-days seem to be about as extinct as the dinosaurs. However, when this film came out, the makers made the wise decision to give the audience everything they want and more-nudity, a cool and sinister killer, a little bit of comedy, a bumbling cop that might as well work in Mayberry, and a bunch of very cool and creative as hell kill scenes! So come one Hollywood, check out the Prowler and learn a few things. Hopefully with the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, Hollywood will finally figure it out and get back to the classic days of true horror films.

Description
If you think you're safe, you're dead wrong! On the night of her graduation dance in 1945, young Rosemary and her date are brutally murdered by a prowler thought to be a jilted soldier home from the war. The killer was never found. Thirty years later, the dance is held again for the first time since that horrific evening--but something else may have also returned. Tonight, the teens of this sleepy town will meet their grisly ends at the hands--and pitchfork, blade and more--of The Prowler! Also known as "Rosemary's Killer," this gruesome shocker is one of the most brutal body count movies of the '80s, thanks to razor sharp direction by Joseph Zito (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) and graphic gore effects by Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Maniac). Hollywood legends Farley Granger (Strangers on a Train) and Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs) star in this shocker from the golden age of slasher films--now presented completely uncut and uncensored!
