THE PROWLER

If you think you're safe, you're DEAD wrong!
Avalon Bay, 1945: On the night of her graduation dance, 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. 30 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 ROSEMARYS KILLER, this gruesome shocker is one of the cruelest 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 rarely seen sleeper from the golden age of slasher films - now presented completely uncut and uncensored!

NOTES

"Intense And Suspenseful! One Of The Better Slasher Bloodbaths!"
-Creature Features Movie Guide


Total slasher flick from start to finish. If youre into "No, dont go into the dark hallway alone" and "Dont open that door" moment's then this flick is right up your alley.

Plot wise, it had me guessing right up to the end, which is nice. Neatly tied off, with just a little mental work to get an idea of the "why". Well done gore effects, but we can expect nothing less than a master like Mr Savini. I especially enjoyed the use of the pitchfork as weapon in this one. Lots of chills, and thrills, it must have knocked em dead at the drive in back in the day. All in all, a classic example of the genre of slasher flicks.
