Movie Review: GREAT 80'S SLASHER MOVIE
Summary: 4 Stars
ANOTHER WONDERFUL 80'S SLASHER MOVIE. THIS MOVIE STARTS OFF KINDA SLOW.BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT.Movie Review: I'M YOUR NIGHT...NIGHT PROWLER I SLEEP IN THE DAY,I'M YOUR NIGHT ...NIGHT PROWLER BEST GET OUTTA THE WAY
Summary: 5 Stars
This is PROWLER! And I must say it is a SLICE above the WAY to many
slasher films that was pumped at us between 81-85! This has everything
a GOOD horror film should have. Better than usual formula
maniac movie about jilted WW II soldier who killed his former fiancee
and her new beau with a pitchfork(gotta love it!) during a college
graduation dance in the 40's. When the dance is held again after a 35
year hiatus, good ole Harry the soldier starts the gruesome killings
again. Great Tom Savini effects include a girl pitch forked in the
shower(all she wanted was soap! DAMN!)a guy getting a bayonet
through the skull(ashee boo-boo) and the SCANNER climatic head
exploding(kiss that Excederin Migraine away)the acting is good
(very rare in a slasher/horror) and Richard Einhorn composed
a very good score. A VERY GOOD HORROR FILM! CATCH THE PROWLER
BEFORE HE CATCHES.....YOU!
WE REPEAT NO ONE AND WE MEAN NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 55 SHALL
SEE THE PROWLER WITHOUT BEING ACCOMPANIED BY A SENIOR CITIZEN
Movie Review: Enjoyable splatter-slasher flick from the 80's.
Summary: 4 Stars
In 1945 after WWII was over, a terrible murder happened as a young lady named Rosemary and her date were killed by a psychopath yet the killer mysteriously vanished. 30 years later, a dance over at Avalon Bay is being held and tonight the murderer has returned to kill again more teens like he did years ago with any weapon there is like machete, pitchfork, shogun and you name it.
A ghastly and entertaining 1980 slasher romp that is very suspensful and well acted with excellent direction by Frank Zito (director of "Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter") and realistic & grueling gore effects by Tom Savini such as the exploding head scene that is up there with "Scanners", "Maniac" and "Dawn of the Dead". The film stars Farley Granger (of "Strangers from a Train" fame") and Lawrence Tierney ("Reservoir Dogs") in this little seen cult shockfeast that is worth owning for fans of slasher and gore flicks.
This DVD has good picture and sound thanks to Blue Underground and good extras like theatrical trailer, Audio commentary, Tom Savini's behind the scenes gore footage and poster-and-still gallery.
Also recommended: "Friday The 13th Series", "A Nightmare on Elm Street Saga", "Freddy Vs. Jason", "The Burning", "Sleepaway Camp", "Scanners", "Maniac (1980)", "Suspiria", "Tenebre", "The New York Ripper", "Saw Trilogy", "Deep Red", "Scream 1 & 2", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series plus 2003 remake & The Beginning", "Ichi The Killer", "The Untold Story", "Bloody Birthday", "Happy Birthday to Me", "Cherry Falls", "Tourist Trap", "Urban Legend", "Basket Case" and "Driller Killer".
Movie Review: Amazingly good.
Summary: 5 Stars
This 80's slasher flick is definitely worth checking out especially if you're a slasher fan or like Tom Savini's gory special fx, The prowler is a great example of a slasher flick with the slow pace so it could build up the tension and suspense and it has alot of gruesome death scenes in it so it is not dull as another reviewer said he must have been watching something else.
I can't pick a favorite death scene but I would have to say when the killer stabs one of the students on top of the head with a large knife and having his eyes roll back, very nice and it looked gory as hell. In 1945 during a college graduation dance a young woman and her lover are violently murdered by an unknown killer, 35 years later the killer comes back to the campus to murder off unsuspecting students when they try to throw another dance.
A blond girl teams up with the local sheriff in order to catch the killer you also have some typical 80's teens getting drunk and partying as they get picked off one by one. I highly recommend this film to slasher/horror fans enjoy.
Movie Review: Savini is the man
Summary: 5 Stars
In my top 5 slashers of all time. Tom Savini is just a genius when it comes to special effects, plain and simple. The special effects are not the only thing this movie has going for it though, the story is great, the direction is great, the acting is above average and its just an all around great movie. Some of the gore includes a knife through the top of the head and out the bottom,an exploding head,a pitchfork double-death(I love double-deaths), and there's a lot more where that came from. Highly recommended, underrated, over-looked slasher from the golden age of extreme horror.
