The Prowler (DVD, 2003)

old school the 80s but every bit as good as todays movies. a movie you will remember as i did from 1982 its a good movie all round

If you like this kind of film (80's style slashhers...) then THE PROWLER is for you. Long saught after and hard to find on VHS back in the 80's and into the 90's, Blue-Underground releasesed this extras-packed DVD in 2003 to rave reviews from genre fans.

It is a basic slasher story line in the vein of "revenge killing on an anniversary". Following a WWII vet as he pitchforks his way through a group of college kids trying to have fun at the first graduation dance held at their school since, you guessed it, 35 years before a couple was killed at the very same dance...It seems the WWII vet had recieved a "Dear John" letter and was none too happy to find his former squeeze in the arms of another at the shin-dig upon returning home from saving the world. Lets just say he is still angry over the loss of his lover and will not tolerate young ones covorting at another graduation dance!

Yeah, it's the same old song and dance we've all seen, BUT, what seperates this slasher from others is the above average acting, great location, and taught direction from genre vet Joseph Zito. Barring some jarring editing dicisions, this is a standout film.

i'm into horror movies especially 1970's and late 80's horror.it was a classic so i had to have it.i'm on ebay all the time looking for titles that you can't find in the store so i come here to get my fix on old horror
