...but you can skip the first 30 without missing anything, because the basic story is explained on the backcover. You get a very strong middle-section with 40 minutes of running and screaming, reminding me of the first 30 Days Of Night a lot in style and creature-design. but the final 20min are a major let-down. left me totally dissatisfied. But it's not a bad movie, give it a try because it's one of the better After Dark entries of that season (with Husk, while Fertile Ground sucks!)

A young woman, Amber (Courtney Hope) persuades some friends to take her on a road trip to Chicago where she is looking for a new apartment. Before she leaves her "mother" tells her a secret that has been kept hidden from her.
When the car breaks down, her fear that something is keeping her in small town America resurfaces, then a passing trucker Bernard agrees to take them to Chicago in the back of his vehicle, we soon know Bernard is telling porkies and our scared teens find themselves dropped off in an abandoned warehouse where they find they are being hunted by a group of fast moving vamps.
The blurb on the front says "About as tense as it comes", hardly, the story is pretty basic and you may cotton on to the clue that ties in to the "surprise" ending which leaves it open to an expected sequel.
Like many movies of this genre the hand held camera work is over done and annoying, we get the idea now, we don't need shaky cameras to make us feel part of the action. We can use our imagination. Concentrate on the story and get the acting right and you don't need cameramen to run round like reporters in a war zone.
The only extras are trailers for other After Dark movies.
Just about scrapes in at 3 stars I didn't hate it enough to give it 2 stars but I'll be in no hurry to watch it again.

And it's a wrap for 2010's PROWL, an After Dark Originals release. Amber and her five friends (and no, that isn't a euphemism) head off on a road trip for some reasons that don't matter. They're picked up by a trucker who seems nice enough, until he drops them off at an abandoned warehouse where the cast of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT are hanging out. The vamps go lala and Amber's crew are picked off one by one. And that's about the height of it.
Despite this less than enthusiastic summary, I enjoyed PROWL. It was a fun, well acted and good looking flick that suffered from one major flaw: there wasn't really any plot as such. In fact, it felt like they'd just shot a load of scenes and patched them together in post-production. But with a running time of around 80 mins, I could overlook the lack of plot: this is not a film that outstays its welcome.
Basically, if you liked 30 DAYS, you'll enjoy this. But more as a short side-story or homage rather than a feature in its own right.

a lot better than I expected
Ok, as a horror movie, I have to admit, that this film could do better. Not much could be seen from the vampires and it definitely would have been interesting to know more about... Read more

Disappointing
This film is a real let down. It has some suspense, a lot of it is pointless build up and some extremely irritating leads. Read more

just awful
I have now seen two "after dark" movies, this one and Scream of the Banshee, both absolutely awful. An absolutely rubbish ending and a very poor story line. Don't bother!
