Product Description

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. 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 cruelest "body-count" movies of the 1980s, 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 in grisly High Definition! EXTRAS: Audio Commentary with Producer/Director Joseph Zito and Special Make-up Effects Artist Tom Savini Tom Savini's Behind-the-Scenes Gore Footage Theatrical Trailer

Format: Blu-ray
After the phenomenal success of slasher movie classics such as Halloween, Black Christmas and Friday 13th the genre exploded and spread like wildfire throughout the early 80s. From a film-making point of view these were relatively easy to produce. All that was needed was a killer in a mask, an array of murder weapons and some hapless characters at the killers disposel. Plus with the arrival of the new format of video tape these movies were made more readily available than they ever had before. Entries in the slasher genre ranged from bad with such crude examples as Pranks or Don't Go In The Woods which instantly jumped to mind, where as others were fantastic examples of genre with titles such as The Burning and My Bloody Valentine popping up on fans top ten lists everywhere. The Prowler falls somewhere between. Hardy original although the jilted soldier scenario had never been used before, this is a mostly by the book slasher film which is literally held together by some superb FX work by the legendary make-up artist Tom Savini. Ranking as some of the best and most realistic the maestro has ever produced and on par with the wonderfully nasty effects utilised in Day Of The Dead this is truely genre leading. You get hunting knives through a head, ultra nasty throat slittings, shot gunned exploding heads and in one scene an unfortunate girl is pitchforked in the shower complete with the sound of metal scraping against the tiles behind as the blades passes through her. Despite this The Prowler struggles to maintain tension although the finalé in an abandoned mansion does build up a good amount of thrills. The characters are mostly boring generic slasher cardboard cut-outs and the killers identity isnt all that hard to work out either.Read more ›

Also Known as Rosemary"s Killer directed by Joseph Zito(Friday the 13th The Final Chapter) with gore effects by Tom Savini. This is a rarely seen little number which in places is very gruesome (the shower scene) if a little slow in places.The "plot" such as it is starts in 1945 with Rosemary and her date murdered at the graduation dance by her jilted boyfriend a solider on shore leave. The killer was never found!!!
30 years on the graduation dance is back on but someone else has also returned. Watch the population of Avalon bay meet their BLOODY end at the hands of THE PROWLER!!
PS Great Extras.

If you're making a list of must-see 80s slashers, The Prowler should definitely be one of them. Yeah, the plot isn't all that great, the pace of the movie drags in places, and several questions ultimately go unanswered - but I was genuinely surprised at the identity of the killer (who is pretty intimidating in his killing garb), the lead actress is fairly cute, and - as is always important for us gorehounds - I was absolutely delighted at the spectacle of blood and gore on display. The filmmakers really let makeup/special effects genius Tom Savini go hog wild. Where other slasher movies give you a quick cut shot of a knife slicing a neck open or a pitchfork going all the way through a body, The Prowler lingers deliciously on such gruesome sights. You get to see that last little convulsion as he raises a skewered body up, with the tines of the pitchfork scraping against the tile; you watch him working his knife back and forth as if he has trouble removing it from his victim's neck - it's these little details that show you just how much Savini cares about his gruesome craft. Admittedly, one death is wholly and patently fake, but you still have to appreciate the effort and intent of the shot.

The story begins in 1945, when a young woman and her beau are ruthlessly murdered on the night of the big college graduation dance; while their killer was never caught, it is made quite obvious that the murderer was the young woman's former boyfriend, to whom she had sent a Dear John letter while he was still fighting overseas. 35 years later, the college prepares for the first graduation dance since that awful night.

This is perhaps a lesser known slasher movie (in the UK it was known as Rosemary's Killer on VHS), but I have to admit that I think it is one of the better ones.
The story is pretty simple and its got a bit of the old whodunnit? element to it as well but the actual murder scenes are pretty heavy with some excellent effects by Tom Savini.
My only gripe is that this movie doesn't seem to have benefitted from the Bluray transfer, I don't think the picture quality is that much improved.
All in all, its a good purchase with some nice behind the scenes extras that I hadn't seen before.

This is another awesome slasher horror movie from the 80s, if your into gore movies then this has some brilliant bloody kills from the master of all gore Tom Savini. The story is good and plays out well, your usual slasher 80s horror scenario!! Worth picking up if your into this sort of thing, im basing my review on the region 1 version titled The Prowler not on the UK version.
