Great movie with a lot of atmosphere, and a lot of gore. What I expected but what I didn't see coming was that the gore looked so good for its time. I'd seen some old horror movies before, but none looked as good as this one. The acting was also good, no really annoying characters and the leading lady was well cast with her beautiful blonde face. The tension was actually strong throughout the film, and the killer looked good, nice and original in his soldier outfit Really thought this was one of the stronger horrors from the 80s. Enjoyed it very much and will watch it again soon let me see.

4.5*

Definitely one of the better slashers. A subgenre that I'm starting to love more and more. Especially when they produce such an über thick atmosphere as is the case with Prowler.

Actually, everything has been mentioned often enough here, but I'll repeat it anyway, because it is really is so very good that it should receive nothing but praise. Thanks to a great killer, which is spot on both in terms of design and way of killing.

The effects are fantastic, brilliantly portrayed and certainly not the best. Supported by the wonderful soundtrack, it passes you by at lightning speed, this can't last long enough for fans!

Joseph Zito has delivered a masterpiece, a wonderful classic. One that surprisingly received very few votes on MM, while it ranks among the best. Also nice that he has my favorite Friday the 13th part behind his name .

On the timeline of American slashers, this is an early one and a very good one at that. Of course it contains quite a few story-technical similarities with other slashers from that time, but that doesn't matter. It all looks fresh and cheerful, and that early eighties atmosphere is simply priceless. The gore is more than decent but what do you want when Tom Savini is involved in the project. Furthermore, I really thought it was an exciting film that takes place in a typical sleepy town. The killer part takes place at night and that of course creates even more excitement with all kinds of shady spots. Very nice that there was also a comic part: the scene with the corpulent hotelier is absolutely amazing. The final scene in which Vicky Dawson's savior is knocked over is also a gem. Well shot and supported by an extremely effective score. Great!
