Been doing a slasher marathon this month


Really didn't care for The Prowler. It certainly topped April Fool's Day, but it's on the same level as Friday the 13th 1 & 2, and Happy Birthday To Me...just good kills and the rest is boring.

This is not even CLOSE to being as good as The Burning, My Bloody Valentine, F13: The Final Chapter & Jason Lives.

I find it better than The Burning. I found that dull, other than the raft scene really.

that's cool, I've been having a horror marathon myself and I am 15 movies in **spoilers** I found The Prowler boring too. I really liked the concept and enjoyed the first 30 mins so I thought I would love it but it just got boring after that mostly following around two characters who weren't that interesting and I never felt they were gonna be killed. The "shock" ending was lame too. Well done special effects but I need more than that. Guess I'll have to check out The Burning too. Up next first though: Silent Night, Deadly Night
