Just wondering why so many films are shot in Bulgaria. What is the tax incentive? Directors alway explain that say they cannot find a good location in the US. What is the real reason? If I was an actor, it seems like it would be a scary place to travel to.
shareLOL! Bulgaria scary??? Why?
I think it must be cheaper somehow.
Isn't Bulgaria close to Transylvania (i.e. Romania) where Dracula dwells?
shareActually the movie is shot closer to Sofia than to Transylvania. The battle scenes are shot 40 kilometers away from Sofia at a Soviet-type metallurgical complex called Kremikovtzi that went into bankruptcy several years ago. I recognized the place while watching the movie because I used to work there. Today this place is being scrapped. The explosion at the end of the movie is real and you can see that even before the explosion the building is already in wreckage. So it is cheap to blast ruins in Bulgaria. Expect more movies shot at Kremikovtzi, hopefully better than Prowl.
shareYou didn't like "Prowl"? I thought it was quite effective for a low-budget horror flick. Maybe it's nothing to get overly excited about, but it definitely works for what it is.
shareIF it's trying to waste a good 90 minutes of my life then it succeeded, still wondering what is bird like about the bird monsters.
?
What movie are you talking about? This board is about "Prowl" and there are no "bird monsters" in it; vampires, but no bird monsters.
shareYou must know less about this movie than the rest of the people saying that they are bird monsters as stated by the director :|

ummmm When in the movie did it say Vampire? And ho come she can run around all the time in the daylight and not need blood and have been given birth too and grow older ? :|
The creatures had fangs and were after blood, right? They may not have been conventional vampires but that's how they struck me when I viewed the movie. Other viewers came to the same conclusion. The director may have referred to them as "bird monsters", as you say, but they came across as vampires. As far as the girl running around in daylight goes, she clearly wasn't a full-fledged vampire yet, but she was infected or whatever.
That said, I've only seen the film once and that was last Winter, so I'll give it a re-watch sometime with your words in mind.
I just watched in 5 hours ago :|
and have been reading all the reports of the director's commentary referring to them as bird themed
My comments actually support your original statment:
still wondering what is bird like about the bird monsters.
It's all about the money. ;)
shareA lot of people cannot film cheaply in the USA and cannot film certain types of films. It is easy to get licenses and permits and do what they want in places like Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. So much cheaper and more lenient than USA.
