Film Review: The Prowler (a.k.a Rosemary's Killer).


See the source image
Release date: October 9th 1981.

Story: During the second world war, a woman named Rosemary Chatham writes a dear John letter to her boyfriend serving in the US army. Breaking up with him because he is away too long. So the boyfriend ends up going crazy and (after returning from service in 1945) seeks out his ex at a Graduation ceremony. And kills her and her new boyfriend with a pitchfork. Many years later the same school is getting ready for a Graduation ceremony (the first in many years). But soon things turn nasty when the same killer returns from the grave and starts killing people.

My thoughts: This movie was released when slasher killer movies were popular. This movie is cool but it does drag on. And when at the end when we find out who the killer is, there isn't really any answer to how the person is connected to the killer and why he has continuing the killings (unless I had missed it). On the other hand the effects are cool and the killer's design is impressive.

My score: Four stars.
