The Prowler (1981) **1/2

Joseph Zito directed a few really good ‘80s action films (including 1985’s Invasion U.S.A. (review)) and the best of the Friday The 13th films, 1984’s The Final Chapter), but despite some great gory kills courtesy of Tom Savini, The Prowler (1981) is one of (if not) the most plodding, excruciatingly dragged-out slashers there is. I'd seen this film before (and it was just as slow as I remembered), but I didn't remember Lawrence Tierney or Farley Granger starring and didn't recognize either one of them in this viewing.
