Saturday Slasher Cinema: THE PROWLER

Welcome to another Installment of Saturday Slasher Cinema featuring the 1981 Slasher Film  The Prowler Directed by Joseph Zito, and Written By Neal Barbera and Glenn Leopold. The Movie gained a Cult Following in the Years following its Release, and has been Noted for its Hard-Edged Violence-Showcasing Special Effects bu the One and Only Tom Savini- as well as its Dreamlike Atmosphere. The Prowler has been Named One of the Greatest Slasher Films of All Time by Several Publications, including Complex and Paste Magazines.

Synopsis:

An Unknown Psychotic Killer, Clad in World War II U.S. Army Fatigues, Stalks a Small New Jersey Town Hell Bent on Reliving a Grisly (and Unsolved) 35 Year Old Double Homicide. The Prowler Focuses His Murderous Desires on a Group of Collage Kids holding a Annual Graduation Dance, and all Hell Breaks Loose as the Bodies Begin to Pile Up!

                   

What The Critics Have To Say:

“While it does get lost in the mix of the other slashers of the decade, The Prowler is still worth a watch. Fans of the slasher genre will appreciate the movie the most!”

–  Kellie Haulotte (1428 Elm)

“A film with these specific strengths ought to be at least worth it for the [slasher] genre faithful, and it is soley for the faithful.”

-Tim Brayton (Antagony & Ecstasy)

                   

“Another of the fine collaborations between Tom Savini and Joseph Zito, both of whom know how to deliver damn fine slasher fare.”

-Felix Vasquez Jr. (Cinema Crazed)

“A better than expected entry into the most despised of genres.”

-James Kendrick (Q Network Film Desk)

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Tale of Sociopathic Slaughter as Much as We Did.

Saturday Slasher Cinema: SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 2

Considering this is the Second Installment of Saturday Slasher Cinema We thought it Only Appropriate to Feature the 1987 Black Comedy Slasher Film Slumber Party Massacre II (Written and Directed By Deborah Brock, and Produced by Roger Corman). SPM II Doesn’t Bring anything Insightful to the Slasher Genre, it’s Far More Interested in B-movie Fun and Special Effects. That’s Not a Bad Thing by Any Means. One of the Best Moments in the Movie is the Gag-Inducing Vision Courtney has of Her Friend Sally’s Massive Zit growing to a Grotesque and Monstrous Size unit it Burts Splattering Her with Fluid. Yeah, that’s the Type of Insanity SPM II Delivers.

               

Brief Plot Summary: “The Driller Killer is Back- and He Parties for Keeps!”

Set Years after the Slumber Party Massacre, now Teen Courtney is a Senior in High School and Plays in a Band with Her Three Close Friends. Courtney is also Experiencing Horrific Nightmares about the DRILL-WIELDING MANIAC KILLER from the First Film Returning. She can’t Shake the Terrifying Feeling that She and Her Friends will be VICIOUSLY TORMENTED AND BRUTALLY BUTCHERED. Again and Again the Nightmare Returns as a Dazed Courtney starts to Lose Control of Her Waking Life that’s Turning into a Surreal Horror Show. And Then Her Nightmare Crosses Over into Reality. No One Believes Her, Until it’s Too Late. The Driller Killer Returns Reincarnated as an Evil Rock’n Roll Greaser with a Massive Drill Bit Guitar Combo of Carnage. He Methodically Stalks Them; then VIOLENTLY GORES THEM TO DEATH….ONE BY ONE. Mixing Elements of A Nightmare On Elm Street with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Only the Fittest can Survive in SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II!!!

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Sequel of Slumber Party Slaughter as Much as We Did.

The Film was Originally written by Brown as a Parody of the Slasher Genre but was Shit as a Straightforward Horror Film Instead. As a Result, it Contains more Humor, bot Intended and Unintended, than Usual for the Slasher Genre at the Time.

As The Body Count Begins to Rise will Anyone Survive the Sinister Slumber Party or are They all Destined to Die at the Hands of Russ the POWER DRILL KILLER?! You’ll just have to watch and see for Yourself.

               

Critics Critique:

“A good-natured film, even if a majority of the cast meet their deaths by being on the wrong end of a giant power drill.” Paul Freitag-Fey (Daily Grindhouse)

“The strain between content and tone leaves it feeling like no other slasher film of that period, and while it also leaves it more frustrating….it stands out.” Tim Brayton (Antagony & Ecstasy)

“Slumber Party Massacre is not a great film- the plot is thin and the performances occasionally a little awkward-but there’s No Doubt that it maintains its shock value.” Mike McGranaghan (Aisle Seat)

“[Director Amy Holden] Jones tries the more effective tack of playing the slasher stuff straight and inserting clever visual jokes when she has the opportunity” Scott Tobias (The Dissolve)

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Power Drill Killer Movie as Much as We Did.
