How sad is this?

Absolutely the worst movie.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Released in 2010, "Prowl" is about a young woman, Amber, who desperately wants to leave her small town. She talks a group of friends into helping her get to Chicago, but they have serious set-backs on the road and worse when they make it to the big city. Horror ensues.The plot's thin and the second half marks time a bit, but I felt "Prowl" was well-done for a TV movie. Each of the three female protagonists are good-looking in their own unique way, especially Ruta Gedmintas as Suzy. There's some decent suspense and frights and the ending features a twist that I didn't see coming, even though the clues were there from the beginning.The film was shot in Bulgaria and runs 81 minutes.GRADE: B-

Having just watched this film I am trying desperately to think of a word or words to describe it and the only thing is: it's alright. There is nothing particularly bad about this movie but nothing particularly good either. It attempts atmosphere and tension but not particularly well. The characterisation is relatively bland and the so called jumps don't really well make you jump. The main problem is not the film itself as such but that it has been done so much better in many different other movies. It really is a poorly done Near Dark remake. In fact, I have watched episodes of Supernatural that were better. To summarise, watch the originals instead and don't bother with this.

Prowl – CATCH IT (C+) Prowl is one of those indie horrors which are good till the 3rd act. Prowl revolves around a group of 6 friends who go on road trip to Chicago to help a friend Amber paying her new apartment rent. In the middle of the road there car broke down and they take a lift from a truck driver. The journey starts calmly but later when they see the truck has changed his path and going off the road they start panicking and then the whole nightmare starts. Prowl does manage to create enough scares and deliver decent performances by all actors Courtney Hope, Ruta Gedmintas, Joshua Bowman, Bruce Payne , Jamie Blackley, Oliver Hawes, George Oliver, Saxon Trainor and Perdita Weeks. In the end, it does feel like a drag since we don't know the origin or reason of the creatures. Are they breed of Zombies, Vampires etc. so, just some cannibalistic human race with super strength is little too much.

Essentially Prowl is another splatter flick... actually if there was no minimum review length that would pretty much summarize it.The protagonist hitches a ride; her friends are there too because really, the film doesn't have enough substance to support just said protagonist trying to survive. Actually most characters don't last long once the threat appears. That makes the earlier parts seem like padding, which explains why I can't remember much about these people. There was humor during the earlier parts but things quickly get bland.In short, some quasi-vampires arrive and start killing everyone, naturally a couple of would-be victims escape. Then those people must figure out what's going on. Even with its short runtime things got boring toward the finale.
