Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
A mash-up of the "isolation stalker" concept and a "night of the hungry vampires" pitch. Not half bad.
R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD
Run-of-the-mill is nearly every way, at least Prowl is scary on occasion.

A couple of decent ideas, many cliches, and not a single character worth caring about. And not enough thrills or gore to offset that. Meh.

Typical After Dark film. Bloody. Gorey. Not fantastic...but decently done.

Surprisingly awesome vampire movie. I've been burned by the After Dark series before, but this had everything. It keeps its story simple. Teenagers journey far from home and are soon hunted down. It's nice to see a group of smart and funny young adults that don't deserve a punching. They even take precautions when accepting a ride from a truck-driver. Huzzah! The photography is very impressive. It all feels diluted, but in a dark and stylized way. It's almost comforting at first. The jumps and the gore that follow are fairly standard, but still effective. Some fine performances really capture the fear, frustration, and chaos, and it was nice to see one of the vampires scared at one point. It's short but sweet.

A great horror flick. The story was good, and the tension kept on going. Some pretty scary and intense scenes/imagery in here. One of my favorites of the After Dark series.

Cool indie style vampire film. When a girl decides its time for her to leave her shitty life in her small town but when her friends van breaks down it seems its destined not to happen. But a man in a lorry soon comes along and eventuall agrees to take her and her friends to her new flat. Only, as you might expect, they don't end up in the required destination at all but at some old warehouse thats become a training ground for vampires. Thers plenty of tension and gore and despite not having many likeable characters that doesn't matter to much as the performance from the main character is pretty strong. Overall, a decent, if not brilliant bit of vamp action.

"Prowl" delivers entertainment, some jump out of your seat moments, gore and thrills but it had potential to be better or at least be decent without the anti-climatic ending that left me empty.
