Day 297 of the challenge! So I got to The Prowler…why do people love this one?
All those slasher tropes people complain about (teens making the worst decisions possible while being chased, having sex like their lives depended on it, slasher villain with a weird gimmick, identical plots, etc) can be traced back to generic slasher films like The Prowler. There is nothing remotely unique about this Friday the 13th ripoff (which itself is a Halloween ripoff) other than maybe how incredibly boring and badly made it is. I honest to god do not understand what makes this such a classic for people. I’m glad I got it off the list, but damn…
That’s all I got!
