Prowl [HD]

ON THE PROWL
One of two new AFTERDARK ORIGINALS, PROWL is far inferior to HUSK. While PROWL takes an innovative twist on vampirism it strikes out in most directions. The story has the expected gathering of sex-starved, partying youths who take up with an all-too friendly truck driver after their van breaks down. And for the millionth time, its the gals left to fend off the bloodsuckers.
The most debilitating aspect of PROWL is the overly chaotic camera work which makes it almost impossible to figure out what's going on. And it's flat, abrupt finale is disappointing. The acting is acceptable but no one stands out.
While better than some direct to DVD films, I had hoped PROWL would equal the excellence of HUSK but no such luck. Let's hope future ADO's are stronger.

A Friend In Need
I just watched this On Demand and it wasn't bad but I wasn't thrilled either.
the use of very shaky camera shots and flashes of scenes so you really can't see the effect during a death scene made me wonder what they were trying so hard to hide.
Yes ,I understand the newer fast moving creature aspect of some of today's films although the ones I have seen have allowed me to see it clearly enough to make out what's going on and what they look like.
This is not a body count movie,it becomes something more and it has a twist of course which most people will see coming well before you are suppose to to get the reveal.
It was fairly clever but not really that fresh.
What I did see of the creatures was pretty good,they looked somewhat like the Vampires in 30 days of night.
There is some seemingly unnecessary build up in the beginning but it all played out well.
Some people might love it,some just think it ok.The gore factor was about a 6 out of 10..Like I...

Remember all the things we were told by our parents? Don't swim for an hour after eating. Don't make faces like that or it'll freeze that way. Don't take candy from strangers. Don't sit so close to the TV, you'll ruin your eyes. Don't take rides from strangers. So, how many of these are really dangerous?
The premise of Prowl has Amber (Courtney Hope - Mob Rules), who is bored with her small town life, her job as a butcher, and is being pulled to the big city life. The first step is to find a place to live, and she has one if she can make to the apartment manager, with the deposit, tomorrow. Her friends decide to give her a ride, and make a road trip of it. So Susie (Ruta Gedmintas - Miss Conception), Ray (Jamie Blackley - Myths), Peter (Joshua Bowman - 13 HRS), Eric (Oliver Hawes - film debut), and Fiona (Perdita Weeks - The Tudors) load the necessities needed to go to the big city for a day - spare clothes, smokes, music, and alcohol. As can be predicted the car breaks down as...
