The Prowler

...a classic 80s slasher movie, but I'm not sure why. It's distinguishing feature is surprisingly high quality special effects. Tom Savini claims it's some of his best work, and I'd agree.

The movie starts with a mildly interesting setup: A woman who writes a "Dear John" letter to a WW2 soldier is killed at the graduation dance, along with her boyfriend. Then, 35 years later, the graduation dance is restarted, which triggers a new round of murders by someone in an Army outfit.

Unfortunately, besides that setup, it's a boring slasher with few interesting characters and idiot protagonists, a bunch of unresolved side plots, and some questionable editing. The murderer is pretty obvious, too.

...but the special effects were great.
