Not all killers have a real reason for what they do. In this film, the man comes home from WWII in 1943 and finds that his lady has kept herself busy with someone else. He kills them both and then stops for 37 years. For no reason (feel free to correct me if I missed it), he decides to kill again in 1980. I mention this to put the next scene into perspective...
The Prowler
The whole film takes place around the Senior Prom...even though these people are in their early 20s. Most of the women leave their communal house (where is this school again?), save for one who is in the shower. Naturally, this gives us our lone and pre-requisite nude scene. Her boyfriend shows up and she invites him in for some pre-dance fun. As he gets ready to join her, he gets attacked by our killer! You couldn't have at least waited until after he was done?!? Even the guy from Opera was that courteous. That's cold, man!*
The big thing is, as I mentioned, these murders are completely unprovoked. These people were not even alive when the original offense happened. So, when our villain cock-blocks a guy via murder, it just seems even worse!

As a side note, my planned review of the film is going to be held for a while. Apparently, everyone has suddenly decided to review it recently. I'm not sure why.

Next up, a man whose only crime is...being a plumber? Stay tuned...
I'm pretty sure the provocation is that there hasn't been a dance since the one where he killed everyone, and now that the town is finally having another dance, the killer has returned. It's very similar to the original "MY BLOODY VALENTINE" in that respect.
ReplyDeleteI guess that makes sense...sort of. I still fail to see how it is personal, since it was not a "Carrie" sort of thing. He just committed a murder the same night.
ReplyDeleteStill...not cool, man!
I think the provocation is premarital sex. And the dance. Probably the dance.. Stupid J.. always getting here first..
ReplyDeleteLove this one, just post the review, F everyone else
