GL84 After crashing down on a remote highway, a group of friends find the tow-truck at their rescue is delivering them to an abandoned warehouse to be of use for a group of bloodthirsty creatures in hunting training.This ending up becoming one of the biggest disappointments around and it really had no reason to do so. There's some exceptionally good times here with the story as it has an awesome premise that's incredibly original which is played off really nicely here. The growing realization of their predicament when they arrive in the back of the truck and the uncertainty of what's coming next give these scenes a really great sense of tension by not adhering to a set pattern. Even once they're released and can go look around in a creepy location filled with pretty chilling creatures, there's some really fun times here as the relentless attacks by the voracious predators come of really fun as the numerous attacks throughout the facility and the surrounding buildings utilizing their speed and agility to launch surprise attacks on the group filled with boatloads of gore, yet instead of playing with this as expected, there's just not a lot of other good stuff here. Among the main flaws featured here is that we have way too much time in the beginning with the group of friends trying to establish their relationship together, and none of this is appealing or enjoyable. That it's all so bland as they hand out and party at the house just goes nowhere and feels endless overall without any kind of real purpose being set-up as a drama about needing to get out of the small town. Even more troubling is that after they arrive at the location, the film's confrontations with the creatures within the abandoned building really tend to stop and start quite readily, dragging itself out in the middle by going through their investigation of the area rather than dealing with the creature encounters. There's a really down-beat sense of energy here when this should be building up furiously during that point and becoming the film's highlight when instead it becomes a dull, dreary mess. There's also the fact that, even if the pacing during these scenes where fine the rapid-fire editing during the action scenes that make it really indecipherable what's going on as the blurry creatures are quite hard to see as well further the rather troubling section. The other flaw to this is that the final twist at the end doesn't help matters by being so ludicrous and really ends up putting the film on a rather confusing note. Too bad, as it doesn't need a whole lot of work to end up pretty awesome.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and drug use.

Saad Khan Prowl – CATCH IT (C+) Prowl is one of those indie horrors which are good till the 3rd act. Prowl revolves around a group of 6 friends who go on road trip to Chicago to help a friend Amber paying her new apartment rent. In the middle of the road there car broke down and they take a lift from a truck driver. The journey starts calmly but later when they see the truck has changed his path and going off the road they start panicking and then the whole nightmare starts. Prowl does manage to create enough scares and deliver decent performances by all actors Courtney Hope, Ruta Gedmintas, Joshua Bowman, Bruce Payne , Jamie Blackley, Oliver Hawes, George Oliver, Saxon Trainor and Perdita Weeks. In the end, it does feel like a drag since we don't know the origin or reason of the creatures. Are they breed of Zombies, Vampires etc. so, just some cannibalistic human race with super strength is little too much.

fedor8 The moment the kids find themselves in a slaughterhouse, surrounded by vampires (not again), it becomes very unexciting. Two cheer-leading blonds vs. dozens of gravity-defying (why have vampires become related to birds in recent years?), hungry vampires: it's such a mismatch that it cannot generate any excitement because the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Sort of like placing Mike Tyson in the ring against a three-year-old girl. Not much of a match-up.OK, fine, both blonds survive. The movie's somewhat redeeming feature is that it does give us that surprise twist: Amber is a vampire too. However, the ending isn't clear. What are those scenes of her running through the woods? Going back to the vampires? Rarely-done steak not good enough for her anymore? Actually, who the hell cares.What I do care about is what happened to Amber's "big-city" flat, the one that is at fault for her having helped have all her friends slaughtered. Was it rented out to someone else or did she get there in time? All these loose ends the movie leaves. Ts, ts.What a dumb, dumb scene with that old hobo attacking Amber's friend, right after they'd escaped from the vampire lair. Dumb to the umpteenth. Just an excuse to have Amber sink her newly-polished fangs into some human flesh.How about that English actor's (Bruce Payne) phony-baloney Southern accent. Wow. Was that lame or what. A piece of advice to modern film-makers who think it's the height of ingenuity and "artistic brilliance" to hire Brits to play Americans and vice versa: don't. Just don't. Keep it simple.Sure the mobile phones didn't work. Did you expect any different?

mdnobles19 Prowl does have surprising twists and turns in it as well as some suspense and terror but in the end it was below par compared to much better horror movies of this type, it's just lost in the shuffle. The acting is surprisingly decent with Courtney Hope giving it her all as a small town, adopted 18 year old girl trying to break free and move to the big city and when a chance phone call for an dream apartment in Chicago her friends decides to take her there but things quickly turn for the worst when their car breaks down and hitches a ride with a truck driver. This is when the suspense and intensity kicks in when they find themselves trapped in a preying ground for bloodsucking beings. There were a lot of jump out of your seat moments and some twisted, graphic kills but nothing we haven't seen before and better and when the final twist is revealed the movie loses its steam and becomes more and more repetitive and not as effective and it's a shame because it had so much potential and wasted it pretty quickly. The ending sucked and was very anti climatic like it was setting it up as a franchise or something which I won't mind because I would like to know more about the main female character and the new journey she will take but wouldn't really care if they didn't make one either. I will add though that the After Dark Horrorfest seems to be improving more and more each year but still hasn't come out with an top to bottom great horror film that will be remembered for the right reasons because right now it seems like they are stealing some ideas from other better horror films and trying to make it their own way with their own twists but I give them an A for trying. Overall if you like movies like The Descent, Shuttle, Twilight, The Lost Boys etc. then you might enjoy this one but I can't really recommend it because of the plot holes and flaws covered the film more than its solid elements. More of a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
