Prowl (2011)

By Jody. Score: 4/10

A group of small town friends want to party in the big city, but when their car breaks down, accepting a ride in a semi-trailer proves to be a fatal mistake.

I suppose even After Dark couldn't resist jumping on the vampire bandwagon, but this film not only adds nothing to its subgenre, but rips it off shamelessly.

SPOILERS ahead for the rest of the review.

Here is a breakdown of the actual 1 hour 16 minutes of  runtime:

- 25 minutes of people talking and partying.
- 15 minutes for the '30 Days of Night' vampires to kill off everyone except 2 characters
- 25 minutes of the the two survivors hiding and talking
- 10 minutes of "supposed-to-be-shocking-but-isn't-at-all" exposition
- 2 minutes of epilogue

While nothing overtly stands out as bad, too many movies have already done what this movie tries to do, and they did it better.
