Unhinged is weak. Makes me wonder if The Prowler is as well. MBV(not MVB) was weak as well. Remake of Toolbox Murders where you get it in the face that's better.

MBV by a long shot. I saw that one as a kid in the early 80's, but only just recently saw Prowler, and after reading so many raves about the Prowler over the years I was very disappointed. It was too slow and boring, and the deputy was the epitome of the idiotic bumbling sheriff, who for some reason kept using his girlfriend as his partner instead of calling for real help. Also the motive was left too unclear and while there were a couple of good gory scenes, even those disappointed me since there weren't that many deaths in the first place and only a couple looked at all impressive.

That's a hard one but I'll go with My Bloody Valentine, which wins by a hair.

My Bloody Valentine is a much better film than this turkey.

I like THE PROWLER more. Never was a huge fan of MY BLOODY VALENTINE, but I still haven't seen the uncut version.

My Bloody Valentine for me, I find it much more entertaining and has better re-watch value. The Prowler however wins in terms of the murder sequences as it did the near impossible and made gore scary, only other film to have pulled that off is High Tension.

I prefer My Bloody Valentine and even though it was severely cut upon original release, it still played out as a more exciting and well shot creepy slasher. The Prowler is still a goody though, if only just for Savini's graphic make-up effects. It still has a good early 80's slasher vibe and atmosphere to it. I saw a censored version of this before I got to see the uncut one and it was still bloodier than what MBV had on offer.
