I changed my mind. I saw MBV again and I thought it was great.

MBV is good, much better than I thought it was when I first saw it, but The Prowler is superb, easily one of the best early 80s slashers. I don't really understand the need to compare the two of them, they both stand on their own as really good to excellent examples of the genre, and both should be championed by fans, not compared to see who is the better of the two, they're both good!

while i think MBV is overall a better film, the prowler seemed darker, dirtier, and more intense.. i prefer the prowler, but if i was going to watch a film with friends or at a party, id choose MBV.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE is a superior film on almost all counts, the only exception being THE PROWLER death scenes are better. The flaws with THE PROWLER are more than shallow characters, it's that the characters seem disjointed form each other, where the characters in MY BLOODY VALENTINE interact naturally like people who knew each other intimately. Both are decent stories and both utilize locations in adding color and depth.
I like them both, but MY BLOODY VALENTINE is a favorite I watch frequently whereas THE PROWLER gets a viewing maybe once a year or so.

MBV is superior to TP in every way that I can think of. It sodomizes TP with a big ol' rusty pitchfork!

My Bloody Valentine is more fun. It never takes itself too seriously.

Prowler beats MBV hands down, better gore, better atmosphere, better acting, better everything.

Except for pacing, and screen writing and, well, everything

I absolutely love My Bloody Valentine. I just like The Prowler better. So it's The Prowler.

MBV, while not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, is brought down by some really embarrassing acting and a schmaltzy romance side story. I also found it at times pretty tedious and the bulk of the mine action at the end not nearly as suspenseful as I had previously thought. Pretry disappointing how certain rewatches of old favorites can really let you down over time.
The Prowler on the other hand is the complete opposite. A film I dug but not immensely improved substantially after the 3rd or 4th viewing. In addition to the great Gore it's actually one damn scary film!
Prowler all the way.

My Bloody Valentine
and it isn't even closean all-time slasher, with
The Prowler
being merely an average entry.
