The way Contamination begins, you’d swear you were watching the beginning of Fulci’s Zombie. The same New York waterway… the same unresponsive boat. Both films even have the same hero: Ian McCulloch.
This film was reportedly one of the only slasher films to be discussed at length on the Donahue Show. They showed the nail gun murder and the audience was appalled. What did they expect?
The Prowler is absolutely disgusting… I love it. Every death scene has been extended from what I remember, and blood explodes by the gallon. Nothing is implied, you see it all.
