Body

Avalon Bay, 1945: On the night of her graduation dance, young Rosemary and her date are brutally murdered by a prowler thought to be a jilted soldier home from the war. The killer was never found. 

Thirty years later, the dance is held again for the first time since that horrific evening - but something else may have also returned... Tonight, the teens of this sleepy town will meet their grisly ends at the hands - and pitchfork, blade and more - of THE PROWLER! 

Also known as Rosemary's Killer, this gruesome shocker is one of the cruelest 'body-count' movies of the 1980s, thanks to razor-sharp direction by Joseph Zito (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) and graphic gore effects by Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Maniac). Hollywood legends Farley Granger (Strangers on a Train)  and Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs) star in this rarely-seen sleeper from the golden age of slasher films.
