The Prowler Reviews
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
The Prowler becomes a twisted vision of American entrepreneurship, with the two leads forming a grotesque nuclear family.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
The rectangle-within-a-rectangle symmetry of the window within the frame of the movie screen in the opening scene reinforces the notion that the filmgoer is essentially a licensed Peeping Tom...
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
a ferociously perverse noir masterpiece
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Director Losey and screenwriter Trumbo aren't providing the usual mystery tale here.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A neat noir thriller.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Losey's script is fine, but doesn't really draw the audience in, or inspire compassion for any of the characters.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The notion of a police stalker bending rules for the sake of controlling a situation and possessing a woman would continue to fuel mind-benders for decades to come.
The New Republic
David Thomson
It's really a quick, deft analysis of a kind of world where corruption and easy answers are on the advance.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The Prowler may be the creepiest of classic noirs.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This hallucinatory film noir is still, for me, Joseph Losey's best film.
Variety
Variety Staff
A bawdy, daring story.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Losey's magnificently ruthless dismantling of his characters' veneers and delusions and self-made traps
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A down and dirty masterpiece.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... a classic of working class envy, restless resentment... and the brutal opportunism of a former golden boy willing to do anything to get what he's sure is due him.
