The Prowler reviews

The Prowler holds a 6.8/10 average from 97 TMDB ratings.

Edgy noir piece in desperate need of a wider audience. Van Heflin plays Webb Garwood, a grumpy and unhappy cop who is called to investigate a suspected prowler at the home of Susan Gilvray (Evelyn Keyes).

It's the start of a coupling…
— John Chard (9/10)
