Noirs are a dime a dozen, and The Prowler is a film that does extremely little to try and differentiate itself from the others. That's not a bad thing if you're into noir cinema, it's pretty damning if you don't. It's another film I never really cared for, and apart from it being quite short, there's nothing much positive to say.
Like most noirs, there's a tiny bit of action and tons of stuffy dialogue to fill the gaps in between. The performances are pretty bad, the pacing is jumpy and the presentation is bland. It's not too demanding or too ambitious, which saves it from being a complete crapfest, but it's not a genre/era that brings me much joy.
