Description

Master of horror, Wes Craven, directs this exciting visual treat which introduces a diabolical mass murderer who harnesses electricity for unimaginable killing powers. About to be electrocuted for a catalog of heinous crimes, the unrepentant Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) transforms into a terrifying energy source. Only young athlete, Jonathan Parker (Peter Berg), with an uncanny connection to Pinker through bizarre dreams, can fight the powerful demon. The two dive in and out of television programs, chasing each other from channel to channel through stunning scenes of disaster, game shows and old reruns. A blend of dazzling special effects, jolting humor and an electrifying soundtrack, Shocker is an ironic tale of terror and madness in the video age.

    This is Wes Craven’s ultimate masterpiece!Although it’s a shame that it didn’t become a franchise. Maybe for years to come Blumhouse productions may make a sequel to it and it will finally become a franchise. Just like the famed Freddy Krueger from ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ (1984) and all of it’s sequels.
  • Wes Craven’s Shocker lives up to its title!
