Reader Reviews
I really wanted to like this film but I couldn't, no matter how many times I watched this I still end up being bored I'm not sure why some horror fans liked this as it seems to have a cult following and the film itself was a flop. The film had an interesting plot but somehow it just didn't work. Shocker is a very weak slasher film done by Wes Craven, the acting was really bad and not to mention the script was full of plot holes. The story's about a serial killer and television repairman named Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) who is sentenced to die for a series of brutal murders, he is sent to be electrocuted with Jonathan Parker played by Peter Berg on watch since Jonathan sent Pinker away for killing some members of his family. Pinker though made a pact with the devil and had been increasing his own tolerance for electricity by jolting himself in his own prison cell and so the electrocution attempt fails when Pinker turns into a burst of energy and escapes through the electricity lines, he also has the ability to go from body to body which means that the main character has difficulties knowing whose body he has entered. This might sound like a fun and interesting horror film but its not its absolute rubbish, there aren't any scares in the film and its kind of hard to take seriously since the killer keeps saying awful oneliners and the overall tone of the film is very bright instead of being dark and gritty, the film had a few bloody death scenes but there was little gore and most of it was disappointing. Well there was one part that I did find interesting which was the chase scene in the park where Horace Pinker keeps switching bodies until he finds a little girl who starts screaming and cursing which was quite funny then she starts operating a bulldozer with an evil grin on her face trying to kill Jonathan but that wasn't enough to keep me interested cause half of the time I just thought it was a very silly and dull film and the special fx looked awful, the only good thing I could think of about Shocker was the great 80's metal soundtrack which totally rocked. Overall I would say it was a terrible film from Wes Craven who has made better films then this obviously but this one just stinks and I suggest you avoid it unless you wanna watch every film done by Wes Craven, now I know that Amazon are not going to post this review cause for some reason I wasn't allowed to review Shocker last year for some odd reason.
