Jonathan O Shocker has some nightmare on elm street vibe but it's about a killer goes people's body and possessed them and trying to murder Jonathan *not me lol* but is really bloody supernatural slasher horror with dark humor and is quite fun and the special effects looks amazing and some familiar locations including my MT.SAC which I used to be there but is really entertaining along with great heavy metal songs. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Carson P This was an interesting an awesome horror film it’s has an original idea of a madman that overacts and electrocutes himself this was a suspenseful and scary as hell Schocker indeed while it isn’t as good as the other 70s and 80s classic films like there were a few nuusearing scenes like him biting off the guards chin like rubber but it was overall a decent watch I give it a 6/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Liam D This is Wes Craven at his most silly and cheesy. It works for the most part Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Allan C Wes Craven rips himself off, creating a knockoff of Freddy Krueger with Mitch Pileggi (Skinner from THE X-FILES) as Horace Pinker, a serial killer who got the electric chair, but who in death now has the ability to kill people through their electronics. Okay, it's different from killing people in their dreams, but the film starts the same as the original Elm Street film, with Pileggi building some sort of mysterious electronic device. Also, the main character, played by Peter Berg, who I always thought was a dopy actor, even in good films like THE LAST SEDUCTION, but who became a solid writer/director with movies like FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and THE KINGDOM, dreams about his family being killed and then it happens. Although Craven clearly had hopes of launching a new franchise with SHOCKER, he is a solid filmmaker, so although his script feels unoriginal, the film is well crafted, even when it feels too jokey to be scary. Michael Murphy, John Tesh, Ted Raimi, and Elm Street alum Heather Langenkamp (in a cameo) also appear in the film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Mark A Not sure at all why this hasn't got higher reviews. One of the best action horror films ever. Not to mention it has a killer soundtrack with dudes of wrath. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/23 Full Review Chris M This is from horror master Wes Craven and I think he was hoping Horace Pinker would reach the same level as Freddy. But there was a scene in the trailer where Pinker was on the electric chair where his last words were "No more Mr. Nice Guy." Considering that all the marketing was tied to that one line, it was stupid to cut it. Plus I think Pinker has as much screen time as Jason did in "Jason Goes to Hell". As between him catching him and him taking over other people. We don't see much of the villain. But it is entertaining and even scary. Not Wes Craven's best but no where near his worse. Worth checking out for the batshit final battle. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/22 Full Review Read all reviews
