Underrated. It’s not top tier Wes Craven by any means but its not supposed to be... just fun adventure horror; don’t take it too seriously.

A silly B-movie but Wes Craven wasn’t exactly going for an Oscar. It’s kind of fun.

Best ever film I've actually seen that Mitch Pileggi was in! Just a crazy 1 off original that hadn't failed 2 disappoint after many years!🤗

One of Wes Craven's most underrated features. Its silly but its a lot of fun. Pinker is a great villain. The tone is dark. A Craven classic.

Wes Craven's Shocker doesn't reinvent the wheel & could be argued it's just a retread of a Nightmare on Elm Street... but damnit it's fun.

It’s cheesey and dumb in some parts but I didn’t hate it

Takes almost 40min before it gets a bit interesting and then not that much. There are payoffs, but not many and they’re the silly kind.
