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.
This is definitely the best wes craven movie even made, it has amazing embience and the perfect for someone who likes thrillers.
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!🤗
Classic 80s horror. Good with popcorn only
It's like if Freddy Krueger said tv is bad
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.
