Review of Shocker (1989) by Luciusmcgibbon — 29 Apr 2020
The acting is lame, the soundtrack is so 80's it almost stinks of Hulkamania, the effects have aged so, so badly, and the story is a pretty under-cooked goulash of low-hanging horror tropes. And yet it works.
.. somehow... This movie doesn't take itself seriously for one moment, which makes it fully watchable and, dare I say, fun. It really doesn't do much to elevate Craven's resume, and yet I just can't bring myself to dislike this movie.
