After a series of unusual dreams, young football star Jonathan Parker (Peter Berg) captures serial killer Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi), a diabolical television repairman responsible for the deaths of several families. Pinker is sentenced to die in the electric chair, but the execution goes awry and more people are mysteriously killed. Jonathan realizes that Pinker has used black magic to transfer himself into electricity, able to travel through power lines into homes through television sets. Despite the skepticism of his police detective father (Michael Murphy), only Jonathan can track Pinker down and destroy him once and for all. Director Wes Craven combines his serial killer thriller with a dash of social criticism, satirizing the modern obsession with the media in ways similar to his later hit SCREAM. Horace Pinker is a tough slasher in the Freddy Krueger mode, making wisecracks between murders, making SHOCKER a tense but funny horror movie, with appearances by John Tesh and Dr. Timothy Leary (as a televangelist) as well as a cameo by Craven himself. The film climaxes in a wild chase between Jonathan and Pinker through the dangerous television landscapes, a realm where anything can happen.Read full review
I remember when I first saw this back in 1989 when it came out to VHS. I really enjoyed it. I am a fan of Wes craven. I own a lot of his horror films. "Shocker" has some awesome special and visual effects. An awesome cast. The plot in this horror film is pretty awesome. So if you enjoyed the other horror films by Wes craven. Then you must definitely see this one!

Peter Berg, Michael Murphy and Mitch Pileggi star in Wes Craven's 1989 horror film. A teen tries to stop a killer tv repairman who becomes electrical. I like this film and glad to have it on dvd that has good picture and sound, but only a trailer. If you enjoy good 80's horror, I recommend this.
