Rated 2.4 out of 5 by AlloCin\u00e9 users, “Shocker” has garnered reviews that make it an intriguing film to revisit. Here are some of the most enthusiastic critiques!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Benoit Schmidt (5 \/ 5) : “Good, very good Wes Craven with a strikingly realistic Mitch Pileggi… You’ll never watch X-Files the same way again. An original plot, irresistibly humorous scenes (especially in the final scene). In short, a success.<\/i>“<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carne (4 \/5) : “With Shocker, Craven delivers a likable horror movie with a bit of gore, a dash of humor, and an engaging plot that keeps you in suspense right up to the last second of the film. For a fun time, Shocker does the trick with its fast pace, dated special effects, and a well-executed script.<\/i>“<\/p>\n

faeriebandmetal (5 \/5) : “Absolutely massive! Wes Craven creates a truly awesome serial killer who is brutal in his methods. Craven delivers some great gore scenes and a film with a devilish pace accompanied by an awesome soundtrack typical of the 80s with the likes of Megadeth and others!<\/i>“<\/p>\n

Shocker by Wes Craven returns to cinemas on August 20.<\/p>\n
