Shocker
from Messed Up Movies
Today Griffey and Dandino ride the lightning in Wes Craven's Shocker. They examine the evidence that Pileggi's performance as Horace Pinker is one of the most insane in serial killer history, what deal Pinker made to get his ill defined but incredible powers, and Berg's all American boy who can't mind his own business. This film while often seen as a cheap Nightmare on Elm Street redo, Shocker is finally getting it's much needed re-examination as a Messed Up Classic. Synopsis: A psychotic serial killer is finally caught thanks to a high school football player who has a strange connection to the killer. Right before getting executed, he performs a demonic ritual and uses electricity to come back from the dead. Starring: Mitch Pileggi, Peter Berg, Michael Murphy, Camille Cooper Directed by Wes Craven Youtube: https://youtu.be/Mq-wJrsGzUc Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
