About
Synopsis
Shocker (1989) is Wes Craven's horror-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Serial killer Horace Pinker sits down in the electric chair — and comes back angrier than ever.
Executed but not gone, Pinker turns himself into raw electrical energy. He rides power lines, hijacks television broadcasts and jumps between bodies. Only Jonathan Parker, a college athlete haunted by strange dreams that somehow connect him to the killer, has any chance of stopping him. Craven wrote, directed and even stepped in front of the camera himself.
Made in 1989, the film mixes straight slasher scares with a sharp jab at America's TV obsession — Craven's B-movie answer to his own Nightmare on Elm Street mythology. Stream Shocker online on iFILM.
