Wes Craven's Shocker takes media manipulation to a new level in this story of an evil force emitted from television sets that has the power to kill. The film centers on high school athlete Jonathan Parker (Peter Berg). His estranged father is homicide detective Don Parker (Michael Murphy), who has been working on capturing an elusive serial killer plaguing the town. One night, during a particularly vivid nightmare, Jonathan dreams that while Parker is away on an assignment, his family is murdered by the serial killer. In the dream, Jonathan can identify the killer -- local television repairman Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi). Amazingly, it turns out that Jonathan's nightmare was reality. Using Jonathan's dream as evidence, Pinker is brought to trail, found guilty, and sentenced to death in the electric chair. Before his execution, Pinker makes a pact with the devil so when he is electrocuted, the electricity from the chair will give his spirit powers of evil. At first, Pinker's murderous spirit travels in and out of people's bodies, prompting the host to commit murder. But when it seems more effective to communicate with people by television signals, the spirit is willing and soon people suddenly become possessed by Pinker's spirit through TV screens and engage in murderous atrocities. All this is done by Pinker to exact retribution upon Jonathan, who was responsible for sending him to his death. Paul Brenner, Rovi

Master of terror Wes Craven, creator of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, chose an accurate title for this movie when he wrote and directed it! High school football player Johnathon Parker is horrified by a nightmare in which his family was murdered by television repairman Horace Pinker, the serial killer being investigated by his father, a homicide detective. He is even more terrified... and baffled... by the discovery that his dream actually happened! Because of his determination to see the killer caught, Johnathon becomes caught up in the investigation, which leads to the discovery that Pinker WAS the killer, quickly resulting in his arrest, conviction, and execution via electric chair. But you cannot keep a maniac down, it seems. Because Horace Pinker worshipped an evil force that thrives on electricity, he has now become a terrifying spirit that uses electricity to possess other individuals, among other supernatural powers that he now possesses. When Johnathon realizes what is happening, and that the vengeful Pinker is after him, he is plunged into a exciting and dreadful battle with the killer, one that will lead to a final nail-biting showdown that will guarantee that you will never look at television the same way again! Shocker might not have been the biggest hit in theaters after it was released in 1989, but it features an ingenious combination of terror, suspense, and ironic comedy that makes it a perfect shocker for horror fans, especially those who love Wes Craven!
