How is the Wes Craven film Shocker?
Thinking about watching it, is it good?

It's flawed, but fun, has that 80s horror charm. Also starring future director Peter Berg.

It’s too long, maybe 10-20 minutes shaved off to make it more snappy would help. Fun, worth watching.

It had Timothy Leary in it and I’ve always felt it was a movie before it’s time. Highly enjoyed it and do a viewing at least once a year.
Craven never did make anything better than the original Nightmare on Elm Street but he made a lot of good horror movies and this is one of those.

I like it. Familiar theme, well executed. Not so well executed it'll change your life or anything, though. If you're a fan of Wes craven, it's basically par for the course.

Jesus fucking Christ. Why can’t I even ask about a movie without getting a nasty response?

Woah, sensitive one. There’s so many movies others dislike, that I love. Double Team with JCVD and Rodman; Stallone’s Dredd come to mind.
Believe it or not, you can enjoy movies that the majority despises.
