A Real soundtrack that Rocks! Shocker is a 1989 classic!.......2005-03-01

This is one soundtrack that packs a punch.Unlike today's music, this soundtrack really rocks! Proving once again that the 80's had the best music.This is a great metal/hair/rock album.
1.Shocker(10/10)The title track kicks major ass.Paul Stanly(of kiss)on vocals, Vivian Campbell(of Dio and Whitesnake)on guitar, Rudy Sarzo(of M.A.R.S. and Whitesnake)on Bass, and Tommy Lee(Motley Crue)on drums.This song will blow you away.
2.Love Transfusion(10/10)Another great metal song.Iggy Pop on vocals, Guy Mann Dude and John McCurry on guitars among many others involved.
3.No More Mr Nice Guy(1/10)Megadeath sucks on this one.Megadeath ruined this song.Horrible job.Their a good band on their own, but they're suckin all over the place on this one.Shame on you Megadeath!
4.Sword and Stone(9/10)great song performed by Bonfire.Excellent job.This one was written by Bruce Kulick(of Kiss).
5.Timeless Love(9/10)A great love ballad.If you want a ballad dine right 80's style this is a good one!Performed by Saraya.They do a fine job.Their first self titled release is worth buying.This song is just a sample of what the can do.
6.Shockdance(4/10)Pretty bad song, but it is so bad it's actually funny to listen to because of the rap(Pinker he's a stinker)Ha Ha Ha!Alice Cooper does the vocal work!
7.Demon Bell(10/10)This is the best song Dangerous Toys ever performed.A killer tune.Love the Guitar riffs!
8.The Awakening(6/10)Not a bad song.Pretty decent metal tune performed by Voodoo X.
9.Different Breed(3/10)Pretty horrible song by this loser band called Dead On.More like Dead End which is what they came to!
10.Shocker(reprise)7/10)Continuation of te chorus line at the end of the first song.

Super soundtrack!.......2004-10-19

One of the greatest 80's metal soundtracks ever! The main theme "shocker" is absolutely rockin'!!! Also the old song "no more mr. nice guy" sang by Megadeth is much better than the original version... Too bad they haven't brought this album out again... It's a must for every metal fan!

For a soundtrack not bad.......2003-12-13

I got this when it first came out. The highlight for me on this
is the song, The Awakening by a band called Voodoo X. Very, Very Cool Tune. Another stand out is Sword and Stone by Bonfire, Demon Bell by Dangerous Toys. The title track has some various artist on it. Definately a good cd if you like the 80's metal scene, as i do. But definately check out The Awakening by Voodoo X.

This is a Shocker - Get Ready and Order It.......2007-03-09

I love this trashy, but scary film. It's a guilty pleasure, one not to share with minor children or females of the species.

Excellent Wes Craven movie.......2007-01-12

I liked this movie from when it started to when it ended. I didn't have any complaints about this movie at all. It had all of the "scares" of any horror film out there. It did take a small twist of how the killer comes back which I thought was ingenious. I won't give it away because it would spoil the movie to anyone that wants to watch it. I recommend this movie to anyone that likes the 80s horror flicks.

THE SOLO JOURNEY OF HORACE PINKER.......2006-11-18

It's obvious that Wes Craven had high hopes for Horace Pinker to be another Freddy Krueger, but alas and alack, it didn't happen. Perhaps it's best. Although SHOCKER is a competent little thriller with some neat ideas, Pinker just isn't the kind of villain that could sustain as many films as the incomparable Freddy did. Mitch Pileggi does a great job as the bald-headed bad guy, but his shtick of being "electrified" would have been limited and eventually redundant. Taken on its own merits, though Craven delivers a well-done if not memorable 'shocker' in its own right. Peter Berg does a good job as the hero, and Michael Murphy is dependable as Berg's adopted father. Although the script is at times a little confusing and improbable, the entire effect is good for a few shocks and laughs.

not realy very good.......2006-06-27

wes craven must have been tring to do the elm street thing again with this low brow non horror movie. a waste of film and time and the killer in this movie doesn't have 1/10 the scare factor of freddy!!!! skip it!!!!!!

A Great Start To What SHOULD Have Been A Long-Running Series.......2005-08-28

With Horace Pinker, "Shocker" aims to create a new horror icon on par with Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees. It doesn't succeed the first time around, but with time it could have come close. Pinker is a menacing and original villain, visually distinctive as is necessary when you're going for the icon-level, and one of the most purely nasty villains in his vein. So when I say Shocker's lead didn't reach the level of a Freddy or a Jason that's not a put-down. It's a high mountain to climb to attain that kind of tremendous status, and this movie was off to a good start but sadly never got the chance to follow up on its potential with sequels that might have been even better. Maybe it's not too late. Apparantly "Sleepaway Camp", "Happy Birthday To Me" and a couple of other horror movies from a long way back are slated to be continued with new sequels (not remakes) after all this time, so who knows? Not every horror movie needs a sequel (a few, like "Dagon", "In The Mouth Of Madness" and "Mute Witness" come to mind that I think are best served Without one) and some that do call for a sequel only need one or two, but I think the field is best served when it has a few ongoing series where you can count on a new installment at least every two or three years on average. They don't have to run forever (except F13; that can go to Chapter Twenty and beyond as far as I'm concerned), but phase new ones in as others wrap out. In the 80s/early 90s, F13, Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser, Halloween and a few others all came at a good clip, Most of the time delivering a chapter that was very good if not ouright outstanding. I would have liked for Shocker to have had a few more turns.

As for the single entry we got, the early minutes show the apprehension of the brutal, very sadistic Pinker while still in his human, non-supernatural form, and follows through with the trial and execution, at which point the character returns from the dead, having utilized some kind of dark magic that's transmuted him into some kind of cross between a ghost and an electrical entity travelling through the wires. And thus his rampage is continued and upped considerably. There's nothing likable about Horace, but he is a fearsome onscreen prescence and a good villain; well-played by Mitch Pileggi. The incredibly cute Cami Cooper, as the main female in the movie and the girlfriend of the character who becomes Pinker's primary adversary, is also very memorable, and without question hits the nail right on the head in the 'Visually Impressive' department. Very good but not really close to the best of its kind (hence part of the reason there should have been sequels - they could have picked up some of the potential that slipped through the cracks), I'm unsure whether to give this a strong three stars or a tentative four. I realize a lot of reviewers seem to think a three is a low rating, but I consider it pretty high; I prefer to leave the four-stars and five-stars for the really excellent/outstanding and for those that are among the best ever (now director Wes Craven's previous creation of a horror icon, the first Elm Street, got five stars and it would have been unthinkable to give it anything else). I guess I'll go with a really strong three and hope that doesn't make people think I'm cutting it short; on my scale a low three is still usually pretty good and "Shocker"'s a high 3-Star, about a seven, maybe 7.5, out of ten. Recommended.
