When psychotic TV repairman, Horace Pinker, goes on a killing spree the son of one of his victims, Jonathan Parker, joins with the police to bring him to justice, but Pinker's capture and execution are just the beginning. A Faustian pact lends the dastardly killer the ability to transfer his energy into any living thing. Written and directed by the inconsistant genius Wes Craven, Shocker is certainly not one of his best but it does still manage to have some kitsch value and is probably best enjoyed with a healthy serving of beer and laughter.
