I cheat today by borrowing a review of Wes Craven's Shocker from an in-prime form Siskel and Ebert.
My opinion on the movie is essentially Siskel's except I didn't see any problem with the blood shown.
Shocker is a neat little flick from Craven that seems to borrow from the pages of Freddy Krueger numerous times (Hey, if you made one, might as well use the playbook to make another).
Grade: B
It's too bad this one didn't catch on well enough for sequels. I enjoyed it and I think, if you're a big fan of the original Nightmare on Elm Street, it could be worth your time for at least a one time viewing.
