"Re-watch - Mar. 12th It had been so long since I last watched Shocker that I barely remembered it. Watching it a second time, that's not too surprising though as the film is a mess.

"30.1, PC Hauska kasarikauhu, jossa Mitch Pileggi käristetään sähkötuolissa elävältä, jonka jälkeen mies siirtyy kehosta toiseen tappamaan porukkaa. Oli hauska nähdä Pileggiä muussakin kuin X-Filesin Skinnerin roolissa, varsinkin kun Shockerissa miehelle suodaan paljon ylinäyttelyä, jotka hän myös vetää kiitettävästi.
