Released in 1989, Shocker is a thriller and horreur film directed by Wes Craven, running about 109 minutes. “Le 2 octobre 06h45, le meurtrier en série Horace Pinker est exécuté. Le cauchemar ne fait que commencer…” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Horace Pinker, réparateur de téléviseur, est un criminel particulièrement sanguinaire. Malgré une trentaine de meurtres à son actif, la police n'a toujours pas la moindre piste. C'est uniquement grâce aux rêves prémonitoires de Jonathan Parker, fils du détective chargé de l'enquête, que sa cavale tournera court. Condamné immédiatement à la chaise électrique, Pinker attend sans crainte l'exécution de sa peine. En effet, il sait que les 200.000 volts de la chaise ne feront, tout au plus, que lui dresser les cheveux sur la tête.
