{movie} shocker (1989)

Frightmeister Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) creates a new boogieman in Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi). All the electric chair does to Horace is turn him into a high-voltage phantom that haunts Jonathan (future director Peter Berg), the boyfriend of the girl he gruesomely murdered (there's also a psychic link between the two). Michael Murphy and Heather Langenkamp (of the original Nightmare on Elm Street) co-star.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This was an interesting one. I had seen it in bits and pieces on TV, but never all the way through, but I was glad that I got it on DVD as it's a very good Wes Craven movie with a descent story. They don't make horror movies like this anymore: horror movies that tell a story. Albeit, not the best film ever, it's enjoyable. It starts out really good, falls apart a little in the middle, but manages to end well.
