Wes Craven can do no wrong
i will never say Shocjer is a great movie, but I will profess my love for this film always. its fun and had a villain that could have become a franchise. It has cameos, lots of blood, and showcases Wes Craven's ability to create characters that can live and act outside of the rules of the normal world. It was meant to serve as a warning against the dangers of letting life revolve around too much TV. dont take it too seriously, and just have fun watching it.
If you love hunting for easter eggs in movies then this one has you covered. A cameo by Wes Craven with a shit-ton of nightmare on elm street mixed in. A true horror fan will see them all. Lots of laughs toward the end. Wish my TV remote did that. Graphics are not half bad for a late 80s flick either.
So many movies after this would take pieces of this film and make whole movies. Look at the Denzel Washington thriller where the killer lives inside others just by touching them.
