Shocker
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Directed by Wes Craven
Produced by Alive Films, Universal Pictures
A visceral slasher-supernatural hybrid that transforms a death-row psychopath into an unstoppable demonic force, blending graphic violence with surreal dream logic and paranoid dread.
About to be electrocuted for a catalog of heinous crimes, the unrepentant Horace Pinker transforms into a terrifying energy source. Only young athlete Jonathan Parker, with an uncanny connection to him through bizarre dreams, can fight the powerful demon.
