Poor attempt by Craven to create a new "Freddy" or good flick?

He was Director Skinner.

Sam The Egg 01-22-2004 04:55 PM

which only supports my theory: X-Files sucks

Ritualistic 01-22-2004 04:59 PM

I didn't like Horror Show. Strange that they came out in the same year and were so similar. Did you know Horror Show was originally supposed to be House 3?

this movie blew

Sick_As_Fuck 01-22-2004 06:39 PM

Decent...

Leslie Daher 01-23-2004 03:34 AM

could have been better..the concept wasn't so bad but the kid was kinda lame and it wasn't very realistic either...not that movies are supposed to be but in some scenes it was just too fake and cheesy...the part that i thought was wretchedly stupid was when he actually became the recliner that jonathon was sitting in and those horrribly fake eyes pop out..BAD!

Never saw it because of the reasons stated above.

Sam The Egg 01-23-2004 01:02 PM

Yeah. Horror Show was originally House 3. But since they changed the title, there now is no House 3. BUT, there's a House 4. Before I knew about Horror Show, this baffled me to no end.
House was good.

Yeah, it was stupid to call the last House film part 4 when they skipped over 3.

But Horror Show wasn't much of a House movie though. It hardly took place in the house.

Sick_As_Fuck 01-23-2004 04:34 PM

Nevermind. This movie's pretty bad.

KRUGERKID13 01-23-2004 04:40 PM

i actually liked the premise for shocker and thought it was an overall good movie but its been awhile since ive seen it.

Elvis_Christ 01-23-2004 05:26 PM

I think Shocker was a kick ass movie it had some good moments.

Madman 01-23-2004 05:51 PM

I like Shocker,it was kinda cool how it was in the vein of NOES.Just be greatful it didnt spawn 5-6 awful sequels if you hated this movie.

meetthecreeper 01-24-2004 05:56 PM

I liked the film it wasnt the greatest but I thought it was pretty good, You know any guy whos name is "Horace Pinker" is going to be a lunatic plus being a TV repair man, that shit rots your brain.

You gotta love a name like Horace Pinker.

Elvis_Christ 01-25-2004 01:35 AM

There was a band called Hoarace Pinker too

IMO the guy had 2 options TV repairman or serial killer with a name like that, funny how he picked both.

I really like Shocker. I have it on DVD which has great Wes commentary.

&

Wasn't House 4 only House 4 in Europe?

I thought the movie sucked. The last decent Wes Craven movie was "The People under the Stairs". He really should stop making movies.
