I remember listening most of Craven's commentary on DVD and the man himself though that Shocker turned out overtly silly. It isn't a good film, and wasn't well received either. A bit too obviously trying to create another Freddy style franchise character too. Craven always was incredibly hit and miss, and Shocker is more of a miss. Couldn't have put it any better myself. I was quite disappointed, and it while it had some interesting angles, it was still pretty meh! Craven was more in his element again with The People Under The Stairs-91' soon after, which was a hit and a better film. The best movies about executed criminals who come back were already made prior in the late 80's with Prison-87' and Shadow Of Death aka as Destroyer-88, my favorite, which doesn't have the supernatural angle. There was also The Horror Show aka House 3-89', which is pretty meh too!
