Dr. Shock: Lessons Learned from Socket

  • Getting struck by lightning will turn you into an electricity freak.
  • Electricity freaks can find support groups.
  • Said support groups will join hands and share a jolt via a miniature generator.
  • Lightning strikes will turn a slob into a neat freak, a sex fiend, and eventually a killer.
  • Pray that the doctor who attends to you at an emergency room does not have a surgically implanted electrical plug in his arm.
  • Electricity freaks have great sex!
  • The main character in this film seems to have not paid his cable bill as all of his TV's just play static ... and yes, this is a nod to both Poltergeist and Videodrome.
  • A low budget does not necessarily mean a bad movie: Socket proves this. Even though the film makers could not go full throttle with this Cronenberg-like venture, it is still a fantastic and disturbing film.
  • Gay characters can be in a film, and their sexuality can be secondary to the plot ... who'd have thunk it?
  • Derek Long and Matthew Montgomery are not only decent actors (Long plays Dr. Matthews the film's lead - and Montgomery plays the intern/co-dependent love interest), but are hotter than Georgia asphalt once they start doing the nasty on screen!
