I don't intend to waste too much time or too many lines on this amateurish piece of crap, but let's just say it's a good thing this movie doesn't even count five miserable votes yet, here on its IMDb-page. The less people know about the existence of this complete turd, the better! Steve DiMarco's big debut is a shot-on-poor-video-quality anthology, scripted down without the slightest bit of imagination and starring some of the most insufferable actors & actresses you'll ever see. All three stories are unspeakably boring and seem to last two hours each! After literally struggling myself through the first one, I was amazed that only 27 minutes had passed. Barely still able to keep my eyes open after the third & final story, the sole thing I discovered was that all the incoherent tales revolved on poisonous liquids. That actually makes it even lamer, since there are no bloody murder sequences or sinister set-pieces. Annoying tale #1 is about an evil love-potion (a premise that got handled much better in a "Tales from the Crypt"-episode starring Muriel Hemingway and David Hemmings), crap tale #2 involves a large scaled crime-conspiracy gone awry and stupid segment #3 has something to do with insurance fraud. But it doesn't matter, as NO ONE should ever watch this terrible, terrible excuse for a motion picture. I assure you have seen grade school plays that were executed more adequately. "Shock Chamber" easily ranks among the five worst movies I ever had the misfortune of seeing. Avoid it like leprosy!
