After watching it for less than 10 minutes, we decided that not only did it not make any sense, it wasn't even bad enough to be funny (think of ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES done straight). We then, by mutual consent (about 6 of us) switched it off. It may get good, but though I'll give any movie a chance, I doubt I will ever see more than the first 10 minutes. SHOCK TREATMENT was apparently released only in Calgary and Denver. It bombed horribly, which shows that even Calgarians have good taste. I can't figure out how O'Brien got financing for this project, which makes even MARCO THE MAGNIFICENT look intelligent. On a scale of -4 to +4: -5.
