Liam D While not thrilling by modern day standards but this is an still a decent little chiller with some effective sound design Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review steve d Done better countless times, Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review kevin c A young boy begins to suspect the electricity in his house is trying to kill him and his family just as it did his neighbor across the street. Hard part is convincing his dad. This was better than I expected. Joey Lawrence plays the young boy. Some pretty interesting kill attempts in this one. Still holds up well for an eighties movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review marco b Electricity decides to become a murderer in a quiet suburban town. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Joel C This is one of those films that had all the production in the right places but just didn't work well. Where it falls short is the script, mostly dialogue and character, plus the fact it was mimicking a few family based horror films before it. The FX look great and filming was good enough. My favourite character was the little kid next door who plays with G.I. Joes and always says "That's bad!" lol Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/21 Full Review Audience Member While Pulse remains an exercise in style and suspense, Golding's first and only directorial effort isn't without flaws. Inaccurately marketed as a slasher, gorehounds may be disappointed with the lack of bloodshed. As Golding stated later, "obviously the horror genre has changed. I wanted to do something that was much more focussed on suspense rather than blood." Admittedly, the director creates an impressive amount of apprehension. However, Pulse often feels like it should be a short story featured in Tales of the Crypt (1989-1996). Throughout the short 90-minute runtime, the director's reluctant to create any thrilling sequences until the final act, meaning it sadly lacks the bite required to make it a memorable tech horror.
