Household appliances are generally useful and beneficent items, and most of us who own them take them for granted, but should we? This sci-fi thriller shows what happens when electricity gets a mind of its own, becomes evil and turns every-day gadgets into evil killers. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

  • Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com

    Yes, all of our DVD collections can now be complete with the addition of one of the '80s lamest, blandest, and most TV-movie-ish flicks ever made: Pulse.

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    Somewhere in between the second and third act, it takes a hard left turn into a field full of stupid. The remaining minutes feel rushed and generic

Featured Audience Ratings

  • Dr Blood  


    Electricity, with a mind of its own, torments a family mercilessly with some outstandingly tense moments towards the end.

  • Barry L


    This was actually very well done for its time...spooky and quite fururistic back then.
