Spooky music by Jay Ferguson and excellent special effects by Richard O. There is some gore but not enough for more squeamish viewers to truly get upset about. Assisted by a top notch crew, Golding is successful at combining a number of genuine jolts with some traditional suspense. Some viewers can take issue with the concept, or the fact that it's never sufficiently "explained", while others will appreciate the ambiguity of the plot. ![]() It's written and directed by a man named Paul Golding, who does a pretty good job. "Pulse" offers a fresh change of pace from the slasher films that often took predominance in the 1980s. ![]() Unfortunately, this happens while a pulse of electricity - which seems to have become some sort of sentient being - is out to terrorize and destroy home owners in the neighborhood. Ever likable Cliff De Young plays divorced father Bill, whose son David (Joey Lawrence of future 'Blossom' fame) comes to stay with Bill and his new wife Ellen (Roxanne Hart) for a while. Good, above average sci-fi / horror / thriller makes the most out of a fairly unique premise.
