Pulse (1988)

[Dawes]

This was a mid-1980's straight-to-video flick. It was about a strange type of electrical force/entity that attacked people through their electrical appliances (TV's in particular). Not an Academy Award winner, but I enjoyed it. Would be interested to know if anyone's ever seen it.

Sounds, well, maybe not good, but watchable

According to imdb:

An intelligent pulse of electricity is moving from house to house. It terrorizes the occupants by taking control of the appliances, either killing them or causing them to wreck the house in an effort to destroy it. Then it travels along the power lines to the next house, and the terror restarts. Having thus wrecked one household in a quiet neighbourhood, the pulse finds itself in the home of a boy's divorced father whom he is visiting. It gradually takes control of everything, badly injures the stepmother, and traps father and son, who must fight their way out

I think I have seen this actually - late at night on the SciFi channel... All I really remember is a big fire and the fact that Joey Lawrence (from Blossom and sometime pop star) was in it.
