Horror Movies & Sci-Fi Movies Database	03.20.08

---

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. Movie Tagline: It traps you in your own house... then pulls the plug.

In every second of every day, it improves our lives. And in a flash, it can end them. The ultimate shocker. Movie Quote(s): Old man: I heard a man on TV one time say that paranoia, is just another word for heightened awareness Stevie: And when she turned it on it shot that metal thing right up into her face, shot it up just like a gun. Isn't that bad? It shot it up right through her eyeball! Old man: It ain't a thing, it's a signal...... a pulse, kinda like a voice. So what you've got to do is to get rid of anything in your house that might have ears to hear it. David Rockland: We had a microwave and everything, but mom just never used it. She was scared of it, she says it could make you sterile. Stevie: [about the dead grass surrounding the late neighbor's home] He blamed us for the dead grass, he thought we were going over to his garden and killing it... like there was some conspiracy involving the whole neighberhood against him Movie Trivia: The old-mans name is Holger, possibly named after the films Production Designer Holger Gross. The Rocklands address in 1947 Kenwood, that is one year after Kenwood Electronics started. SPOILER: Despite being a horror film there is only one fatality in this film - which is off-screen.
