Pulse, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Pulse (1988)
Movie Count: 15
TV Ep Count: 3
Other Count: 0
Time Started: 7:50am
Plot:
In today's world of modern conveniences, everything we rely on is run by electricity. But what happens if the power we take for granted turns against us? Old man Holger (Charles Tyner) knows. He claims electricity is a living presence, whose voice can only be silenced by getting rid of anything that can hear it. Bill Rockland (Cliff De Young), however, refuses to believe him. It must have been an accident when an electric spark ruptured the gas pipe that nearly killed Bill's son (Joey Lawrence). And it's surely a coincidence when Bill's wife (Roxanne Hart) is severely scalded by their electric water heater. But when his own power tools attack him and an electrical fire turns their home into a blazing inferno, Bill realizes Holger may have been right after all, and perhaps the time has come to finally pull the plug.

My Thoughts:
This is another one I never seen before... but it was cheap and sounded interesting so I decided to take a chance on it. Unfortunately this one is not all that impressive. I mean it has it's moments...but they are few and far between. The movie is slow and I just couldn't get myself to care about the characters. Then there is the fact that the acting itself leaves some to be desired at times. The dvd itself is ok at best as well. The audio and video is fine though some grain in the video... as for extras all you get is a selection of trailers. This is not a DVD I see myself watching much... if I decide to watch it again.

Mirrors, a review by Rich

Mirrors



Attempting to pick up the shattered pieces of his life, a disgraced former cop (Kiefer Sutherland) takes a routine job guarding the charred ruins of a once-famous department store. But the terrifying images he see in the store's ornate mirrors will send him on a pulse-pounding mission to unravel the secrets of the building's past... before they destroy his entire life!

Tense, suspenseful, creepy, frightening, gripping, yes this film scared the crap out of me. Hardened horror genre fans may not be so impressed, but I actually felt disturbed at points, the bath scene and 'rebirth' of schizo girl in particular, and the amazing effects and apt music made this a superb film.
This for me is how a supernatural film should be, so close to reality that it makes you think it could be you, graphic death scenes, and afterwards you actually feel nervous to look in a mirror. A skeptic might say this is rather an overtold storyline and shallow plot (Pete - PLEASE buy this as I want you to review it), but for a horror novice such as me it was great entertainment, and I highly recommend it as a purchase.
A slightly too obvious twist in the tale leaves you with plenty of reflection.

I really like the premise about the puppets being "fabricated Americans". And it was I show which I enjoyed every episode. I followed it when it was originally aired and was disappointed when it was cancelled. It has some great cast like Eugene Levy, Seth Green and Sarah Silverman.
The pilot episode is really great and sets up the show brilliantly.
