My first thought on the thread to title was House, but the OP is Pulse to the letter. Loved that movie. There's also a seen where a transformer on a pole outside explodes?

Edit: didn't see the post above, so I second Pulse

Edit edit: oh, also just wanted to say I still love poltergeist to this day.. Great movie.

In Shocker, the kid is a senior in high school, IIRC. I think there may be parts of the beginning when he was younger, but I don't think the villain becomes electrically infused until the kid is older. Been a while since I've watched this one.

I am still leaning towards Pulse, but it's been a long time since I've seen this, either, so I am not sure about the garage -- but the kid is young throughout the whole movie.

I just searched RQ and came up with this about Pulse:


I am thinking we have a winner based on the above.

99% sure that is it!! Good work.. was driving me nuts. Will try and watch it tonight

Ah..that makes sense. Apparently I have never seen that film. When you were mentioning Pulse I thought you meant the 2006 Japanese/American remake which sounded nothing like what he was referring to.

I don't think it's Pulse.

That took place in an urban environment. It had more to do PC's/networks and strange entities from somewhere who traveled on wavelengths/signals (PC, cell phone etc) trying to kill us.

I don't think there's any young kid in it. IIRC, they were all college age.

Yes its the Pulse from 1988 ;)

Also anyone looking for a decent flick go watch the Cube series of movies.. Pretty unique
