Fatal Pulse Review
Fatal Pulse came out in 1988 and was directed
by the ever-twitchy Anthony J. Christopher. We have used science (and possibly the box cover)
to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Slasher Horror" genre.
During the time we had our polls open, 1 erotic viewers just like
you weighed in on Fatal Pulse. 1 of 'em thought it was great!
0 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.
This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001.
Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list
to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.
Dave's Review
The premise of this movie was admirable. It pitted naked sorority girls against a maniacal killer. However, like most of its kind, it soon deteriorated due to the hideous acting and dialogue that would have been better suited to an episode of Barney. However, there was one very redeeming feature that came in the form of the sidekick character. His speech habits and daily activities were hilarious. A scene where the main character drags the sidekick out to a murder scene really early in the morning has to be heard to be believed. For that reason, this movie will always have a special place in my heart.
Dave broke it down like so:

Jim's Review
The movie was in all respects terrible. But it had one scene that was beautiful, completely unexpected, and origional. The sidekick/weird friend character, in hopes of saving the main character from being beaten up, dressed in an absurd superhero costume which could only have been created in the 80's. When he ran to his friend's rescue, the only thing he managed to do was get the people to beat him up instead.
