Rish Outfield's reviews
Utter crap. The greatest of horror subgenres, the T&A Slasher, claims another victim.
Produced by the "Great Entertainment Group," this is a very generic story: the girls in a sorority house are being offed one by one. Nobody knows who is doing it, but the girls keep going off by themselves, helping the killer out greatly.
This had lower production values than public access TV and was filled with lots of stuff we've seen before, terrible acting, and great forgetfulness. "My three roommates were butchered like pigs, it's raining too. I think I'll go jogging now." According to this film, college girls spend all day looking at themselves naked in front of the mirror (why didn't I hear this before?), and EVERY girl in the film appears topless, except the heroine, who does have a love scene. There were no scares, with everything too dumb to provoke anything but laughter. The stoner guy who was supposed to be amusing was actually annoying, and accompanied by a moronic BOING sound so imbecilic I smashed two television sets before I got through the movie. The girls scream A LOT, but nobody hears them, even if they're out in public. The obvious red-herring crazy guy is only crazy when he's a suspect, and then he's perfectly normal. The crazy dude was such a Martin Sheen-lookalike, I started telling the (oft-broken) TV, "It's just Martin Sheen, go back to stripping!" When I read the credits, I was astounded to find that the crazy dude ended up being M.S.'s brother! The boob-obsessed killer was both silent and omni-present, something that has worked in other films, but not in this one (the mute and everywhere part, not the other thing). Fatal Pulse was just bad (what does that title mean?), and though it was mildly entertaining in its incompetence, it's not really worth seeing.
I'd Recommend It To: boob-obsessed dumb kids.
