A family gets attacked by electricity. I get some Z's

Kelly G.

A family is terrorized in their own house when alien "pulses" travel through their powerlines and into their electronic appliances. This idea plays better on paper than it does on the screen. On the plus side, there's some neat macro-photography of electronic equipment melting. And there is a creepy turn by an old man who claims to be hunting down the source of the pulses. Unfortunately with a PG-13 rating, there isn't any real violence. And the director's idea of suspense is having perennial horror movie doof Cliff DeYoung look around in dark rooms for minutes at a time. If this concept sounds good to you, check out the underrated "Ghost in the Machine" from 1993.
