Fatal Pulse is badly made on all counts. It seems almost to have been made as an object lesson to demonstrate the truth of the feminist objections to the slasher cycle. It is entirely centered around having a young nubile girl killed every few minutes. Most of them are killed while topless and all except the heroine contrive to bare their breasts at least once during the film. The gratuitous and unredeeming nastiness of some of the killings – like the scene where Cindra Hodgdon is tied up in a bath and electrocuted – is quite repellent. The film works on slasher movie logic – despite the methodical slaughter of apparently every girl in a sorority house, not one of them ever decides to move out or act in a self-protective way, nor even do the police deem it worthy to place a guard on the building. The hero is extremely wooden and few of the bimbos any better. There is an awful and intrusive music score.
