Pulsating Flesh

Pulsating Flesh (1986)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Peter Longfellow (Ray Wells) goes onto the Joan Carson (Tamara Longley) talk show where he talks about how his sperm is so great that he can get anyone pregnant.

That's pretty much all of the story-line you need to know about this Carlos Tobalina film that came towards the end of his career. For the most part Tobalina is considered a joke to many people but I keep going through his pictures and while watching this one I think I finally realized who I'd compare him to and that's Al Adamson. Both men weren't the greatest of filmmakers but both constantly moved forward making films.

What really made me think of Adamson is that both men made some awful movies but at the same time they really weren't among the all-time awful movies that I've seen. Neither one really made a great classic either but they did offer up many "fair" or "average" pictures that were at least better than some of the worst that the respected genres had to offer.

PULSATING FLESH is about as cheap as they come and offers up a rather stupid story. I mean, this guy's whole story is that he has sperm to get any woman pregnant yet the first job he's hired for he ends up pulling out! I know the porn movie needs the money shot but that goes against the whole point of the story. Perhaps I'm just overthinking things. Either way, the film is poorly shot as usual, the performers don't seem to thrilled and that includes Harry Reems as The Milkman and there's certainly nothing erotic to the picture.
