Are you ready for the most terrorizing digital invasion to date? Prepare yourself for PULSE 3, the newest release under the Dimension Extreme label from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.
Seven years after the last attack by the “soulless ghosts” who haunted the human race twice before, the world is left void of all deadly electronics that almost destroyed it… or so we thought. Living a primitive existence on the outskirts of the city, human survivors are surviving without any trace of technology. That is until 16 year old Justine enters the city and, letting her curiosity get the best of her, opens a working laptop and unknowingly unleashes the most terrifying attack the survivors have ever faced. In a world already torn and without hope, can humanity make it through the toughest struggle of all time?
From director Joel Soisson (Pulse 2), the pulsating supernatural fright-fest stars Rider Strong (Cabin Fever) and Brittany Finamore (Silent Night, Deadly Night) as Justine, PULSE 3 is a horrifying and gruesome tale that will make you reconsider opening you laptop ever again.

Tammy Wynette, otherwise known as “The First Lady of Country Music,” is one of the genre’s most celebrated and influential artists. Throughout the late 1960s and ’70s, Wynette reigned supreme on the country charts and celebrated 20 #1 hits. Born Virginia Wynette Pugh, Wynette’s career began in 1965 when she started performing live regionally, eventually making some appearances with Porter Wagoner. A single mother of three, she moved to Nashville and signed with Epic Records in 1966, changed her name, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Married five times, Wynette’s songs reflected her tumultuous love life, including her 1969 marriage to George Jones, with whom she recorded various duet songs and albums. Witness the rise of one of country music’s finest performers on Legendary Performances, with Wynette’s smash hit “Stand By Your Man,” seen here in a 1969 performance on The Wilburn BrothersShow; “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” from her 1968 performance on the CMA Awards; her 1967 performances of “Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad” and “I Don’t Wanna Play House” from an episode of The Bill Anderson Show; and a 1976 Johnny Cash and Friends performance of “‘Til I Can Make It On My Own.” The Wynette/Jones performances featured on Legendary Performances include “We Loved It Away,” from the TV series Pop! Goes The Country, and “Golden Ring” and “Near You” from the show Country Music Hit Parade.
This collection of rare performances includes footage captured on film and video between 1967 and 1980 that has since been archived by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Extras on the DVD include an interview with Tammy Wynette, footage of Wynette and George Richey’s wedding, as well as her Country Music Hall of Fame induction.
