Electric

Electric is a 1981 Canadian science fiction horror film written and directed by Nicolas Argyll and starring Paul Gleason, Lenore Zann and Joe Flaherty. In the film, a mild mannered everyman gets struck by lightning durring a thunderstorm, he survives but now he has electrical powers he can emit from his hands. At first he uses it for the benefit of the town before ultimately growing more and more power hungry, going on a rampage.
The film premiered in August 1981 and was well recieved upon its release and became one of the first films produced in Canada to successfully compete with American films at the international box office. It brought Argyll and his macabre style attention from mainstream film audiences and kickstarted his dream to work in Hollywood.
