Answers: Or is it just in the movies?
It suddenly sends a rush of blood to your heart, which takes it away from your brain, causing you to pass out.
An electric shock can occur upon contact of a human's body with any source of voltage high enough to cause sufficient current flow through the muscles or hair. The minimum current a human can feel is thought to be about 1 milliampere (mA). The current may cause tissue damage or fibrillation if it is sufficiently high. Death caused by an electric shock is referred to as electrocution.
It may be the sudden release of addrenalin. It speeds up the heart and slows down other things. The combination may not work for some people.
