There weren't many people left on Earth after the spectral apocalypse, and now small pockets of survivors seek refuge from the malevolent spirits while attempting to escape their supernatural grip. But there's not much hope left in the world anymore, only chaos and terror. Upon realizing that their defenseless young daughter has inadvertently waded directly into the black heart of this cataclysmic horror, a divorced couple with nothing in common but their shared love of their daughter prepare to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to wrestle their little girl from the clutches of death. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Incoherent and interminable...
Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
While Pulse 2 is a pretty arid, predictable, and consistently goofy horror sequel, I have to give the guys points for trying something different.

Pulse 2:Afterlife is an awful sequel to an awful remake. This sequel is a collection of recycled ideas from the first and it adds nothing new to the plot of the franchise. All it does is make the viewer frustrated with what he's watching. This is a pointless attempt at making money off a poorly made sequel. The film has a poorly constructed storyline with a bad cast of actors. The film relies on its special effects to create the tension, and in this case, they're not that good looking. The film looks cheaply made, its standard direct to DVD fare and the film is plainly awful. I really don't understand the meaning of doing a sequel to an already bad film. The first one was crap, so naturally, the second will be. There's absolutely nothing going on that will interest the viewer, and watching paint dry is more interesting than this piece of garbage. This is a film that has no merits in trying to deliver something scary on screen, because, well it doesn't and it fails in doing so. This film scraps the bottom of the barrel, and is an absolute waste of time, and this is a film that should've never been made. Awful.

It's not even worth writing up. Don't bother. Bamber's earnestness gives it 1 1/2 stars I give it.

Well i was kinda lookin forward to this cause i thought they would start off were the first one was and that one i did kinda like but this one i cant say alot of good things about it was slow moving and not that interesting and isnt a movie i would expect to be released under the dimension extreme label cause alot of there other stuff has been good. The story is simple all towns have been deserted in the wake of ghosts returning via the web except for the rare few who have taken to hideing out includeing the father and daughter of the story who are trying to outrun the mother who has recently commited suicide and get to a safer place where cellphones and computers no longer exsist. watch at your own risk but i cant recommend it to anyone

One of the worst sequels I've ever seen.
