    Creepy...

    A delightfully spooky movie much like the 2005 paranormal thriller White Noise(although much better than this pointless predecessor). Pulse is an intense journey into the world of the supernatural that wastes no time in dishing out scares. Very enjoyable.

    Pretty bad, not really that scary. The story didnt reall give you much info. You had to guess the movie and by the time you thought you were comfortable with the plot it was over.

    Compared to every other horror movie that came out of Hollywood this year, this one has some nice touches to it. But watch the original please!!

    Pretty creepy movie, better than the other one I seen which was just like it......shame I forget the name of that but this is rather good

    Remakes of Asian horror films are often quite inferior, but this one manages to improve on the original. It conveys the same themes and has the same aura of creepiness that the were so excellent in the Japanese original. The original was a surreal tale of slowly building horror b...( read more)ut what it was all about was never clear. While ultimately mystifying as to just what is going on, this version is much stronger on plot and not so confusing.

    Okay, so it wasn't amazing, but I have to admit I did enjoy watching it. Two things. Number one: the plot was good, it just wasn't portrayed well. Number two: Is there only me that understands why red tape was used? They even mention it breifly in the film. The red tape doesn't a...( read more)llow them through because it blocks out the frequency that they operate on.



    This would have been much better if there was more explanation to the story. Kristen Bell did pretty well, but her character was ridiculously stupid. Not sure if that was intended, but that is how she came across. If i'm honest, i'll not be recommending this to anyone, ever.

    the most boaring and unscariest and slowest film so far. I would not recommend this film to ANYONE with a decent taste in films, only watch if ur board or a wimp
  • November 12, 2009
    WOW! looks pretty good! Being the science fiction geek that i am, can't wait!
  • November 7, 2009
    First part of a 3 part series. I am a fan of Ian Somerhalder. Wow.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

This domestic redo of Kurosawa's ghost story is a reasonably sinister scary movie that faithfully taps into its predecessor's existential dread and distrust of technology. full review

    This is a bad PG-13 film that is unconvincing & the plot doesn't make no sense.To make it worst by having people getting red tape to cover the windows was silly if you ask me.The film has CGI ghosts that try to make you jump but they not scary & don't have a good suspenseful score to make the scenes to be effective.The film was a waste of time with no thrills.
