Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There are very few moments in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's fiercely original, thrillingly creepy horror movie that don't evoke a dreamlike dread of the truly unknown.
Rotten: Did I mention that nothing in the two snail-paced hours of Pulse makes close to a shred of sense?
Fresh: Pulse possesses the dark art to make your pulse pound and your hair stand on end -- with no cheating.
Fresh: You hate to call a ghost movie haunting, but there it is. It sticks around and rattles.
Customer Reviews
This is a Classic!!
Don't bother even reading these revies from Rotten Tomatoes they are rating the AMERICAN REMAKE not the original PULSE japanese one from 2001 being displayed here!!!!
Pulse is one of the revolutionizing horror movies. Very contemporary, it wonders about the virtual world and how alienated we can become through it. It was also inspired by the classic anime series "Serial Experiments: Lain". Outstanding stuff, this is no silly copycat horror movie we see coming from asia all the time, this is quality! Go ahead and watch!
Fantastic!
Pulse is probably one of the best Japanese horror films I have seen in a long time. Some of the scenes may be predictable but still can run a chill up your spine. If you seen Ringu, Ju-On, Audition, and other J-Horror films, be sure to watch Pulse. You will not regret it. Oh, and don't worry it has english subtitles!
This was awful
slow-paced, not creepy at all, plus it made absolutely no sense - at least not to me. How this flick got 73% on Rotten Tomatoes is beyond me. Take your money and buy a couple of candy bars instead.
