This is where we're supposed to find out that the ghosts have some sort of evil scheme planned out and I already mentioned what it was. However, as these movies go, this just wasn't the END of these suicides it becomes an every-day thing, and a threat to the characters and their mental states. It would appear that he was down with some sort of sickness, and this is precisely why he might have hung himself by a computer cable. Anyways, regarding the character of the boyfriend, he is first seen wandering a dark library (horrible idea, but just in my opinion, you know) in the film's opening scenes, and then, out of the blue (or out of the darkness, whichever you prefer), he is assaulted by a library-dwelling ghostie that pops out at him and yells "boo!" We learn that Mattie's boyfriend has killed himself for whatever reason, although that reason (oh yes, that reason) shall be revealed later in the film, and I would spoil it for you, but that would go "against the rules". She is a student, studying to be, if I remember, a.shrink? Yeah, I think that was it.
Mattie (Kristen Bell) is just one, out of far too many (of these "characters"). It is there that they feed off our very souls, hoping to cast the entire Earth in their own dark shadow.īut we must have characters oh yes, we must. It allows ghosts, ghouls, SPIRITS, if you may, access to the world of the living. Now, the story involves, if you recall, a virus spread through electronic devices and the internet.
#PULSE 2006 MOVIE#
The problem is that there are many horror movie clichés, and well-made genre pictures can work their way around them, but this is a great example of a movie that is not well-made, and therefore, it cannot achieve any of what it intends to.īut then again, I suppose it might entertain the stupid teenagers that think they understand that genre, and therefore go to see the film because they think it's going to be loaded with insanely creepy CGI visuals, and they would be right. It takes a good premise - the one from the original - but this time, it adds in characters as thin as paper, and scares that are nothing short of wit-less. While I happily floated in the intelligent, suspenseful depths of the original "Pulse", this remake is too stupid to really enjoy. So bad that, in fact, I could barely stand it. It has no soul, no scares, no atmosphere, with characters and dialogue written as if they were spewed right out of The Asylum and I'll assume you know who I'm talking about. I also assume that they will be the first out of many to be pissed off when it comes to the film's American remake, which is about as bad as every other recent J-horror remake. Don't get me wrong it's a good movie, and it got some solid praise, but the fans love it the most and boy do they know it.
debut in 2005 and has since garnered somewhat of a cult following. "Pulse", also known as "Kairo", was a nice, creepy Japanese horror film that made its U.S.
