SnoopyStyle Josh Ockmann is attacked in the library. His girlfriend Mattie Webber (Kristen Bell) finds him in a disturbing state at his apartment and then he hangs himself. After getting mysterious computer messages, her friend Stone (Rick Gonzalez) goes to shut down Joss's computer but it's already taken. Stone is attacked just like Josh. The landlady sold Dexter McCarthy (Ian Somerhalder) the computer. Josh had sent Mattie 3 rolls of red duct tape 2 days before he died. The rolls are split up between Mattie and her friends Izzie Fuentes (Christina Milian) and Tim (Samm Levine). There is an epidemic of suicides in the area.The movie is saturated with the color blue. Along with the Eastern European location, this drains the life out of the movie. It tries quite a few jump scares. Mostly, they don't work because the story is lifeless. The other problem is that the spirits come out of nowhere randomly. It actually gets a bit boring.

JamesMitchell451 Oh boy have I waited a long time for this. My hour of revenge is at hand, at last Pulse you will suffer my wrath!!! When wireless technology puts humans into contact with an unstoppable force that's determined to claim the lives of the living for the souls of the damned, it's up to a group of determined teens to close the gate before it's too late in director Jim Sonzero's remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's apocalyptic horror classic. A doorway between the human realm and the spiritual realm has been opened, and now the technology that once made humankind the ruler of the planet has become its digital Achilles heel. With every call made and every e-mail checked, life is slowly being stolen from the living and claimed for the dead. With no way of turning off the connection and no means of reasoning with a force they cannot understand, a desperate group of college students must discover a means of stopping the takeover before the entire planet is transformed into a cosmic haunting ground for wayward souls in search of a home. ~ (Jason Buchanan, Rovi) Let me just come out and say it: I have no problem when ghost interact with technology, if it is done well. Granted, I don't think a movie has done it well (Does the Grudge 1 and 2 count?). But this movie is just silly. The movie tries to be all "Preventing the apocalypse" and stopping an invasion from another realm, problem is that that those causing said apocalypse are ghost. Yeah, I'm sorry but am I the only one who thinks the idea of Ghost vs Humanity is the stupidest idea ever?! Zombies I'll buy. Aliens I'll buy. Demons, I'll buy. Ghost however, ghost stories like this are supposed to be small scale. When you try to incorporate the larger picture it kind of fall apart. Here is how it basically is: An army of the Grudge ghost vs the entire human population, military included. Casper is trying to destroy humanity. Completely effin stupid. There are no scares in this movie. Even the jump scares fail miserably, which is kind of pathetic actually. And the acting and script... you know what I'm going to say. But what truly seals this movies fate is the ending. That ending has to be the worst ending I have ever seen in a movie ever. Basically everything that happened in the movie... IT DIDN'T MATTER!!!! I haven't been this furious at a film because of its ending...ever. Like this is everything that an ending should not be. This movie can kiss my funky ass.

gothicsilencer Pulse is a movie with a point. Almost a fable. The moral of Pulse is not to mess around with things you don't understand.Pulse has fairly decent pacing, and is more creepy/psychological than shock-horror, which I appreciate in today's torture-porn infused horror scene.While some parts of the movie are slightly unrealistic, in an Amazing Spiderman "no computer nerd uses Bing!" kinda way, for the most part the movie actually has the actors respond in a realistic way to what is happening. When a friend dies they are clearly emotionally disturbed, in a much more believable manner than throwing their hands in the air and screaming. When a static-infused computer-thing comes out of the computer screen, they don't sit there and try to talk to it or touch it, they get the heck out of there! All in all, I actually enjoyed this movie. The premise is good, the music rather unremarkable, the explanation of things is vague enough that I feel they didn't give it all away and ruin the terror, but I can see why people might have an issue with the ending, although I felt it was okay.

TheEmoHunter *SPOILERS! DO NOT READ AHEAD UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN IT OR JUST DON'T CARE*Wow. Pulse. This movie is one bizarre trip. Ever since The Ring became a huge success, it has opened the floodgates, inviting American companies to remake Japanese horror films. Most aren't that great. But something in Pulse was a little different. It wasn't incredible or anything, but the surreality of it was mesmerizing. The movie felt like is took place in someone's twisted dream. There is no gore, there are few boo-scares, and the movie relies on sheer creepiness and dark, subliminal imagery to mess with us. The cinematography is pale and cold, and puts a sense of eerie menace even over the happier parts of the movie. The black spots on the people are really disturbing and add very much to the dreaminess, and it raises the question: don't we all just become black spots after death? I haven't seen the original, which I hear is more ponderous than horrific, but I think that movies should be judged individually, not against its predecessor. After all, the predecessors are almost always better. The bathroom scene was truly symbolically original. Normally the ghost would lock the door to the room and crawl out after her, but instead, they insinuated that ghosts are always around us, and aren't always the monstrous and evil beings Hollywood makes them out to be. Sometimes they just want to make themselves known. The lesson they are trying to teach is that technology is very new. We will learn more and more things through what we find, and we won't always like what we learn. And the entire thought of a ghost apocalypse is just plain freakin trippy. I don't really get the plane crashing. After all, those idiots who run the planes won't let you use your cell. My only complaint are the flat actors. But I guess they could've had a signal, maybe. Anyway, Pulse deserved a 6.5 out of 10, for its bizarre take on the modern Japanese import film and dreamy state.
