Blueberry F. @JoozeFrootz22 Nov 1 If you have been waiting for a horror movie that makes you want to stop watching out of pure existential horror and raw untamed suspense, this is the movie. Pulse changed the entire genre of horror for me. The unbridled disquietude and mind tearing consternation that viewers face watching this is indescribable, it is legendary. Kurosawa’s cinematography draws in the viewer with a unique angle and editing that rivals even modern day horror and thriller movies. If you are looking for a nail biting 2 hour nightmare fest, this one is for you!

See more Darren D @DarrenJD Jul 20 "Pulse," Kiyoshi Kurosawa's ghost story brings an escalating feeling of an apocalyptic level of dread. Kurosawa doesn't deal with jump scares or scenes of gore-soaked violence, as "Pulse" rather plays out with scenes that perform like a nightmare you can't wake up from. "Pulse," could be seen as using social issues like Japan's high suicide rate or its loneliness epidemic, as the scariest aspect is the cold emptiness & the depression brought out from the loneliness throughout the story.

It’s that childhood fear of something inescapable haunting your computer, waiting for you to be alone and showing your too-curious, naive self terrors beyond imagination. Beautiful and restrained use of audio – this is one of those films you want to watch alone, with your headphones on. Really enhances some of the scares which are already visually impactful. The overall message of loneliness and isolation is very heavy-handed, but I can’t say it detracted from the overall experience. What did detract was the ending. It felt like the director’s back was up against the wall of thinking “how would something like this actually end IRL?” and that made for an unsatisfying, rushed conclusion that could’ve been helped by limiting the scale to its cast instead of the entire world.
