My expectations were low for this horror flick, and as much as I really wanted to be scared, the film didn't do it for me. This is sort of like the movie 'White Noise' with Michael Keaton a few years back, with technology being the driving force behind ghosts trying to enter the realm of the living. In this case, the audience never really gets an explanation for why these spirits have come to try and take over the souls of the living. All we know is that a college-aged computer geek hacked into someone else's system and unwittingly released these cyber-spirits. The chick from Veronica Mars is in this film as well as bunch of other no-namers that I vaguely recall seeing in other teen-genre films in the last few years.
I won't say Pulse is disappointing, but I can't really recommend it either. The concept is interesting, but the plot is muddled, and ultimately the director resorts to some pretty cliched horror movie tricks to finish off...
1.5 out of 5 Stars
