After college student Taguchi commits suicide, a number of young adults living in Tokyo witness terrifying visions transferred across the Internet. As more people disappear throughout the city, the Internet becomes a breeding ground for malevolent spirits. Three seemingly disconnected stories follow Michi, Ryosuke, and Harue as they attempt to solve the mystery behind the ghostly visions that are seeping beyond their computer monitors.

Being kind of old, this was actually a pretty good movie.

The story/plot was decent. I didn't like the characters very much...but that may be because some of them had...strange acting.

Although, I did have one favourite character. He was really cool. I even liked one of the girls a lot. (Not at first, though.)

Even though "Pulse" had some scary scenes, I still think they could have made it more interesting and less slow-paced.
The best part about this movie (for me) was the ending. The movie was boring near the beginning, but it got really interesting near the end.

Anyway, I recommend this to people who are looking for something to take away their boredom or give them a little scare.
It might give you nightmares...

I hope my review was helpful :D

Atmosphere that carried a vague plot.

Something we often get from Japanese horror - vague plot with good atmosphere, great music and sound effects and still images inducing panic response. That’s also what we’ve got from Pulse.

By the end of the movie we are offered little to no real explanations, and most are left to the viewers interpretation. Is this a commentary about the dangers of the internet? Is this a commentary about the human need for interactions and the terrifying portrayal of loneliness? It’s up to the viewer to decide.

The characters were rather bland. I kind of stopped paying attention to who is who at some point, and it did not really take away from the watching experience. I honestly believe them as individuals was not that important plot wise.

The thing I loved about Pulse was the atmosphere and built up tension. There are no cheap jump scares and all the horror is based on the fear of the unknown, perfect choice of music and the prolonged shots of uncanny shots.

Overall, I would recommend it if you are in for a rather calm, but tense horror.
