Pulse (2006)

Pulse.
The thing I liked most about this movie was its poster. Sad to say.
Pulse is the American Version of the 2001 Japanese horror film Kairo, and basically it is everything you would never want to go wrong in modern life going wrong.
The Modern nightmare.
Josh - the character who’s story the plot revolves around, is attacked in the library by a humanoid spirit, that sucks the will to live out of him.
He does a disappearing act on his girlfriend Mattie, who gets worried and comes looking for him and finds him shortly before he commits suicide.
Mattie and her Friends start getting on line messages from Josh asking for help but they assume his computer is still on and that a virus is creating the messages.
It turns out that Joshes computer is off though, and has been sold to a guy named Dexter, who also get involved in the mystery, trying to figure out what is going on.
I won’t spoil the rest for you, I will even challenge you to seeing it, although it’s not that great a film, just to see if you can keep track of the characters and events in this movie.
(I prefer movies that don’t demand all of my brainpower and a notebook just to keep track of the players…)
According to Mermaid Heather, who has seem both versions, the American one is a little easier to follow…
