Pulse Reviews
Top CriticPulse is the remake of a 2001 J-horror film that was derivative and pokey, even before Hollywood got its hands on it.

Sitting through this movie is a joyless chore. Pulse doesn't have one.

A creepy, clever thriller is re-envisioned into the type of cliché-filled teen horror movie that Wes Craven spoofed in the Scream movies.

As usual, this cheaply made PG-13 horror flick is all atmosphere and no horror.

The movie is far from great, but it certainly holds your attention.

Riddled with obtuse plotting and a noticeable lack of continuity, Pulse steams forward with such unabashed inanity, you really have to give your brain a rest to even make it to the end.

It's intended as an indictment of our overdependence on communications devices, but the premise is out-of-this-world unbelievable.

The new American remake is a soulless imitation.

Pulse, co-written by horror maven Wes Craven, is no Scream - but that doesn't mean it's not a scream all the same.
UGO
The unanswered questions in the original added to the mood, but by trying to answer even just a few of them, this Pulse just gets more confusing and less scary.
As the ghosts suck the life out of their victims, the audience suffers the same fate.

It was hard to find the pulse in this tame remake.

Aparentemente, não há aparelho moderno que seja imune à invasão de fantasmas dispostos a utilizá-lo a fim de se espalharem pelo mundo.
| Original Score: 2/5
A dumbed-down remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's disturbingly abstract Japanese horror film.
Like Naomi Watts and Sarah Michelle Gellar before her, Bell spends this Hollywood remake of a Japanese cult hit at an emotional dead end.

Hideously ugly to look at and not even worth following.

Most contemporary Japanese horror movies concentrate on mood and don't much bother with plot. But this brain-dead remake is full of yammering about suicide clusters, flu epidemics and hard drives.
