Simply as that. The premise of this movie is that some college kids discovered a "frequency" that had never been observed previously using a computer and apparently a computer hack can fix the problem... Clearly the movie was going for some sort of wireless frequency and once the aliens arrived they took over internet servers. There is no such thing as a frequency we never knew existed, not within known tech. There are only frequencies that are not usable for various physics reasons. So anyway, the premise is garbage but hey, its a horror movie... or at least it tried to be. The problem is that its not scary in any traditional sense. There are no scary monsters, just some blurry human looking things that apparently take away your will to live. How? No revealed. Why? Not revealed. Who are these aliens? Not discussed. But hey, they are apparently afraid of the color red! So mysterious.... oooh aahhh. Lame. Stick with Pinhead, Jason and Freddy.… Expand

"Pulse" was a movie that had no emotion, to begin with, there were no shocks that surprised me, but the photography is good, and the story was loose, and meaningless.

Pulse is no other story, this "horror" movie tries to incorporate all of the best elements of horror and fails in all. The "scary" moments are extremely predictable and the story is laughable (dead people attacking by internet and phone connections, wanting to be whole again, how nice of them). The acting could definitely be better, you might be asking yourself if the main characters are mentally challenged since they walk to their demise without hesitating. The only good thing about this movie? It's a great comedy! My friends and I laughed throughout the entire movie, only watch this movie if you're a die-hard fan of Kurosawa's. Otherwise, you might not want to spend your hard-earned cash on this one and you deserve better.… Expand

Moive remakes usually have the red flag indicating to potential viewers not to watch them. I'd sure like to say that Pulse wasn't like that, but I can't. I hate seeing good movies being remade into something that amounts to ........

The movie seemed to have been made to show the director's/writer's hatred of how technology has become part of everyones lives. The beginning of the story spent more time acting as a commercial for razor phones rather than developing the charachters. By the end, the "moral" of the story is smashed repeatedly over your head, but the story itself strays and begins making less and less sense. It seems as though the writer or director began to run out of ideas and borrowed from much better horror/suspense movies such as 28 days later and The Shining. This movie is clearly not worth the ten dollars and definitely not worth the two hours or so of your life that it steals from you.… Expand

"Pulse" blows. This filmmaker obviously has watched "Signs", the way in which he expands the crisis' scope from a local one to a full-scale apocalypse. Give M. Night Shyamalan some credit, the man knows how to direct his actors. For "Pulse" blows. This filmmaker obviously has watched "Signs", the way in which he expands the crisis' scope from a local one to a full-scale apocalypse. Give M. Night Shyamalan some credit, the man knows how to direct his actors. For instance, he'd give more instructions to Brad Dourif than "act really, really crazy, man." As the two leads encounter survivors fleeing the city, that's when the real blowing begins. More over-acting, or maybe it's a consciousness that we gravitate towards pretty people. Would they for just anybody? The bad dialogue ably defeats Kristin Bell from the get-go. She laments not seeing the warning signs of her late boyfriend, and yet it takes ages for her, or anybody to notice that a friend under similar circumstances is also unresponsive to his text messages and cell calls.… Expand
