Synopsis

Imagine our wireless technologies made a connection to a world beyond our own. Imagine that world used that technology as a doorway into ours. Now, imagine the connection we made can’t be shut down. When you turn on your cell phone or log on to your e-mail, they’ll get in, you’ll be infected and they’ll be able to take life.

Critics' reviews

"If Pulse is unsurprising as a horror movie, as a campaign against the Internet, digital piracy, cellphones, and anything that computes anything, it's a riot"

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
"Ultimately, the glacial pace kills Pulse. What was dreadful and trance-like in the original feels here like nothing-much-at-all sandwiched between some stock horror jolts"

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"Pulse isn't nearly as scary as watching your hard drive crash or having your BlackBerry conk out in the middle of a vital call."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Pulse' mimics the plot fundamentals, but lacks any traces of Mr. Kurosawa’s creepy minimalism and conceptual rigor."

Nathan Lee: The New York Times
"Sonzero’s 90-minute version feels longer than the two-hour original, its turgid pacing and lazy generic ticks inducing the same boredom and lethargy as the onscreen virus"
"An unrewarding experience that won't scare you, but might make you think twice before opening email attachments."

James Dyer: Empire
