PULSE (2001)

Cast

Plot

Inexplicable suicides, strange behaviour and mysterious disappearances are plaguing the citizens of Tokyo. A young woman, Michi attempts to unravel the bizarre death of her work colleague while a computer novice, Kawashima, tries to find out why his computer seems to have a life of it's own. These two storylines collide in Kurosawa's massively influential nightmare tale of Armageddon, where the world of the dead begins to seep through into that of the living. Hauntingly atmospheric and filled with much imitated and genuinely spine-tingling imagery it is a pity that it's impact is tempered by the fact that we've seen it all before.
