PULSE (2006)

JIM SONZERO

Plot

When Mattie's previously happy-go-lucky boyfriend commits suicide, she becomes determined to find out why. With the help of friends she discovers that his sudden depression seems linked to a strange computer programme that he was working on before he died, a computer programme that continues to run even when switched off and acts as a gateway between the world of the living and the world of the dead. A remake of the 2001 Japanese film Kairo, Pulse has some genuinely creepy moments and an interesting premise however, like most J-Horror remakes, the original is far superior.
