Pulse
Plot:
Mattie is a college student who worries about her boyfriend Josh, after he disappears for a few days and won’t return her calls. She and the rest of their friends are devastated to learn that he died, but are even more freaked out when they start getting messages from his computer. Mattie investigates and learns that all of his belongings, computer included, were sold to pay his back rent. Dexter, the guy who bought the computer, shows her that it’s buried in the trunk of his car. As the messages grow weirder and people in town start committing suicide, the two learn that some viruses aren’t just inside the computer.
Trivia:
Based on the Japanese horror film.
Written by icon Wes Craven.
Followed by Pulse 2: Afterlife and Pulse 3: Invasion.
Horror movie connections: Kristen Bell (Scream 4) and Brad Dourif (Child’s Play movies, Urban Legend, The Exorcist 3, etc.)
Thoughts:
Pulse reminds me of all the other PG-13 horror movies released for teens over the last few years, but that actually kind of makes me smile. Yes it’s horrible and yes it’s cheesy, but sometimes that’s exactly what I need to get through the day. Pulse is one of those movies I slip in the DVD player and zone out for a little bit. I know it’s lame and no one else likes it, but it could be worse…it could be one of the sequels.
