Details

The world has been reshaped by the invasion of ghosts via the wireless internet. Cities are deserted, technology has been destroyed and the few remaining human beings eschew anything electrical in order to avoid a confrontation with the soulless ghosts that now wander the planet. Most of the ghosts are doomed to a repetitive loop of something they did while they were still despairing humans (a man repeatedly hangs himself, for example), but there are some ghosts so locked in denial, they do not know they are dead. They continue to haunt their homes, wrapped in fear that their souls will soon be torn from them.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Klovemovies Well here is the sequel to the remake of the korean movie Kairo. As if the first one was bad enough dimension went on to make two more pulse films DTV. Lets first look at the positives the story sounds good and promising it takes off where the first one left off (except with nobody from the first one) the dead have found a way back to our world- through cell phones and WiFi- and the human survivors have take to remote ares to escape, when a young girl ends up missing, both her mom and dad cross the infected city in search of her. It also has a great start with the red man (this guy wearing all red to keep the ghosts from getting him)walking out of his apartment through an ally to the street you see some of the few ghosts and near dead people that this movie has to offer, then its gets slowwwwwwwwwwwwww........ yeah very slow and one of the most irritating things about this movie other than the acting, and lack of common sense the characters have the CGI o my goodness were they really serious like this looks just fine? I continue to ask myself in disbelief cause of how much this makes my head hurt is how did they even this this would be OK i'd say about 80+% percent of the screen time is green screened, i mean even the backyard scene was cgi the trees all of the area and walking through the house all fake and its so obvious. There is nudity if it matters to you I mean the chick is OK she has a nice body but its got the black stuff anyways so it gets gross very quickly. Thats about it cause this movie is just plain boring it has a lot going for it but falls flat on its face terrible terrible movie i don't recommend it even if you liked the first one this movie is terrible. And as far as the third one goes i have not seen it yet i probably will just because i am the type of guy to finish what he starts. And i bet there will be a 4th and 5th this series isn't over yet
Rabh17 When I rated "Pulse I", I had two bad impressions:1-- Characters I did not care about.2-- Failure to breathe the expectation of terror into the premise of the Dead coming back through our communications Technology.Pulse II made a good try. The Characters, this time around, were people the audience was supposed to connect with-- unlike the first movie which focused on a couple of vapid cardboard college students.This time, it's a family that is caught up in the on-going emergency created by the undead communications plague. A little girl, her mother and father have been separated-- both by the plague and by marital strife.Problem: the movie begins moving with these long camera shots of a woman crying and whinging through the remains of her shattered life and wondering where her little girl is. Now-- for a guy looking at a horror movie-- we're waiting for the whinging to be ended by something bloody and scarifying. Instead, she goes on and on and on until it becomes just annoying to watch and hear. What's her problem? Is she a Moron? Hello, Lady-- we know about the female penchant to be dazed and Confused and Whiney at the End of the World-- but JEEZ!! THEN we get the picture! OHH. SHE'S DEAD!That's alright then-- but the movie should have clued us in that TWENTY MINUTES AGO!!!!!Okay-- mystery cleared up. But the movie fails to pick up the pace. Enter the Father and the equally clueless brat-- Excuse me-- adorable daughter. In fact, Daddy is clueless as his dead wife. I mean, in the middle of a catastrophe caused by the Dead invading the world through Cellphone and the Internet-- you figure a GUY would know that poking at an email program with your crazy dead wife on the other side is like--SUICIDE?!?!? Well DOH! Even the tramp girlfriend knew better!!The failing here, again, was the the inability to create a sense of terror in the notion that the dead are lurking behind every electronic On/Off switch. The sight of a blinking light on a Laptop should instill dread and expectation. Instead-- it's turned on because Idiot Dad humps tramp girlfriend and bumps the table. And Now, it's connecting to the WIFI signal. The viewer just rolls his eyes. Ooooooh Scary! Pop a finger out your mouth, whirl it in the air and make the appropriate expletive we all know. Besides, even when we're in the City, we WISH we could get a WIFI signal that fast!! SO we KNOW it's unreal fantasy!!A Half score. A near failure only because the first one was a pure failure. Jamie Bamber was wasted here-- unless the director thought that this movie would click with the Chick-Horror-Flick crowd. Again, in the end, we just don't care. Pulse III was on the shelf at Blockbuster when I picked this one up-- it will stay there. I won't even bother if I see it for download. Such a waste of a great scary idea!! WASTED!
bigdawgsheet Even though I liked the film, I can see why Pulse 2 got slammed by a lot of horror reviewers. OK, it's more of a drama than a horror film. And the ghosts aren't all that scary. But there's more going on here than just your average ghoul chase. You have real people with real flaws and yearnings that go beyond life and death. There's a reason why you feel an odd disconnect with this film -- largely due to the unorthodox use of green screen -- but the technique succeeds for that very reason. You feel out of place, just like the dead and dying. Admittedly, the green screen style works less well when dealing with "normal" situations and settings like the cabin retreat. Then it comes off as mildly irritating. And another complaint is that the guy in the red suit is a character that doesn't pay off, at least not, I guess, until the next sequel. But all in all, I found this film most rewarding in ways horror films are not meant to be. Which means you can like it or hate it for the very same reasons. I'll stick it in the plus column. Watch it without expectations.
Mak_Khalil Well , Its just a waste of time , There is nothing there to watch , in addition to that , the cast make it worse ! Jamie Bamber acting like hes just learned how to act yesterday.Everything makes no sense in the movie , Its a ghost revenge but even the ghosts there are really stupid , don't expect horror, its comedy !!!The plot is sick , the acting is sick , even the shooting is stupid.For long time I didn't see that assembled shots, a man standing in a farm with visual effects that makes you believe he is still in the studio!
