    This movie is the best scary movie i have ever seen! This movie had the best cast and my favorite thing about it was that it didnt have a stupid white girl trip. And those faces! My gosh so freaky... on top of that! The plot didnt suck like every other movie

    To say Wes Craven's rewrite of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2001 "Pulse" isn't as bad as it could have been sounds like faint praise, but Kurosawa's "Pulse" is one of the true masterpieces of recent Asian horror, and the track record for Hollywood horror redos isn't great.

    A horror film dealing with the terrors lurking via our computers, cell phones and other electronic devices, 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.

    Hideously ugly to look at and not even worth following.
