Whether viewed as a cautionary tale about man's over dependence on mechanical support (cell phones, computers, etc.) or as a cheesey remake of another Japanese horror film, PULSE fails to deliver anything that will make your pulse quicken.Filmed in murky blues and near whites at times, the movie drudges along with incoherency a main ingredient of the storyline as a lovely lass investigates why her boyfriend committed suicide. Kristen Bell and Ian Somerhalder try valiantly, but others such as Ron Rifkin and a brief cameo by resident nutcase Brad Dourif only serve to show how hard it is to make a good horror movie these days. Please, let the Japanese have their own horror films and leave us alone!
