i be so excited to finally watch pulse after receive it from amazon and and i have to say i be utterly disappointed . i perhaps think i be too hype up . i have expectation set by it fan that simply couldn not be meet . after love other asian horror and i think i know this would find a place in my heart . the story be slow and painfully so . i be a diverse fan of horror . i love the brutal and bloody craziness of the devil reject and i love equally the steady and grow macabre of a tale of two sister . pulse offer little from either spectrum and sadly . along with the sluggishness of the plot and it be also very muddled . i hadn not a clue why character be do what they be do and how what they be do would help their problem . it seem a if the director spout off the plot in a sentence or two and the rest be improf from our actor . unlike a tale of two sister and which also have a rather hard to follow plot line and pulse clear up very little at the end and leave me feel frustrate and confuse and uninterested in the character endeavor . my closing statement about the plot be it inconsistency . at first it seem a if the story be about the ghost world overflow and their medium of escaping be the internet . that a damn original idea . i like that . but a the plot drone on and plot hole and unexplained happening rear their head in and it seem the director switch to some apocalyptic tale ( a evident by the end ) that just hasn not be clear enough throughout to execute . i realize the dreariness of the shot and the setting be intentional to make the viewer feel bleak and isolated and but the dullness of the movie be only intensify by the grainy and shadowy surroundings . i will admit there be a certain feel of surrealism with the movie and but that may have just be my attention waning in and out . the action of some of the character be a little bit ridiculous a well and and perhaps if i be more enthralled by the story i would have be able to suspend more disbelief but as well myself be unmotivated so too be some of the character . like i mention previously and the logic behind what certain character do be absent and contribute to the incoherence of the plot . perhaps it be a result of the plot incoherence that the character do questionable thing . to be honest i do not really care . the acting be decent . certainly nothing outstanding but nothing terrible either . no outlier to mention on either side of brilliant or plain awful . now i will stop sound so sour and mention that there be a handful of creepy moment . one towards the end especially that if there be more like it throughout and i would have enjoy this movie ( almost ) wholly . i think whenever the website be show it be pretty unsettling and as well a some of the ghostly encounter our two main character face . the thing that go on between these ghastly run in be just too lackluster and baffling and wtf for me to truly appreciate . now for something pertaining to the dvd itself . magnolia release of pulse come with subtitle and yes and but the subtitle be off . they aren not say at the correct time of the character speech . it may sound nit picking but it bother me a little and it may bother some others . i think this be the only north american release of the film though so you either have to deal or watch dubbing ( never watch dub . ) i try to like the film and i really do . i want this film to live up to the hype . but sadly and it fell flat for me . if youre look for other creepy asian cinema i can recommend you audition and shutter and a tale of two sister and strange circus and marebito all of which be more my palette .
