You just got PULSATED!

Too bad that line isn't in the movie. Saw Pulse tonight due to continuous obsession with horror films. There are two reasons to see this movie:


and


Ian Somerhalder, first photo, is given a bit of a visual boost due to a red filter which means he has less of a "rosy" look. He also has a bit of stubble. Basically, he looks more like a man than usual.

Jonathon Tucker, second photo, is given a bit of a hit against the head due to his name. Isn't there a movie out right now called "John Tucker Must Die"? And didn't he die in Pulse in the first 10 minutes? Bummer.

Other than that, it's terrible. It's not scary enough and it has a stupid story: internet virus kills people (sound familiar? ahem FEARDOTCOM ahem), takes over the world wherever internet, cell phone reception, etc can reach. So the theme? Technology is bad. Also, red tape "keeps it out". Unfortunately, no one cared enough to make this mean anything. Stupid object, no meaning. Hopefully the Japanese version was better. Don't waste your money.

Update: Okay, I lied. I did get scared quite a few times. But not enough! And the story was so dumb that the scares weren't even worth it. I did scream, but it was because of the mix of boredom and terror, not just sheer terror.
