Title: Almost flatlined
Product review: Pulse is yet another remake of a Japanese horror film, but this one boasts that it has a screenplay by horror master Wes Craven. Whether or not that's true, Pulse doesn't offer much that we haven't seen before in the tons of drivel, PG-13 horror remakes before it. The ungodly good looking young cast, including Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell, Lost's Ian Somerhalder, Jonathan Tucker, and Christina Millian; are pretty much nothing worth noting either, but is that really a surprise. That aside, there are some wonderfully creepy moments to behold thanks to some great CGI effects, and the film's apocalyptic ending is a nice shot in the arm to boot. Those good points aside, the rest of Pulse is horror fodder, even with some re-edited moments to remove the PG-13 rating. Worth a look if for some reason you like the films to come out of the wave of Japanese PG-13 remakes, but otherwise there is plenty of other horror films that are far better and far more deserve your time.
