I'm mad at Maxine.
This was Max's idea to show this and i hadnt seen it in a long time.
and watching it last night, I REMEMBER WHY.
it is FUCKING CREEPY. Its an overlooked J-horror gem from 2001, about a group of people starting to suspect that the spirit world is overcrowded and ghosts are starting to infiltrate the human world via the internet.
theyre correct, of course.
but the brilliance in "Pulse" is pretty much why i love "IT FOLLOWS" as much as i do. A terrific use of camera, lighting, shadows, and pacing.............. its BEAUTIFUL. The movie also glorifies suicide however so those who get depressed easily or have a hard time dealing with death and afterlife ideals stay the fuck away. This is not for you.
"Pulse" single-handedly not only makes you afraid of ghosts but of death itself.... and its that finality, the reality that we all truly die someday, that pumps this film up into a mega-hit. I sometimes find it terrifying to just one day not exist anymore...and what keeps me from going crazy is embracing life and not worrying about death. And folks, i'll be honest, you are NOT going to like the ending. Instead of leaving any kind of hope, any shred of peace or promise.... "Pulse" goes right to the jugular, bites down hard and doesnt stop til youre drained dry.
it is a VERY scary, bone-jarring, emotional power ride. I cant believe it didnt get more attention when it was out, but I guess a lot of films lost their edges after 9/11 happened... and since Pulse was released in January of that fateful year, well maybe they saw something coming..........................
"Pulse" is rated R for some random acts of violence but overall, probably safe for teens..... oh who am i kidding, keep teens AWAY from this....
lets not give them ideas! =P

Did you not read it? =P
I only recently saw it, and posted it up as a suggestion only.
For my next suggestion, "TAG". Another wild Japanese horror flick.
Give it a look and see. I take no responsibility for soiled undies and such. :P
Me (half way through): Zzzzzzzzzz.....
(Full disclosure, I was tired from work, but truly this movie didn't do much for me.)
