Pulse (DVD, 2006, Unrated Widescreen Edition)

"Pulse" (UNRATED VERSION) is another outstanding remake of a Japanese Horror Film following in the birth-rights of other smash-hits like "The Ring" and "The Grudge 1 & 2". My God!!!! The Japanese Horror Films are astounding. This is nothing short of another masterpiece of Horror that will shock you into screams in your own home, like "The Ring" and "The Grudge". Brought to the USA market in vision by master-horror filmaker Wes Craven himself. -- When a depressed young college student begins a very disturbing transformation, his depression leads him into suicide.... and he hangs himself. Clearly his friends are distraught, and when his final funeral is over, suddenly they all begin to receive email messages from their former friend in his death. He is sending them warnings that the "Dead" are everywhere, not just passed away and gone.....and they want their world (ours) back. What ensues is the most diabolically wicked portrayal of a World Apocolypse where the Dead are, in fact, intermingling with the living, and we never recognized them. Major tragic accidents ensue, planes crash, and much more.... NewsReports begin of a "plague" that has beseiged cities. The plague is the dead....and they are ending life for the living as we know it. -- This movie is absolutely NOT tongue-and-cheek. It has special-effects that are absolutely mind-numbing, and the film has absolute perfection in cinematography as it lacks significant colors, (like "An American Haunting" & "See No Evil" - SEE MY REVIEWS), making every scene dark, grey and disturbingly uncomfortable and tension-taut. The actors, mostly up-and-comers (sell this even better than people we would already know, making it feel like it could be any of us). They really sell the fear and paranoia that enraptures this film. -- Standing Ovations to the Japanese originators for once again providing Hollywood with an unbelievable venue to horrify us beyond recognition. Clearly these Japanese horror films have had the advantage for a while and we are fortunate they are being remade for the USA now. Don't miss this unfathomable battle to end the world!!!! It is astounding !!!!
