Set in Tokyo, this disturbing thriller follows three people facing a mystery that defies temporal explanation as a young man named Taguchi kills himself and later appears as a spectral computer image. Soon more of the city's denizens vanish in a similar fashion, with their ghostly souls turning up on the same Internet site. Can Taguchi's co-worker (Kumiko Aso), a college slacker (Haruhiko Kato) and a computer whiz (Koyuki) solve the conundrum?

"In the immense city of Tokyo, the darkness of the afterlife lurks some of its inhabitants who are desperately trying to escape the sadness and isolation of the modern world. The truest example of the word "chiller" this movie's mise en scène is coldness in every sense. Pulse is slow and quiet, depressing and hopeless. This movie will haunt you with it's dark, crushing atmosphere, and in another sense you'll feel haunted yourself."

"6.2 K. Kurosawa/Japani Hyi olkoon miten pelotti. Ensimmäiset puoli tuntia piti katsoa toinen silmä kiinni, toinen raollaan ja eteen ojennetun käden sormien lävitse. Seuraavat puolitoista tuntia elokuva on esoteerista taidehÜmppää."

"8.8. Blu-ray Teknologian kehittyminen pelottaa ja internet tekee ihmisistä yksinäisiä ja surullisia. Tai enemmänkin tuo totuuden esille yksilÜlle. Tämän oivalluksen jälkeen, oletkin jo aave. Halpaa digikuvaa muistuttava kylmä ja väritÜn filmi olisi perin rumaa jossain muussa kontekstissa, mutta tässä tukee teemoja sekä tarinaa. Montaa vuotta myÜhemmin ei olisi tarvinnut valmistua ollakseen lähinnä korni, mutta koska internetsyrjäytyminen ei ollut valmistumisen aikaan vielä ol"

"Empowered by the rise of the internet culture, spirits draw humans away from one another, entombing them in a realm of their own private obsessions. Does this even count as a metaphor anymore? Until the recent The Bling Ring, Pulse is the closest a film has come to fully capturing the paradoxical and deceptively empowering trap of online societies that allow you to indulge an illusion of socialization alone in the privacy of your own home.

"30.4, PC Pulse sisältää varmasti parhaimman näkemyksen kummituksista mitä olen elokuvissa nähnyt. Henget ovat tavallaan päämäärättÜmästi haahuilevia ja depressiota huokuvia ilmestyksiä. Niiden tumma ulkomuoto ja tiivis mutta rauhallinen kuvaustyyli luo hienoa painajaismaista tunnelmaa, joka valehtelematta kipristää vatsanpohjasta jonkunverran. Periaatteessa tälle voisi antaa jopa puolikkaan lisää, ellei katselua olisi tarvinnut jatkaa seuraavana päivänä päiväsaikaan, ja "
