Pulse (Kairo)

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!


If you enjoy reading my blog, please become a follower now! ---->>


This Japanese film follows two different stories simultaneously; Ryosuke Kawashima and Michi Kudo. Ryosuke is a college student student learning about the dangers of the internet, and Michi is a salesperson at Sunny Plant Sales who is trying to figure out why all her friends are mysteriously disappearing.

This film was written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa in 2001-later remade by Wes Craven in 2006. The story has a great lead in, but then begins to tapper off into confusion. The separation of the two stories isn't easily distinguished, and there is a lot of unanswered questions. The connection of what the forbidden room is to what is shown on the internet is confusing. However, the idea in general is very imaginative. The filming and editing of the ghosts was great, and very creepy. This film doesn't have jump in your seat scares, but it is very creepy. The acting was standard for a Japanese film.

I give this film a 6 out of 10 stars! It is a great idea, but I didn't get the story. There was a small connection with the characters. The ghost sequences were very creepy.
