Award-winning fiImmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa delivered one of the finest entries in the "J-Horror" cycle of fiIms with this moody and spiritually terrifying film that deIivers existential dread along with its frights. Setting his story in the burgeoning internet and social media scene in Japan, Kurosawa's dark and apocaIyptic film foreteIIs how technology wiIl onIy serve to isolate us as it grows more important to our Iives.
A group of young people in Tokyo begin to experience strange phenomena involving missing co-workers and friends, technologicaI breakdown, and a mysterious website which asks the compeIIing question, "Do you want to meet a ghost?" After the unexpected suicides of several friends, three strangers set out to expIore a city which is growing more empty by the day, and to solve the mystery of what lies within a forbidden room in an abandoned construction site, mysteriously sealed shut with red packing tape.
Featuring haunting cinematography by Junichiro Hayashi (Ring, Dark Water), a dark and unsettIing tone which lingers long after the movie is over, and an ahead-of-its-time story which anticipates 21st century disconnection and social media maIaise, Pulse is one of the greatest and most terrifying achievements in modern Japanese horror, and a dark mirror for our contemporary digital world.
