Pulse Movie Trailer

 Dex and Mattie find the server and upload Josh's fix, causing the system to crash and the spirits to vanish. Moments later, however, the system reboots and the spirits return leaving Mattie and Dex with no option but to flee the city by car. Over the car radio, Mattie and Dex hear a radio report from the Army announcing the location of several "safe zones" where there are no Internet connections, cell phones, or televisions. As Dex and Mattie drive to a safe zone, the film concludes with a voice-over from Mattie saying "We can never go back. The cities are theirs. Our lives are different now. What was meant to connect us to one another instead connected us to forces that we could have never imagined. The world we knew is gone, but the will to live never dies. Not for us, and not for them," and clips of abandoned cities, including a window of an apartment with Josh looking through it.

Pulse Movie Review

A minor cult favourite Stateside but virtually unknown here, Kiyoshi Kurosawa (no relation) is prolific but erratic, his efforts at endowing genre fare with metaphor and metaphysical speculation often making for incoherence. Here, in a notably depopulated Japanese city, a florist’s assistant is worried when one of her colleagues kills himself and another disappears; meanwhile, a technophobe student befriends a computer expert after receiving spooky images from a website. Cue creepy suspense, often tricky to follow but clearly reflecting concerns about ghosts in the machine, viral infection and different levels of reality; presumably the frequently bizarre behaviour of the young folk is deliberate, underlining an idea of death as literally another form of life. There are nicely uncanny moments – Kurosawa’s use of space and shadow is especially effective – but finally the ruminations on our fundamental solitude (why live? why die?) is the stuff of adolescent angst. Apocalyptic pretensions aside, it remains a tale of youngsters needlessly entering darkened rooms, being trapped by tight framing and menaced by a wailing soundtrackPulse Movie Review

Pulse Movie Wiki

Mattie and her friends begin to receive online messages from Josh asking for help but assume that Josh's computer is still on and that a virus is creating the messages. Mattie learns that Josh's computer has been sold to Dex McCarthy, who finds a number of strange videos on the computer. Mattie receives a package that Josh mailed two days prior to his death. Inside are rolls of red tape and a message telling her that the tape keeps "them" out, although he does not know why. Later, Dex visits Mattie and shows her video messages Josh was sending to Ziegler. Josh had hacked Ziegler's computer system and then distributed a virus. This virus had unlocked a portal that connected the realm of the living to the realm of the dead. Josh believed he had coded a counter to the virus and wanted to meet Ziegler at the library. Josh's counter-program is found on a memory stick taped inside the PC case with red tape.
Dex and Mattie visit Zeigler and find his room entirely plastered in red tape. They believe the red tape keeps the spirits out. Zeigler tells them of a project he worked on where he found "frequencies no one knew existed." Opening these frequencies somehow allowed the spirits to travel to the world of the living. Zeigler also tells them that these spirits "take away your will to live" and where to find the main server infected with the virus.
