Pulse is an ugly mess that makes little to no sense. I am sure I thought it looked quite cool in the naive 00s, but it's hypercontrasted-desaturated-blue/green-hued look has aged like milk in the sun.

The potential it has to be an adult thriller is ruined because it's just more teen marketed crap.

The unanswered questions in the original added to the mood, but by trying to answer even just a few of them, this Pulse just gets more confusing and less scary.

It helps that the hot blonde is Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars") who can basically do anything (she even sings - see "Reefer Madness") and remain effortlessly adorable and charming.

A blatant example of studio tinkering and tampering, focus groups gone awry, pandering to the PG-13 crowd, and all the other things that can ruin a film.

Decent horror remake with a strong cast, atmospheric direction and some genuinely scary scenes - you'll never log on to your computer again. Probably.

Don't get me wrong. This isn't a BAD film, just not particularly good.

A curiously dull Americanization of one of the finest examples of subtle, moody J-horror out there.

A handful of creepy visuals can't make up for a mountain of shortcomings.
