Critic Reviews

American director Jim Sonzero has taken the same campus setting and plot and added some rationale by "science-fictioning" it.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

If Pulse is unsurprising as a horror movie (come on: chalky, soul-sucking freaks again?), as a campaign against the Internet, digital piracy, cellphones, and anything that computes anything (like laptops or brains), it's a riot.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

Ultimately, the glacial pace kills Pulse. What was dreadful and trance-like in the original feels here like nothing-much-at-all sandwiched between some stock horror jolts.Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

In this American remake of the spooky, more-atmospheric-than-coherent 2005 J-horror thriller, the ghosts blink and crackle into existence with an electromagnetic sputter, but really, they're not so different from the gauzy, see-through spirits of yesteryear.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

A horror film dealing with the terrors lurking via our computers, cell phones and other electronic devices, Pulse isn't nearly as scary as watching your hard drive crash or having your BlackBerry conk out in the middle of a vital call.Full Review
