Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think. What started out as a cute little ghost flick, ended up as something very post-apocalyptic.
Not that it worked against the film itself. I believe that it helped move everything along after it got very repetitive and slightly boring halfway through. But it still missed something.... more....

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Tons of scary images and scenes in this and it transcends its genre (it's not JUST about scary ghosts). It's a little heavy on the "technology is bad" subtext, which can get kinda silly when characters outright say things like "We have to get to a place where there's no wifi!" But, the ideas and images stay scary when characters aren't reminding you of the things that are literally happening.
The blue/gray color scheme that is mandatory in Japanese horror movies (and their remakes) got on my nerves and made things visually boring, but what can you do?
Oh, and the cast is pretty good, too.

“Laaaaaangweilig!!!”, war mehrere male während der Sneak im Kino zu vernehmen und genau das ist es, was dieser Film ist. Die Geschichte wird mit soviel Spannung erzählt, dass es spannender ist, einer Waschmaschine beim schleudern zuzuschauen und die überforderten Schauspieler haben soviel Charisma wie ein zu lange getoastet Stück Brot.
Selbst wenn der Produzent Wes Craven heißt, der sich bekanntlicher Weise für einige echte Klassiker des Horrorgenres verantwortlich zeigt, muss dabei kein Gruselmeisterwerk herumkommen. “Pulse – Du bist tot bevor du stirbst” ist daher ganz klar ein Fall der Marke überflüssig. Konnte zumindest die erste amerikanische Fassung von “The Ring” noch durch gelungene Schockeffekte und eine neue Form des Bösen überzeugen, war dies bereits in “The Grudge” nicht mehr so…

So much fail.

A decent remake which at first feels like a teen slasher film but takes a turn for the worse; the cinematography is incredibly dark and moody.

Pulse you can tell this is a Hollywood remake due to that fact the storyline is strange and weird and jgrudge style that's not the type that Hollywood could come up with, but weird freaky and enjoyable that makes me want to seek out the sequels
