Pulse (2001)
Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
4.4/5INSTINCT "MINDY"119 minQuick Hit
Pulse hits like a head-trip horror piece—lonely, ambient, and leaves a bad taste on purpose.
Full Take
Pulse leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa keeps the tone lonely without letting the movie drift. This one understands that tension beats noise, so it keeps tightening the screws until you're stuck in it. Not flawless, but the swing is worth it.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.
wtf 😳
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
