What You Need To Know:
PULSE is pretty boring. The live people in this half-baked story are just as dead as the ghosts attacking them. The story implies a very strong pagan worldview where there is an afterlife, but no Heaven or Hell, or God. Included in that worldview is an occult device where the ghosts of dead people return to haunt, infect and destroy the living. This is all pretty depressing, especially when compared to the joy of eternal life that God grants to all those who believe on Jesus Christ.

More Detail:
PULSE is a low-budget horror movie about ghosts trying to take back the world by coming through broadband signals on computers, cell phones, PDAs, and wireless systems.
Mattie and Josh are college students having an affair at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Mattie hasn’t heard much lately, however, from her boyfriend, who’s being haunted by some kind of flickering, computer-image person who attacks him. Mattie goes over to Josh’s place to confront him. Josh suddenly appears and despondently walks to another room, where he hangs himself.
Mattie tries to move on, but starts getting text messages from Josh saying, “Help me.” One of her college friends goes to turn off Josh’s computer at his apartment, but the computer’s been sold. While there, he is also attacked.
Soon, the whole campus, the whole city and all of the United States are being invaded by the ghosts of dead people. A broadband experiment gone awry has enabled the ghosts physically somehow to attack the world of the living, killing millions along the way. Mattie and Dexter, the young computer expert who bought Josh’s computer, try to stop them.
PULSE is pretty boring. The live people in this half-baked story are just as dead as the ghosts attacking them. Also, the story implies a very strong pagan worldview where there is an afterlife, but no Heaven or Hell, or God. Included in that worldview is an occult device where the ghosts of dead people return to haunt, infect and destroy the living. This is all pretty depressing, especially when compared to the joy and glory of eternal life that God grants to all those who believe on Jesus Christ.
Today’s horror films have lost all sense of humanity, decency and especially joy. There’s no reason to go see them anymore whatsoever, if ever there ever was a reason.
