Pulse (Kairo)

Horror Japanese teens investigate a series of suicides linked to an internet webcam that promises visitors the chance to interact with the dead.
Media Author Review
United States
Boston Globe
"Where the average Japanese horror flick is petulant and nasty, Pulse is dolorous, shivery, and surreal."
United States
SFGATE
"An apocalyptic ghost story with some eerie images and a surprising turn toward the end, but it bogs down considerably between the good scenes." 
United States
Detroit News
"By the end of 'Pulse' the world seemed a whole lot creepier place. I'm pretty sure that means it worked."
United States
The Washington Post
"You may go home and throw out your computer and lock the doors." 
United States
Entertainment Weekly
"Did I mention that nothing in the two snail-paced hours of Pulse makes close to a shred of sense?"
United States
New York Daily News
"Even though Kiyoshi Kurosawa's influential Japanese horror film captured a particular mood when he made it in 2000, its late arrival here is likely to elicit jaded yawns."
United States
Rolling Stone
"'Pulse' possesses the dark art to make your pulse pound and your hair stand on end -- with no cheating."
United States
New York Post
"You'll never think of your computer in the same way."
United States
Village Voice
"At least half an hour too long at 119 minutes, the movie allows almost everything to happen at least twice."
