PULSE (2001)

Often referred to as one of the scariest films ever made, PULSE (Kairo) directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Tokyo Sonata), sees technology and supernatural terror intertwine in a chilling narrative.

With its innovative approach and unsettling atmosphere, PULSE explores the dark side of technology and the human psyche, making it a haunting and thought-provoking experience.

Prepare for a suspenseful journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries between reality and the unknown.

Set in a Tokyo grappling with a mysterious and eerie phenomenon, Pulse follows a group of friends and acquaintances as they encounter an unsettling presence emerging from their computers and other electronic devices. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister afoot? Soon, there are more strange deaths and disappearances within the group, terrifying rooms sealed in red tape, and the appearance of more ghosts as the city of Tokyo—and the world—is slowly drained of life.
