Over at Man, I Love Films, I covered Pulse today. Why Pulse? Why Now? Simple: Wes Craven was heavily involved in the creation of the English language remake, and his passing on Sunday night reminded me that I never actually wrote anything about Pulse.
Pulse is a techno-horror crossed with a chain letter horror, both mainstays of modern Japanese horror. The difference is that Pulse is focused on the metaphor, not the scares, and certainly not the plot.
