ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

TdSmth5 In the intro we meet some guy all dressed in red including using red dye in his eyes. He walks around town and runs into digital souls.Then we meet a woman surrounded by ash. She realizes her daughter is missing. She starts looking for her everywhere, but everyone acts weird, even a little girl who's supposed to be her daughter.Then we meet the husband/dad. He too is looking for the girl. When he finds her, he takes her to the woods were folks are trying to keep the disease away. The disease is something that turns your veins black and kills you and has affected the entire country. His mistress also ends up at the cabin. When he starts reading emails from the wife, the mistress catches the disease and infects some other guy.Meanwhile dad and daughters are on the run and meet red guy who forces him to take some piece of electronics that according to red guy will save the world.Mom shows up again to take the daughter but dad saves the girl. Eventually a bus shows up that take people to a refuge camp.I didn't see Pulse 1, but more or less knew what it was about based on the trailer. The premise is a good one. Dead people live in this digital limbo, they are alone and hang around the world eating people's souls. What they get from it though isn't explained. Pulse 2 could have done a lot with that idea. But instead because of a small budget I presume, focuses on this one completely uninteresting family. There is no reason for the audience to care about any of them. At first it deceives us by focusing on the mom, who turns out to be one of these digital zombies interacting with a bunch of mental zombies. Unfortunately when our main characters are the living, things are still lame. The pace and tone of this movie are super dull. I fell asleep near the end. Even terror scenes are filmed in such a boring way. But that's the problem when you have a short script and have to make a 1:30 long movie out of it. Another problem with having no budget is that they chose to film the entire movie in front of a green screen. An interesting choice during the scenes where the digital zombie is the center of the action. But for the rest of the movie not so much. A shame that this movie isn't better. The basic idea really lends itself for some good movies.

16602 Sisler The movie starts out leaving the audience confused and wondering what is happening. The video looks out of place and doesn't pull you into the movie like the first one did. Georgina Rylance's acting in this film was purely unimaginative and lacking enthusiasm. The visual and special effects are greatly disappointing. The scenery is almost as bad as the script writing and talent recruiting for this film. This film is worthy of only a 1/2 star in my opinion. The movie had scenes that seemed to just drag out to make the movie seem longer than it actually is. I wish I could go get my money back and have this erased from my memory. If you thought the first movie was good then stay away from this film!

p-stepien Not long after the going ons in "Pulse" the city is in chaos. Leftover survivor try to find safety. Among them Stephen (Jamie Bamber) and his 10-year-old daughter Justine (Karley Scott Collins). Unfortunately for them the child's mother Michelle (Georgina Rylance) has succumbed to the contagion and is now intent on regaining her child from beyond the grave...Really don't feel like writing too much about this waste of time. Even though the original was hardly a commendable film this straight-to-DVD movie was somehow filmed (almost entirely on a very poorly done blue screen). The plot is tedious and the direction really wallows too much into random scenes and situations. The special effects are several notches below those in the original and the acting is mostly laughably pathetic. The only saving grace is the fact, that the two main characters - Stephen and Justine - actually do a decent job, even though the script and director throws multiple hurdles in the form of stupid and pretentious dialogue. On a plus side there are a couple of really interesting horror ideas wasted in this movie (fatso sex scene, Michelle self-mutilation or the whole idea behind Michelle not being aware she is dead) and for fans of gore there is one very disgusting cat scene. Unfortunately even those plus sides are pulled down in the undertow of bad scripting, directing and an overdose of blue screen.

Rabh17 When I rated "Pulse I", I had two bad impressions:1-- Characters I did not care about.2-- Failure to breathe the expectation of terror into the premise of the Dead coming back through our communications Technology.Pulse II made a good try. The Characters, this time around, were people the audience was supposed to connect with-- unlike the first movie which focused on a couple of vapid cardboard college students.This time, it's a family that is caught up in the on-going emergency created by the undead communications plague. A little girl, her mother and father have been separated-- both by the plague and by marital strife.Problem: the movie begins moving with these long camera shots of a woman crying and whinging through the remains of her shattered life and wondering where her little girl is. Now-- for a guy looking at a horror movie-- we're waiting for the whinging to be ended by something bloody and scarifying. Instead, she goes on and on and on until it becomes just annoying to watch and hear. What's her problem? Is she a Moron? Hello, Lady-- we know about the female penchant to be dazed and Confused and Whiney at the End of the World-- but JEEZ!! THEN we get the picture! OHH. SHE'S DEAD!That's alright then-- but the movie should have clued us in that TWENTY MINUTES AGO!!!!!Okay-- mystery cleared up. But the movie fails to pick up the pace. Enter the Father and the equally clueless brat-- Excuse me-- adorable daughter. In fact, Daddy is clueless as his dead wife. I mean, in the middle of a catastrophe caused by the Dead invading the world through Cellphone and the Internet-- you figure a GUY would know that poking at an email program with your crazy dead wife on the other side is like--SUICIDE?!?!? Well DOH! Even the tramp girlfriend knew better!!The failing here, again, was the the inability to create a sense of terror in the notion that the dead are lurking behind every electronic On/Off switch. The sight of a blinking light on a Laptop should instill dread and expectation. Instead-- it's turned on because Idiot Dad humps tramp girlfriend and bumps the table. And Now, it's connecting to the WIFI signal. The viewer just rolls his eyes. Ooooooh Scary! Pop a finger out your mouth, whirl it in the air and make the appropriate expletive we all know. Besides, even when we're in the City, we WISH we could get a WIFI signal that fast!! SO we KNOW it's unreal fantasy!!A Half score. A near failure only because the first one was a pure failure. Jamie Bamber was wasted here-- unless the director thought that this movie would click with the Chick-Horror-Flick crowd. Again, in the end, we just don't care. Pulse III was on the shelf at Blockbuster when I picked this one up-- it will stay there. I won't even bother if I see it for download. Such a waste of a great scary idea!! WASTED!
