Citações:

[last lines]
Mattie Webber: We can never go back. The cities are theirs. Our lives are different now. The things that were supposed to connect us to each other, instead connected us to forces we could never have imagined. The world we know is gone, but the will to live never dies. Not for us... and not for them.

Ghosts in the Wi-Fi

Despite the advertisements, the American remake of the Japanese horror film "Pulse" has very little to do with the original.

I saw the Japanese original on DVD last month and I liked it. It gave me nightmares, but I didn't think it would go over well with American audiences because it was slow and creepy, but not very scary.

Apparently American horror-meister, Wes Craven, felt the same way and he rewrote the script to include much more scary ghosts in the same vein as his "Nightmare on Elm Street" series or "Poltergeist." The result is less artistic than the original "Pulse," but it is more likely to appeal to what Americans expect from a horror film.

Unlike "The Descent," which I saw last week, this film does not rely on the gimmick of quick cuts of monsters jumping out at the screen. "Pulse" is filmed with a lot of style and has plenty of scary ghosts.

"Pulse" would have been even better if it had more subtle editing, a more discreet soundtrack, better actors, and better dialog; but most horror fans will not care about that.

If you like a good, old fashioned, scary, ghost film; you will probably like "Pulse."
