Who saw the movie pulse? did you think it was dumb?

Question

i did.

Answer 1

I saw the original Japanese movie by the name of Kairo. Bleak and creepy in places. It is the movie that is father to The Ring and The Grudge in theme, mood, creepiness and visuals. I liked the original. From what I hear the remake of Kairo has no bite or bark and loses most of the essence that made the original delicious.

The world that writer/director Kurosawa and cinematographer Junichiro Hayashi presents us is quite remarkable. It’s the world we know, but one completely different. There is a hopeless look and feel to the film from the very beginning -- and continues until the bitter end -- that is fascinating, not to mention achieving its purpose of drawing us in. The universe of Kairo seems forever cast in shadows, regardless if it’s night or day, and despite the presence of technology, the people are always alone, even when they’re among friends. The movie posits the question: Are we really still “connected” to our fellow human beings anymore? The film’s answer: of course not, that with the coming of technology we’re actually more isolated.

This film explores the core of modern day isolation, loneliness and emotional desolation in a way I have never seen in a movie...horror or otherwise..

I am truly sorry you saw the remake first.

Answer 2

I've watch Kairo twice. And it draws you into like a well directed episode of Rod Serling's twilight Zone. I hear the American remake is lame. Even the film critic for Sci FI magazine called it lame.

Answer 4
