Product Description

Award-winning filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa delivered one of the finest entries in the "J-Horror" cycle of films with this moody and spiritually terrifying film that delivers existential dread along with its frights. Setting his story in the burgeoning internet and social media scene in Japan, Kurosawa's dark and apocalyptic film foretells how technology will only serve to isolate us as it grows more important to our lives.

A group of young people in Tokyo begin to experience strange phenomena involving missing co-workers and friends, technological breakdown, and a mysterious website which asks the compelling question, "Do you want to meet a ghost?" After the unexpected suicides of several friends, three strangers set out to explore a city which is growing more empty by the day, and to solve the mystery of what lies within a forbidden room in an abandoned construction site, mysteriously sealed shut with red packing tape.

Featuring haunting cinematography by Junichiro Hayashi (Ring, Dark Water), a dark and unsettling tone which lingers long after the movie is over, and an ahead-of-its-time story which anticipates 21st century disconnection and social media malaise, Pulse is one of the greatest and most terrifying achievements in modern Japanese horror, and a dark mirror for our contemporary digital world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulse arrow video
Reviewed in France on May 20, 2019
Facilement le film de j-horror ayant le scénario le plus effrayant. Et si c'était possible, si il n'y avait plus de place pour les âmes... Oui Pulse aka Kairo est une réussite aussi bien visuelle que scenaristique, une petite perle japonaise toujours inédite en bluray sur notre territoire. Pour l'édition arrow video a fait de la récupération de bonus, qui etait présente sur l'édition japonaise et ajouté un petit doc totalement inédit. L'image est plutôt propre, mais j'ai constaté un peu de grain sur quelques scènes de pénombre. Bref Pulse est un film d'épouvante qui change de l'ordinaire, grâce à un scénario totalement inédit pour l'époque, il n'est peut être pas supérieur à Ringu de nakata, mais largement au dessus des sagas comme ju-rei ou autres chakushin ari.
