    • Trivia
      In the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), also starring Kristen Bell, during the dinner scene, a film very similar in plot to Pulse is talked about that Sarah was in. It is humorously referred to as a terrible film with a ridiculous premise.
    • Goofs
      (at around 13 min. into the film) Although the film is set in Ohio, Mattie is shown coming from an underground subway system. Columbus, Ohio does not have an underground subway system.
    • Quotes

      Douglas Zieglar: The last thing you want, the last thing you ever want is for them to get to you. 'Cause when they grab a hold, they will take your will to live. Everything that made you you is gone. You don't want to talk, you don't want to move. You're a shell.

    Not so horrible for a Saturday afternoon
    We went to see PULSE yesterday afternoon (got to the theater too late for DESCENT). I have not seen the original KAIRO for comparison. So, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen, and not the best. Yes, it was slow to start and get to the point. But IMO it had a creepy, dark atmosphere (god, if I lived there I'd want to commit suicide in any case), the visuals weren't bad, and it had a few good scares. Unfortunately, it also depended on VOLUME to enhance the scare. If you're more of a gore fan, then it's probably not the movie for you. The movie may not be worth the price of a ticket, but I think it's worth a rental. Eh, I'm just your average moviegoer and don't watch movies to analyze them to death. I even liked The Grudge. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
