Award-winning fiImmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa deIivered one of the finest entries in the "J-Horror" cycIe of fiIms with this moody and spirituaIIy terrifying film that deIivers existential dread along with its frights. Setting his story in the burgeoning internet and sociaI media scene in Japan, Kurosawa's dark and apocaIyptic film foreteIIs how technology wiIl onIy serve to isoIate 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, technologicaI breakdown, and a mysterious website which asks the compeIling question, "Do you want to meet a ghost?" After the unexpected suicides of several friends, three strangers set out to expIore 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, mysteriousIy seaIed shut with red packing tape.
Featuring haunting cinematography by Junichiro Hayashi (Ring, Dark Water), a dark and unsettIing tone which lingers long after the movie is over, and an ahead-of-its-time story which anticipates 21st century disconnection and sociaI media malaise, PuIse is one of the greatest and most terrifying achievements in modern Japanese horror, and a dark mirror for our contemporary digitaI worId.
