Pulse, directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, turns the internet into a gateway for restless spirits, crafting a slow-burning horror about isolation and existential emptiness. Through two loosely connected storylines, the film builds quiet dread as characters confront disappearances and a spreading sense of emotional void, though uneven transitions and occasional narrative gaps weaken its flow. More than a ghost story, it stands as a melancholic reflection on loneliness in the digital age, lingering through mood rather than clear answers.
