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.

Japanese horror. When a young computer hacker is found dead, his friends explore his flat and discover strange marks on the wall and a mysterious floppy disk. Analysing the disk for clues, they inadvertently release a virus that broadcasts web feeds to several different PCs, even if those computers are not actually on. What the web feeds reveal is a strange, ghostly environment populated by shadowy figures - ghosts who inhabit the digital world, and who are slowly forcing their way through into our dimension, with devastating results.
