F
"Riddled with obtuse plotting and a noticeable lack of continuity, Pulse steams forward with such unabashed inanity, you really have to give your brain a rest to even make it to the end."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"The film frames its horror as if the ghosts are so many Pinocchios, yearning for what seems inherently valuable to humans."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"...the requisite happy ending smacks of studio interference..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C
"It was hard to find the pulse in this tame remake."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"Fails to find the relevancy it desires and the momentum it needs, all the while unleashing a series of hoary teen thriller clichés and cheap throwaway jump scares."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D
"As usual, this cheaply made PG-13 horror flick is all atmosphere and no horror."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"Ideally a horror movie will make your heart race, but as it turns out, Pulse barely has one."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/4
"Sitting through this movie is a joyless chore. Pulse doesn't have one."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"To add to the insult there isn't even some nudity . ."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

1.0/4.0
"Neat idea; horrible execution. No wonder the studio couldn't (decide) where to unload this turkey."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

1.5/4
"Pulse is a lesson in Horror Filmmaking 101 - a generic, uninspired slog through just about every single genre cliché ever committed to celluloid."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

2.5/4
"This domestic redo of Kurosawa's ghost story is a reasonably sinister scary movie that faithfully taps into its predecessor's existential dread and distrust of technology."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Aparentemente, não há aparelho moderno que seja imune à invasão de fantasmas dispostos a utilizá-lo a fim de se espalharem pelo mundo."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

1/4
