Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Where the average Japanese horror flick is petulant and nasty, Pulse is dolorous, shivery, and surreal.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
It's an apocalyptic ghost story with some eerie images and a surprising turn toward the end, but it bogs down considerably between the good scenes.
– Walter V. Addiego,
San Francisco Chronicle,
16 Dec 2005
fresh:
It's not about blood, gore and oozing innards but unsettling creepiness that gets under a moviegoer's skin and makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.
– Bob Longino,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

rotten:
While it's rattling your nerves, Pulse leaves your brain wanting more.
– Jeff Shannon,

fresh:
It's best just to give yourself over to its dizzy dreaminess and abstract analysis of the persistent, beckoning throb of the digital underground.
