Pulse 2

OK...everybody who writes scripts can have bad days...bad ideas, lack of creativity, a blockage of something to make the story good or better.

This is a travesty.

Who thinks of a movie like this, then actually films it and then believes that a 3rd of the series should be made? This is not Back To The Future and in no ways should there have been a second or a third portion of this movie made.

While the music and camera work was alright, the story was a ruin.

It's stupid, it's pointless, it's boring. I need not write much more.

The third portion of this movie is even worse...how can that be? How can a film with a 25 million dollar budget as this is to have had - be this bad? I love movies - I can watch them almost 24 hours a day...but then there comes a time when after watching 3 or 4 movies in a row that are just horrible as a finished product, they become quite sickening to watch.

Not because they are scary, but because they are just crap - like this is and like the one following it is.

There's art, there's entertainment and there's just garbage - and this entire series falls into the garbage pile.

What could have been a really cool concept is stretched out into a 3 part series of nothing.

This is the review and it's more entertaining than the movie.

Yes, this is a retarded movie - and to watch it makes you one.

i was thoroughly disgusted, and disappointed with this one,, how could they say that this picked up where the first one left off. i seen like one cell phone. 2 computers,, and a cell tower,, wow o boy no TV sets no radios. this one made absolutely no sense whatsoever. they can't pick up on red what's up with that,, at least explain why the dead can't transmit through the color red. one thing i did like was the character Marna very appealing to the eye,, but other than that, i mean OK the storyline with the little girl mother and dad divorce stuff, it was okay at best . i don't know if it's just this film,, but there seems to be an awful trend going on over the past few years,, this straight to DVD sequel stuff, enough already,, and they made pulse 3 shortly thereafter,, doesn't that give you a clue if they put out 2 movies in such a short timespan,, stay away from pulse 2 it's just wretched.

PULSE 2: AFTERLIFE is a sequel to the remake of a Japanese ghost film. The Japanese film was great, a fine little slow burner, which is why I'm subjecting myself to these American versions of the tale. I wonder why I bother when the film is of the quality of PULSE 2, which is as awful an attempt at a horror movie as you're likely to get.

The story is about characters who find themselves pursued by the dead who can now appear thanks to wireless communication devices. What this boils down to is a never-ending storyline of a father and his daughter who find themselves pursued by the spirit of the girl's dead mother. The CGI ghost effects are awful, like something out of THE RING remake where the ghost girl comes out of the TV, but even worse are the endless CGI background to almost every scene.

Why shoot the whole film on a green screen, 300-style? It makes everything look fake and unrealistic, and to compound this the acting is poor and the characters one-dimensional. Scares? Try elsewhere, you won't find any here.

I am a huge fan of horror films and I loved the first one, but this was perhaps the most disappointing and distracting film I have ever seen. At no point was this film cogent, constantly hopping from theme to theme and direction to direction. None of the characters ever acted like people facing the end of the world instead staggering through what I can only describe as a directionless ambling incoherent miasma. I wish I could say anything was redeemable but I can't, at no level did it even manage to entertain.

If you liked the first film this one will do nothing but upset you as they fail to match the emotional tone or thematic value of the first film. They also consistently violate the rules set forth by the first film as well as their own rules they make up in this one making me wonder if there was anyone at any time paying attention to the consistency of the film.

As a fan of good horror I have to rate this as unseeable.

Well , Its just a waste of time , There is nothing there to watch , in addition to that , the cast make it worse ! Jamie Bamber acting like hes just learned how to act yesterday.

Everything makes no sense in the movie , Its a ghost revenge but even the ghosts there are really stupid , don't expect horror, its comedy !!!

The plot is sick , the acting is sick , even the shooting is stupid.

For long time I didn't see that assembled shots, a man standing in a farm with visual effects that makes you believe he is still in the studio!
