Onward with the horror movie marathon. This time I watch 2006's The Pulse. The best way to describe is movie is Ghost in the Machine meets Land of the Dead. A computer virus is let loose and actually sucks the life out of the person using the computer. The virus uses wired networks and any wireless or celullar networks as it's medium of transfer and after a while the host will be reduce to piles of black ash !
There is nothing revolutionary or ground breaking about the effects in this movie, but it's adequate and backs up the story rather well. Some of the effects look like they were borrowed from White Noise but in the end there were a couple of moments. The scene in the laundry room had me at the edge of my seat for a few minutes at least. So 5/10 for special effects here.
The cast is a young cast and the only one I could pick out is the heroin from Veronica Mars. The acting is passable ( I mean how much acting do you actually do in a horror flick aside from looking scared, crying and screaming anyway ? It's hard to tell with these kind of flicks ). There was a general feeling of been there done that with this movie as most of it are grounds already covered by other movies. So while I was yawning, I wasn't yawning that hard...
All in all this is nothing new but well done and not too cheesy so i give it 5/10.
