It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

In the intro we meet some guy all dressed in red including using red dye in his eyes. He walks around town and runs into digital souls.Then we meet a woman surrounded by ash. She realizes her daughter is missing. She starts looking for her everywhere, but everyone acts weird, even a little girl who's supposed to be her daughter.Then we meet the husband/dad. He too is looking for the girl. When he finds her, he takes her to the woods were folks are trying to keep the disease away. The disease is something that turns your veins black and kills you and has affected the entire country. His mistress also ends up at the cabin. When he starts reading emails from the wife, the mistress catches the disease and infects some other guy.Meanwhile dad and daughters are on the run and meet red guy who forces him to take some piece of electronics that according to red guy will save the world.Mom shows up again to take the daughter but dad saves the girl. Eventually a bus shows up that take people to a refuge camp.I didn't see Pulse 1, but more or less knew what it was about based on the trailer. The premise is a good one. Dead people live in this digital limbo, they are alone and hang around the world eating people's souls. What they get from it though isn't explained. Pulse 2 could have done a lot with that idea. But instead because of a small budget I presume, focuses on this one completely uninteresting family. There is no reason for the audience to care about any of them. At first it deceives us by focusing on the mom, who turns out to be one of these digital zombies interacting with a bunch of mental zombies. Unfortunately when our main characters are the living, things are still lame. The pace and tone of this movie are super dull. I fell asleep near the end. Even terror scenes are filmed in such a boring way. But that's the problem when you have a short script and have to make a 1:30 long movie out of it. Another problem with having no budget is that they chose to film the entire movie in front of a green screen. An interesting choice during the scenes where the digital zombie is the center of the action. But for the rest of the movie not so much. A shame that this movie isn't better. The basic idea really lends itself for some good movies.

Not long after the going ons in "Pulse" the city is in chaos. Leftover survivor try to find safety. Among them Stephen (Jamie Bamber) and his 10-year-old daughter Justine (Karley Scott Collins). Unfortunately for them the child's mother Michelle (Georgina Rylance) has succumbed to the contagion and is now intent on regaining her child from beyond the grave...Really don't feel like writing too much about this waste of time. Even though the original was hardly a commendable film this straight-to-DVD movie was somehow filmed (almost entirely on a very poorly done blue screen). The plot is tedious and the direction really wallows too much into random scenes and situations. The special effects are several notches below those in the original and the acting is mostly laughably pathetic. The only saving grace is the fact, that the two main characters - Stephen and Justine - actually do a decent job, even though the script and director throws multiple hurdles in the form of stupid and pretentious dialogue. On a plus side there are a couple of really interesting horror ideas wasted in this movie (fatso sex scene, Michelle self-mutilation or the whole idea behind Michelle not being aware she is dead) and for fans of gore there is one very disgusting cat scene. Unfortunately even those plus sides are pulled down in the undertow of bad scripting, directing and an overdose of blue screen.

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 have never seen a movie like this one. I really do like horrors of any kind, but after seeing this movie I thought that I wasted one and a half hour from my life. First of all, I would like to mention that I enjoyed the first Pulse movie, and that's the only reason why I watched the second too. In contrast with the first one - which got a good story, some mysterious scenes and great effects -, the second is about some phantom women, who died, but they came back to life for some personal revenge. I always watch the IMDb's votes for a movie, and I think that barely all the votes were objective and understandable. Than how could this movie got 3.9 votes? In my opinion even the 1 point is too much for this production. Sorry, to say this, but don't watch it!
