Kairo aka Pulse (2001)

“A philosophical spin on the conventional ghost story, Pulse sees a small number of Japanese youngsters, most of whom do bugger all work at a rooftop nursery they are employed at, muse about the pointlessness of their existence as the Internet acts as a gateway for ghosts to pop back into the world of the living.” – My Bloody Reviews

“What Kairo sets out to do, it does superbly. However, not everyone will be happy with what it does, which is to sustain an eerie mood for two hours rather than simply tell a scary story. That’s not to say there isn’t a plot; it’s just to say that the plot isn’t the strongest aspect of the film…Throw some more freaky shit into the pot, like black smears left on spaces once occupied by bodies, and “forbidden rooms” sealed with red tape (the adhesive kind, not the bureaucratic bullsh*t) and you’ve got a horror movie stew that some will declare delectable and others will spit out in disgust.” – City on Fire
