Pulse 2: Afterlife (2008)

Did you like Silent Hill? You might like this too then. It's different but... similar. With the same ashen clouds. The same eeriness. The ghosts and all. The open stalls.

It's not perfect but it is hella spooky, with a naked woman and style reminiscent of It Follows, sometimes, and a plot that somewhat reminds me of The Cell.

It also seems like there's potential for a sequel, since characters interacted with here don't all disappear.

There may be a solution in sight.

I wonder if the man in red is a reoccurring character from the last one. Haven't seen the prequel. I might after this.

There's no happy ending here though. It's not a happy movie, but it's one with a fascinating level of effects and general spookiness.

Curtains torn are whole again. A house that's cleaned is dirty again. A ghost tries to live yet doesn't realize she's but a ghost. There's a lot of that. And then there's love. There are both the malevolent, and there are those.

If there is a third I need to see it, since nobody's really dead or alive here maybe there's still hope for the dead, and for the living too...

Either way this was a creatively atmospheric and incongruent brew.

Good movie. Hope to see more.

 rated 3.5/5: not bad at all
