Pulse (Kairo) (2001) -- K. Kurosawa
J-Horror film from Kiyoshi
Kurosawa that moves from ghost in the machine to forbidden rooms to something
quite like the apocalypse. The pervasive
mood evoked is less one of dread than of loneliness, but this is eventually
countered with a warmth that arises from partnership and trust in the face of
extreme challenge. Sure, there are
ellipses in the plot (this is still J-Horror) but, for me, these only add to
the creepiness and sense of detachment and alienation. The thrills and chills are there, but
Kurosawa has something deeper to say.
