In September, I mentioned the straight-to-DVD release of Pulse 2, noting that its summary contained the laughable line, "The world has been reshaped by the invasion of ghosts via the wireless internet."

Seven years after the last attack by the “soulless ghosts” who haunted the human race twice before, the world is left void of all deadly electronics that almost destroyed it… or so we thought. Living a primitive existence on the outskirts of the city, human survivors are surviving without any trace of technology. That is until 16 year old Justine enters the city and, letting her curiosity get the best of her, opens a working laptop and unknowingly unleashes the most terrifying attack the survivors have ever faced. In a world already torn and without hope, can humanity make it through the toughest struggle of all time?

Is there a secret Luddite consortium that I don't know about dumping funds into these, hoping to instigate technological panic? It's hard to tell if this is cheesy horror or the most ill-conceived propaganda ever made.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and Friday the 13th (2009) director Marcus Nispel's latest remake, Conan the Barbarian, still has another three months before audiences are exposed to a decidedly less-Austrian take on the character, but already Nispel is ready to move on to a new... / Continue →
