Japanese horror movies are in a class of their own. From the goofy special effects of House to the cultural relevance of The Ring to the blockbuster that is Godzilla, J-horror has always made a chilling impact, even to global audiences.
In 2001, Kiyoshi Kurosawa directed Pulse, a now-classic techno-horror following a ghostly invasion occurring over the still-novel internet. It revolutionized horror at the time with its embrace of technology and its restraint with its visuals, instead relying on anticipation and a creeping sense of dread. Now, a quarter century later, Pulse is getting a brand-new remake from a promising director.
