It's an apocalyptic ghost story with some eerie images and a surprising turn toward the end, but it bogs down considerably between the good scenes.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

It's not about blood, gore and oozing innards but unsettling creepiness that gets under a moviegoer's skin and makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

While it's rattling your nerves, Pulse leaves your brain wanting more.
