Pulse

DramaHorrorMysterySci-FiThriller90 min

When the dead begin reaching the living through cellphones and computers, a group of college friends traces the nightmare to a mysterious wireless signal that turns everyday devices into gateways for something inhuman. Kristen Bell is among the students trying to contain the spread, while Ian Somerhalder’s hacker friend is tied to the first breach. Christina Milian rounds out the ensemble as the outbreak moves from dorm rooms and desktops to a wider collapse. Pulse builds its scares around frozen screens, dropped calls, and the sense that ordinary technology has become an open line to the other side.
