  Pulse 2001

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  the sound design genuinely almost made me poop myself. 

  and why is this honestly the first analog horror movie. or at least to utilize the most biologically-overwhelming fear and modern understanding of the genre. uncanny figures and environments via the digital format loosening defenses until you can’t trust anything you’re being shown. 

  littered with very bizarre, minutes long shots, especially when building its suspense, which takes you out of the movie and into your most uncomfortable position. 

  something to learn…

  lovely 70s era phantom of the opera rendition with some ear-worm music and campy performances. easily my favorite musical.
