"Imagine our wireless technologies made a connection to a world beyond our own. Imagine that world used that technology as a doorway into ours. Now, imagine that the connection we made can’t be shut down. When you turn on your cell phone or log on to your e-mail, they’ll get in, you’ll be infected and they’ll be able to take from you what they don’t have anymore – life."
"Pulse" was written by Ray Wright and Wes Craven and directed by second-timer Jim Sonzero. The flick hits theaters on July 14th. And it stars Veronica Mars!
Anyone out there ready for yet another Japan-to-America horror remake? Then sit back and get comfortable for the "Pulse" trailer, which you can see right here.
"A website which at first appears to be merely a scary hoax with an irresistible marketing ploy turns out to be run by a sinister and deadly force. As more and more people tap into the site’s frightening images of the dead, the supernatural force controlling it begins to dominate the lives of the people that log on."
Based on Kiyoshi Kurosawa‘s 2001 hit "Kairo," "Pulse" is directed by first-timer Jim Sonzero, adapted by "The Grudge" writer Stephen Susco, and produced by (you guessed it) Wes Craven. Starring Kristen Bell, Steve Talley, and Ian Somerhalder, "Pulse" pops into theaters on March 3rd.
