Episode 5: The Lost 2000s — Pulse (2001) Movie Review

The Spooky Town Podcast

Hop on that Razor scooter and jack into your MP3 player because The Spooky Town Podcast is taking a look back at horror movies from the 2000s! In our first-ever series, we dive into the so-called dark ages of the horror film genre, smashing that stereotype through our reviews of the best movies to come out of the misunderstood decade. For our first installment of this series, we discuss the masterfully-done Japanese horror film, Pulse (2001), directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Because Pulse deals with depression, anxiety, and suicide themes, we’d like to issue a content warning here. We discuss these themes and how they’re presented in great detail, so please do not listen if these topics are triggering for you. If you are experiencing these feelings and need help, we’ve included some resources you can use below.
