PULSE Sequels Back to Back

The horror fans over at Bloody Disgusting have revealed that Dimension is planning to shoot the two sequels to PULSE in back-to-back fashion in September. They already have titles for these straight to dvd sequels and plot synopsis available. None of the original remake's cast will be appearing in these two follow-ups.

Here's the details given.

PULSE: AFTERLIFE : The world has been reshaped by the invasion of ghosts via the wireless internet. Cities are deserted, technology has been destroyed and the few remaining human beings eschew anything electrical in order to avoid a confrontation with the soulless ghosts that now wander the planet. Most of the ghosts are doomed to a repetitive loop of something they did while they were still despairing humans (a man repeatedly hangs himself, for example), but there are some ghosts so locked in denial, they do not know they are dead. They continue to haunt their homes, wrapped in fear that their souls will soon be torn from them.

PULSE: INVASION: It is now seven years later and the survivors on Earth have settled into a primitive lifestyle completely void of electronics. The clusters of human survivors live together in refugee camps as the phantoms have taken over the cities. Justine is now a teenager and she escapes to the city to try and make a life for herself where she is not a drain on her adopted family (her parents both became phantoms in part one). She heads in to the city at the urging of Adam, a seeming survivor in the city that lures her with promises of understanding and friendship.

Kristen Bell is my wife.

How's your wife and my kid doing?

I also like your wife and child's mother only because I have the superhuman capacity to forget Pulse.

H-how can that be? Did I miss something? Did it actually made money at the box office or is Dimension really living in another dimension? I know straight to DVD doesn't promise something good, but usually, they flow on the original's reputation?

Well, to its benefit, they did coin the concept of "frequencies we didn't even know existed". Oh, man, I still laugh at this one.

Didn't pulse make its money back in one weekend? Then it dropped out of the money race like chucking an apple off a cliff. It's a matter of money. Pulse was definitely a direct to Video movie. It had something going, but fell off at the end, and the acting was so generic it felt like everyone was stonewalled. The dead people had more life than the living. I'll wait for Sci-Fi to show these ones.

No, Pulse did not make back its budget in one weekend. The budget was $20M, and it took the entire domestic theatrical run for it to make its production budget. Throw in about $10M in foreign box office plus DVDs, charge that against the marketing costs, and you're looking at a movie that probably broke even more-or-less. In other words, it didn't make enough dough for a theatrical sequel, but did make enough to justify a couple low-budget direct-to-DVD movies.

Pulse was the first movie in years that I walked out of and demanded a refund before it was over.

CappyMorgan • Jul 21, 2007, 12:26pm •
Huh, I don't even remember hearing about this movie and it garners sequels. Go figure.

snallygaster • Jul 21, 2007, 01:03pm •
Cappy, Pulse came out last August. It was definitely one of those blink-and-its-gone movies that lasted about two weeks in most theaters. Along with Grudge 2, it was apparently the last of the based-on-Asian-horror-movies for awhile. At least I haven't heard of any other such projects currently in the production pipeline.

I actually enjoyed pulse,,,,,it was a little creepy....it wasnt great, but it was entertaining. I don't know if it deserves a sequal, but i might check them out. Sounds like they are going Resident Evil style.

If anybody cares Pulse is on the Starz channel all this month. It's not bad, but it's not good either. What I want to know when did Horror movies become labeled as PG-13. I always considered a Horror movie to be Rated R. But hey to each his/hers own.
