Seven years after the population of planet Earth was devastated due to an attack by "soulless ghosts," the few human survivors living a primitive existence on the outskirts of a decimated city discove... read more read more...r that the worst is yet to come. The human race is haunted. Stalked from the beyond by ghosts who use technology to enter our reality, our numbers have dwindled to nearly nothing. Only a few survivors still exist, and they must do their best to get by without any modern technology whatsoever. Their lives are changed forever with the arrival of a sixteen year old girl named Justine, whose adolescent curiosity may ultimately cement the extinction of our species. Unable to resist the allure of a working laptop, Justine opens the computer and unleashes the most horrific supernatural attack ever to be waged against mankind. Now, in a world devoid of hope, humanity wages its last stand against a force powerful enough to swallow up entire civilizations. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I really don't know why they keep making these trashy sequels to an already bad remake. Oh wait the money. Pulse has nothing going for it to make it truly interesting. The only thing that's going for it is how awful it can get. Well for the series this is an awful third entry wit... read moreh nothing interesting. The script is awful, the scares are cheap, with nothing creative about them, and the film looks very low budget. Of course straight to DVD titles will always suck, but on the rare occasion they'll be one that stands out as actually quite good, unfortunately, Pulse 3 doesn't do that whatsoever. This is a stupid franchise, and these sequels and remake included are pointless and an insult to the original work. They really should get a hint that these films suck. Hollywood should focus on quality, not quantity. These films are awful and have nothing creative about them. The actors are crap, the directing is awful and everything else is out of place. These films should've never been made in the first place. I really don't understand the point of making awful sequels to an already awful remake. Do yourself a favor, watch something other than this trash, I found it's more of the same than the first two films in this dreadful series and it doesn't pay off. Avoid it.

    This is real bad. Looked so fake and even though I thought the idea of this one was pretty good the overall result was bad and the acting by the main girl especially.

    This is an interesting installment in the 'Pulse' collection that follows closely after the second Pulse movie. It follows young Justine after seven years had past, and is now living amongst a family in a West Texas safe-zone.

    Pulse 3 starts off seven years after the last attack by the ghosts that like to appear when you use a computer or cellphone only now the world is left void of all deadly electronics or so some people think that is untill Justine who was part of Pulse 2's storyline now grown up co... read moremes upon a laptop once opened she starts off a chain of events that might prove the end of mankind or will she save it?.

    Hm, not what I expected. I was ready for some dumb horror and gore and that was not it. This was more on the psychological side and not horror at all. Little suspenseful and a small bit of thriller...! Very much surprisingly pretty good. Not a masterpiece in any sense but pretty ... read moregood.

actually works better than the original theatrical release of Pulse because the bar is a bit lower. Full Review
