Computer Ghosts Still Won't Die In Pulse 3

Those pesky ghosts stuck in our internet continue to plague the Earth and somehow get movie deals. In the latest installment of the Pulse saga, the little girl that was featured in the first movie is all growed up and tools around with Boy Meets World's Rider Strong. A gallery of ghastly ghost stills await you along with spoilers.

In Pulse 3: Invasion, we pick up after Justine's arguing parents were both turned into ghosts and the little girl was ushered off to a remote location by a group of strangers. There, they avoid technology and live in a primitive lifestyle. But now that she's a teenager, she leaves the shelter of her new home in search of answers. A seeming survivor living in the city, named Adam, lures her into the city, which is overrun with the phantoms. And of course her annoying ghost parents (one of whom is Battlestar Galactica's Jamie Bamber) get in the way.

Hugging Children Equals Death In Pulse 2 Clip

It's like I've always said — kids are no good, and they only lead to trouble, especially in horror movies. Case in point: this poor computer ghost from Pulse 2 (the direct to DVD sequel to Pulse) just wants to reach out and hug her kiddies, and what does the child do? Cause her to break apart and crumble, just as she was about to give her daughter a haircut. In the sequel, humans have to flee the villages and head to the remote hills, as dead people have found a way into the living world through the internet. Pulse 2 will be released in stores September 30, with Pulse 3 quickly on it's heels.

A Terrible Black Ooze Seeps From The Internet, Called Pulse 2

The people who brought you suicide by ethernet cable, in Pulse, are working on a second your-computer-will-kill-you movie. Pulse 2, the movie we didn't know we wanted, has released a few stills, which show all the hallmarks of a truly awful sequel, including lesser copies of the first movie's special effects and the addition of some children. That being said, I'm a wee bit curious to see what happened to the world after the internet opened a portal to another dimension in the first movie. Details and stills from the upcoming movie after the jump.

In Pulse 2 picks up where the original left off. Humans have had to flee cities and live in remote areas, free of computers and wireless internet. Spirits haunt the cities sucking the will to live out of any humans they pass. The sequel will be released September 30, 2008.
