I usually don't watch any foreign films due to the annoying habit of reading the subtitles more than actually watching the actual movie. I've made an exception with Ghost on the Shell 2, but we've watched another Japanese film in class that may be worth my time down the road. "Pulse" is a low budget Japanese horror film involving ghosts an the internet. I can't say much more since I only was able to watch only a fraction of it, but during that time the inexpensive film had a good enough storyline going for it for me to watch the full version in the future.
One funny thing I noticed in the film was a similarity between the horror film "The Messengers". In Pulse, the boy that hung himself appears where he committed suicide - before this (what I believe to be blood)stain on the wall. In the Messangers, the farm wife's ghost emerges from a growing water stain on the wall. Makes me wonder if the Messangers( which I believe is newer) referenced Pulse.
