Remakes of Japanese horror flicks are nothing new. See: The Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water, etc.

The unoriginal trend continues with Pulse, based on the 2001 Japanese horror film, Kairo, said to be a masterpiece, although I have not seen it.

Fresh-faced Kristen Bell of Veronica Mars fame plays Mattie, a university psychology student who has recently witnesssed her boyfriend (Jonathan Tucker) commit suicide after he interacted with a mysterious Internet webcam that promises visitors the chance to see ghosts.

As she and her friends (Christina Milian, Rick Gonzalez, Sam Levine) investigate his death, they also lose their will to live, one by one, as they appear to get "infected" by the literally deadly computer virus.

Along the way, the two good-looking leads deal with lots of dark shadows, flickering lights, creepy noises and terrifying-looking creatures, as Sonzero provides eyecatching visuals and sounds.

The problem is none of it is very scary and when audience members are supposed to be screaming and covering their eyes, they are mostly laughing out loud.
