Center
Primary
The film explores themes of technological alienation and the breakdown of human connection through a supernatural horror narrative. Its critique of modern society's reliance on technology is presented as a general societal observation rather than an explicit promotion of any specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, though its primary protagonists are white. The narrative focuses on a supernatural horror theme, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The 2006 film "Pulse" is an American remake of the 2001 Japanese film "Kairo." The original characters were canonically Japanese, while the remake's main characters are portrayed by actors of different races (e.g., White, Black, Hispanic), constituting a race swap for the established roles.
The film 'Pulse' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a supernatural horror premise involving technology and spectral entities, with all depicted relationships being heterosexual.
The film 'Pulse' (2006) does not feature any transsexual characters or explore transgender themes. The narrative focuses on supernatural horror related to technology and isolation, with no elements pertaining to transsexual identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Pulse (2006) is a remake of the Japanese film Kairo (2001). A comparison of the main characters between the original and the remake reveals that all corresponding roles maintain the same gender. No established character from the source material was portrayed as a different gender.
