Pulse 2: Afterlife is a horror movie released in 2008, directed by Joel Soisson and produced by Dimension Films. It is the sequel to the 2006 film Pulse and stars Todd Giebenhain, Diane Ayala Goldner, and Rachel Robinson. The movie runs for 91 minutes and is rated R for horror violence and disturbing images. The film is set in a world that has been ravaged by a virus that infects technology and turns it against humanity. This virus has caused people to become isolated and disconnected from each other, leading to an increase in depression and suicide. However, some people have found a way to survive by living off the grid and avoiding any kind of digital technology.

The main character of the film is Stephen (Todd Giebenhain), a man who lost his wife and daughter to the virus and is now trying to survive in this new, dangerous world. Stephen is haunted by the memory of his daughter and is looking for any way to reconnect with her. After picking up a distressed hitchhiker named Isabelle (Diane Ayala Goldner), Stephen learns that the virus has taken on a new form and is now able to affect physical space, not just electronic devices.

As they travel together, they encounter other survivors, including a group of teenagers who have managed to create a community where they can live safely. The teenagers are led by a girl named Justine (Rachel Robinson), who is determined to keep her friends alive and find a way to stop the virus. Justine and her group have found a way to harness the energy of the virus and use it to communicate with the dead.

Stephen, Isabelle, and Justine team up to try and find a way to defeat the virus and save the world. Their journey takes them through abandoned cities and dangerous rural areas, where they encounter all kinds of horrors, from the living dead to crazed cults. Along the way, they also have to confront their own fears and personal demons in order to survive.

The film is filled with suspenseful moments and terrifying images, and the director does an excellent job of creating a sense of dread and hopelessness. The acting is solid, especially from Giebenhain, who manages to convey the pain and desperation of his character with nuance and subtlety. Goldner is also excellent as Isabelle, bringing both vulnerability and strength to her role.

One of the most interesting aspects of the film is its exploration of loneliness and disconnection in the age of technology. The virus that infects the world in the film can be seen as a metaphor for the way that digital technology has separated us from each other, and the way that we have become increasingly isolated and disconnected from the world around us. The film also touches on issues of grief, loss, and the power of memory.

Overall, Pulse 2: Afterlife is a solid horror film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Its exploration of technology and isolation makes it stand out from other films in the genre, and its cast and director deliver a gripping and suspenseful story that is sure to satisfy fans of horror.

Pulse 2: Afterlife is a 2008 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.4.
