Join us on Wednesday 29 October for our Halloween screening of Pulse (2001) at The Castle Cinema in Hackney. In Cure director Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s modern horror classic, spectres infest an analog world that’s rapidly giving way to a digital one. An apocalyptic, tech-sceptic ghost story on growing disconnection and isolation in the internet age, Pulse is routinely ranked amongst the scariest horror movies ever made and features a centrepiece scene of such uncanny terror it has been described by The AV Club’s Scott Tobias as “the signature sequence in all of J-horror”.
Presented in collaboration with SciFrights Podcast, the film will be introduced by Jasper Sharp, a critic, author, filmmaker and independent scholar specialising in Japanese cinema
