Pulse 2: Afterlife

In a shattered world where the very glow of a screen can summon the dead, humanity has retreated into silence. The wireless internet that once connected billions became a conduit for restless spirits, leaving cities empty, technology shattered, and any remaining survivors terrified of the unseen entities that now drift through the air. The atmosphere is one of pervasive dread, punctuated by the eerie repetition of ghostly echoes that replay the final moments of those who fell victim to the digital plague. This unsettling backdrop creates a stark, oppressive mood where every abandoned building and silent street feels both a refuge and a potential trap.

At the heart of this bleak landscape is Michelle, a frantic mother desperate to locate her daughter before the unseen menace claims them both. Her search draws her into a tangled web of grief and desperation, forcing her to confront not only the hostile world but also the fragile remnants of her own past. Opposite her, Stephen, her estranged ex‑husband, becomes an unlikely ally, driven by a paternal instinct to protect his child while navigating his own haunted history. Their daughter, Justine, embodies the vulnerable innocence that hangs in the balance, her very presence a catalyst for the choices they must make.

Adding to the tension is Marta, Stephen’s companion, whose pragmatic survival instincts clash with the surreal reality of a world haunted by electronic specters. Their interactions are colored by a constant, uneasy negotiation between trust and suspicion, as each character wrestles with the fear of unseen forces and the weight of past decisions. The film’s tone blends claustrophobic horror with a lingering melancholy, inviting viewers to feel the oppressive silence that has settled over a once‑vibrant civilization.

Amidst the ruin, the characters move through a landscape where every flicker of light could herald a phantom, and every whispered warning hints at larger mysteries yet to be uncovered. Their journeys are less about battles and more about navigating a haunting sense of loss, forging fragile connections, and confronting the unknown that lingers just beyond the reach of the human eye.
