Like Hawaii? Like suspenseful movies that don't give away then ending 1/5th of the way in?

A fine, very under rated, flick. Very suspenseful. Timothy Olyphant is terrific as is Steve Zahn. The gals hold their own and are easy on the eyes ;->

Speaking of easy on the eyes, the Hawaiian landscape pictured in the movie is borderline breathtaking.

It was action packed. Very good beginning middle was ok but as the movie went on the less interest I had. I like movies that keep you engaged till the very end but I caught myself drifting off thinking of other things or ways they couldve made the story better. The ending to me was a let down.

This movie starts off by making you have a sense of uneasiness with the house. And makes you always feel like you're not alone. There wasn't that much action in the movie, but when there was, I had to pause let my heart calm down. This movie was well worth the watch, and I would recommend to someone who has the time to watch it. Good acting, very suspenseful, and filled with mystery.

Almost but not quite a mystery.  Almost but not quite a suspense thriller.
The trustees of the Van Traylen fund start dying in peculiar circumstances.  These trustees are in charge of an orphanage on an island, cut off from the real world, left to their own devices, allowing no interference from anyone especially the police.  But the police are brought in when there is an accident involving a bus that the orphans are riding.  One girl is injured and taken to hospital.  A doctor becomes suspicious and involves the orphans real mother, a reporter, another doctor (Peter Cushing), and a police officer (Christopher Lee) who is becoming increasingly alarmed as the violence escalates and a seven year old orphan suddenly goes missing.  Who is killing off all the old geezers of the trust?  Why are all the children weird especially orphan Mary Valley (Gwyneth Strong)?  What are they hiding at this orphanage?

Not quite as absorbing as it should have been.  The main problem with this movie is the slow pace.  That, and the way they stingily dole out the necessary information required to piece the puzzle together.  Things don't become apparent until the final few minutes.  In between theres a lot of chatter, a few odd incidents, a lot of suspicious people acting suspicious, and some minor violence.  If not for the presence of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing this would have been just another humdrum pseudo-crime flick.  They made it watchable.

Easy to read and enjoyable, this is one I'd pick to take with me to the beach or on vacation. It's got enough of the chill factor to keep me near the edge of my chair without scaring me out of my wits. Recently separated from her husband and with a small daughter named Joni, Anna Graves has just returned to her successful call-in radio show after several months on maternity leave. She gets along well with her much-loved co-star, Nathan Wheeler, but less so with her new producer, Heather. But all things considered - which includes a psychologically troubled, off-putting mother and a father who committed suicide - Anna is getting it together.

That is, until it comes apart in a dramatic way. One day as she's walking on the beach with Joni, a teenage boy runs toward them with what Anna believes is clear intent to harm her and/or her daughter. Anna pulls a wicked-looking comb from her purse and, in the tussle that ensues, the boy is stabbed with it and dies. The police, and for the most part, Anna's family and friends, believe she acted in self-defense; the family and friends of the victim - who live on the "other side of the tracks" near the docks - believe otherwise.

For the most part, Anna is coping; but then, new details about the boy's death are revealed, followed by text messages she receives from someone who claims to be the "Ophelia Killer" who murdered seven boys in the town some two decades ago. That person, who seemingly was content to stop at seven, was never identified. In fact, Anna's late father, a journalist, was working on the case when he died. Could it be that he or she is back? And could Anna and her daughter be in danger? In trying to sort things out, Anna strikes up a relationship with an unlikely person - one who may or may not be on her side.

Toward the end, the action begins to heat up, as new details come to light that lead to the killer's identity (I suspected who was involved, but wasn't sure exactly how). And I never really warmed up to Anna despite all that was happening to her; some of what happened stretched the limits of my believability, and further, when heroes and heroines do things that are just plain dumb (the movie version is the scared-silly female being chased by a monster who heads not for a crowded street corner but rather into a dark alley), my sympathy factor drops to zero. All in all, though, this is a very good book - and I thank the author and publisher (via NetGalley) for providing me with an advance copy to read and review.

This movie wasn't too bad when I sat down to watch it. The beginning was kind of slow, but as the plot thickens it becomes to unwind as a suprising ending. I think the slowness of the beginning of the moive threw me off of finding out the ending.

I enjoyed the movie until the very end. I guess it was intended to be a surprise ending. However it just weird.

No, there IS no explanation to what is happening, but we actually like a mystery!  We like not being spoon-fed everything that is going on.  This movie keeps you in suspense as to what is happening to these people as one by one they disappear.  I don't know which is worse:  the fear of being left alone or the fear of going next!  The tension is great, the scenery & the lodge is absolutely beautiful, the acting is very good, and it is simply scary.  There are no monsters to see ( or to disappoint us)just real fear.  It is the kind of movie I keep watching every time I see that it is on cable.  Just plain fun!

I would definitely recommend The Attic. It's a great movie. It will keep you suspenseful throughout until the end. You won't believe the ending.

I watched this movie in a dark dark room. The setting was great, had a few suspenseful parts that did make me jump a bit, but overall not my cup of tea. Without giving away the ending let's just say its the type of movie that as a mother the theme was a bit disturbing. I think Elizabeth Olsen was good, and she was definitely believable in her role. A good movie to pass the time for fans of suspense.

I enjoyed "Pulse" for some of the reasons others didn't. It started out with genuine suspense, and kept a high-level throughout. The actual plot was not blabbed away at the beginning, and it kept me entertained. Kristin Bell was quite good, and Ian Somerhalder was able to handle the heroics as well. The inferior "White Noise" had a similar idea, and I also noticed references to "The Night of the Living Dead". All in all, I thought first-time director Jim Sonzero has made a stylish, beautifully shot suspense film, and I don't feel like I wasted my time. I find no reason to analyze it to pieces or find fault with trivial things. It was a good way to spend a cold Wisconsin afternoon.

I have seen this movie twice. It is a great movie. I wish I could figure out the ending better.
Doesn't matter, I was on the edge of my seat. It is very suspenseful at times.
