aka
Kairo
Pulse
The Circuit

IMDB

When a missing computer hacker is found dead, his young friends explore his apartment and find an odd black splotch on the wall. Analyzing the contents of mysterious floppy disk for clues as to the reason for his suicide, the group unknowingly unleash a virus in which real-time webcam feeds are transmitted to various PCs, even when those same systems aren't equipped for the 'net, or even...on. These disturbing signals are full of solitary shadow figures and pixilated movement, as if being observed from a strange realm meant to resemble our world but losing much in the translation. The teens discover that these digital beings are, in fact, ghosts, but the residues of the solitary living whom exist in a form of living death anyhow as they communicate with other lonely "ghosts" at their desks and terminals. One character likens the afterlife to a hard disc--what happens when it runs out of space? Through a leak, the spirits are finding their way back. After encounters with phantoms and disembodied messages in dark, taped-up rooms and abandoned factories, only a few of the ensemble survive as the spirit world empties into Japan with apocalyptic consequences.

phewww, badass flick. comes equipped with lotsa tension.
a real asian 1percenter (1/100 horror flix from asia represent actual quality

)
personally, i thought it was "good", but i do see potential here that kairo is actually GREAT.... depending on the eye of the beholder

btw, i recommend for u to get the ac3 rip of this (its a 2hrs movie after all), a little undersized, but good quality nonetheless:

Kairo_(2001)_Kurosawa_CD1.avi
Kairo_(2001)_Kurosawa_CD2.avi

Kairo_(2001)_Kurosawa_CD1.srt
Kairo_(2001)_Kurosawa_CD2.srt

its divx 5, 1470 kbit/s average, 656x368 res, fr 29.00 and peachy ac3 audio.

I agree with Knokk TuRnoo - Kairo (Pulse) is one of the better asian ghost story films out there. Dripping with atmosphere. Pass on it and you'll miss out on a great film.

Yeah, excellent movie. This one's my farourite of the recent japanese horrors.

Here's a good interview with the director...
warning: has spoilers (don't recommend reading unless you've seen it)
http://www.dvdtalk.com/interviews/004275.html
he says a little about what he thinks of the Kairo remake being done (towards the bottom), and also a bit about S?ance (Korei) and Charisma (Karisuma) too.

-edit-
just saw Kairo getting a limited release in the US on Nov 9th.
