There's an argument that PULSE is the most depressing horror movie ever made. Probably the most depressing movie we've done on GenreVision. If you know us, you know that reads as a recommendation. A must-see bummer.

While thrillers like SERPENT’S PATH and CLOUD blend gripping suspense with incisive social commentary. And in sui generis dramas like BRIGHT FUTURE and TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, Kurosawa brings his keen-eyed formalism to stories of characters cast adrift in an increasingly uncertain world.

From pedal-to-the-metal tales of crazed killers behind the wheel to terrifying detours into the hostile wilderness to careening journeys into the occult and supernatural, these nightmares on wheels turn the open road into a freeway to hell. Programmed by Clyde Folley.

Criterion Channel @criterionchannl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

While the road movie typically imagines the open highway as a conduit for freedom and self-discovery, these films explore the genre’s dark underside, where a wrong turn, a chance encounter along a desolate byway, or a serious case of road rage plunges travelers into a desperate fight for survival.
