The title itself can bring uneasiness into the most tranquil of atmospheres and certainly it indeed lives up to that by captivating its audience through the way it incorporates enigmas from beginning to end. By using a female protagonist the creators have certainly understood that authenticity and originality is what appeals most to an audience and the imagery of a woman holding a knife endorsed in blood can prove to be interestingly diverse from what is usually linked to horror movie genres. The urban setting gives it a more up to date look that an audience of mature teens are sure to find appealing while the authentic use of gory detail is sure to attract an audience of regular horror movie viewers.

The contrapuntal soundtrack proves to be successful in adding to its enigmatic representation of usual horror movie conventions and sets the tone of the film in an exciting manner since it builds up throughout the trailer and never really concludes, which therefore leaves the audience wanting more. It is defiantly a visual treat for male viewers since the two leading characters are award winning actresses, Valeria Bramucci and Hasnaa Khaderun, who are known for turning fiction into actuality in their movies and this movie stands to be no different.

There is no doubt that the audience won’t feel a sense of fear while viewing this trailer since it draws them into the movie themselves therefore giving them a chance to identify with the characters through it’s extreme close-ups and slow build up of daunting music causing them to feel the fear that the victim (played by Valeria Bramucci) is feeling. Therefore, ‘Pulse of Darkness’ confirms to be the ultimate movie of this coming winter, a movie of today created from original aspects and sure not to disappoint an audience of waiting horror movie fans looking for the next best thing.
