Pulse 2: Afterlife (2008)

Pulse 2: Afterlife is the sequel to the reboot of the original Japanese Pulse from 2001. The Pulse reboot from 2006 followed the story of the original fairly closely, but changed one significant detail. Instead of red tape being used to keep internet ghosts inside a room, the red tape is now used to keep ghosts out of a room. This change served two purposes. One, it avoided the glaring plot holes that pulled down the original (why were the ghosts in specific rooms and who taped them in) and two, it expanded the limitations of the original story. In the original, once someone opened up a sealed room the ghosts got out and it was game over. There was no way to escape them and mankind was eventually wiped out. In the reboot, people could tape themselves into rooms for protection. And now in Pulse 2, they expanded on this concept even more.

The movie starts with a guy walking down the street completely surrounded by ghosts, but also invisible to them. He's invisible because he's draped in red and wrapped up in red tape. He took the concept of red tape protecting a room to red tape protecting himself. By being able to safely walk around we're able to see how many ghosts are just wandering around aimlessly looking for a new victim, any new victim. It's kind of like a zombie apocalypse movie in this way. As he's walking around he comes across a dad and a little girl driving in a truck. He forces them to steal some super specific electrical device from a store and then takes off. The rest of the movie is about the dad and his daughter (and the dad's wife) (and the dad's girlfriend) trying to survive the internet ghost apocalypse.
