Rating: - Mayberry Comes Unglued...
A small, quaint town is hit by an earthquake, resulting in the release of some sort of invisible gas. The townsfolk breathe it in and begin to lose all sense of propriety. Jennifer (Meg Tilly from Psycho 2 and Body Snatchers) and her boyfriend, Stuart (Tim Matheson from Sometimes They Come Back) arrive to investigate the bizarre behavior of Jenny's mum. The pair soon realize that something is seriously wrong in perfect-ville! People seem to have no self-control as they frolic, fight, shag, and generally ... Read More
Rating: - This One Stayed With Me Long After Seeing it
From time to time I think of this film, this weird psychological tale. I saw it back in the 1980's when I rented it from the video store. I am happy that it's on dvd so that I can get reacquainted with it.
I suppose it looks and feels like a stew of the Twilight Zone show and a Cronenberg film. What if you returned to your home town and discovered that people were acting extremely odd, as if there suddenly were no boundaries as to what was socially acceptable. That's the premise here. I don't ... Read More
Rating:  - A 'homogenized' thriller...
Given the title and DVD cover art (it shows stars Tim Matheson and Meg Tilly sort of looking up each others noses) for the film Impulse (1984), one might assume this to be a romantic thriller of sorts but it's really a sinister little piece of celluloid that asks the audience to imagine a place where people suddenly started acted on their impulses, doing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted...directed by Graham Baker (Omen III: The Final Conflict, Alien Nation), the film stars Tim `Otter' Matheson (Animal ...

In the quiet, little, rural town of Sutcliffe in Anywhere, USA, its citizens are suddenly freed from all constraints. They begin acting out their unspoken thoughts. They lose all self control. The town goes from being an idyllic, sleepy little pueblo to a hot bed of sex, murder, and raging testosterone. All its citizens seem to be acting on impulse.
Meg Tilly and Tim Matheson star as a young couple in love in this unsung film. Their world is turned upside down, when Meg's mother does something unspeakable. ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent 80's style movie.
This was not a made for TV movie. I saw this at the theatre when it was released in 1984. What it is lacking in acting, it makes up for in substance. It presents a story of what could happen if we were to lose control of our Freudian "ID" or our impluse center. Everyone has experienced the rage response sometime in their lives. Having studied behavioral science for years this behavior has been duplicated in the laboratory. This is an excellent film for psychology students or anyone interested in human ... Read More
