Review of Impulse

Impulse (1984)
3/10
It's in the water...again!
5 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Despite its all-star cast, 'Impulse' has very little to offer (for me, at least). Categorized as horror, there's very little horror elements here. Thriller will suffice, at best.

Shortly after an earthquake, Jenny's mother calls her - ranting and calling her names, and then she shoots herself. So Jenny (Meg Tilly) and her boyfriend Stuart (Tim Matheson) then visits her home. Soon, the towns people start behaving strangely - mostly rude and crude.

Stuart and Jenny discover the water is polluted by toxic waste. As the towns people become infected, their quest for survival begins. Yeah, we've certainly seen this premise before. It's in the water...again! The film felt like fragments of other films sewn together. And if you must know, it doesn't have a satisfactory ending, with no explanation for the events.

Ultimately, I think this is going to be forgettable. There simply is nothing here that will make me remember it...
