Impulse
After a small earthquake in a tiny, quiet town, local citizens start to exhibit bizarre, violent and self-destructive behaviour.
Critics Sentiment
Jimmy and Shawn trap Jennifer in garage and set it on fire
Stuart discovers Eddie harbors incestuous feelings for Jennifer and kills him
Sharp drop from the praised garage fire sequence to the disturbing incest revelation and murder
Critics found Impulse to be a mixed experience with some genuinely creepy and well-executed moments, particularly the fire sequence and believable depictions of people losing impulse control. However, the film was widely criticized for being too slow-paced and predictable, with an unsatisfying ending that left too many questions unanswered. While some appreciated its originality compared to typical zombie films, most felt it suffered from sluggish pacing that prevented it from reaching its potential.
