Impulse

About This Movie

Impulse, directed by Graham Baker, dives into the eerie aftermath of a small quake where townsfolk start acting out in increasingly bizarre and violent ways. The tone is unsettling, almost dreamlike, as the ordinary becomes a backdrop for chaos. The pacing keeps you on edge, balancing between unsettling moments and brief lulls that make the eruptions feel even more jarring. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, add a tangible quality to the horror, grounding the strangeness in something you can almost touch. Performances here are nuanced, capturing a blend of confusion and ferocity that really heightens the film's disturbing atmosphere. It’s this unique blend of sci-fi mystery and horror that sets Impulse apart from other genre entries of its time.
