Critic Reviews for Impulse

A painfully atrocious would-be thriller with some of the worst directing and acting you're ever likely to see. William Shatner is amazingly bad, and the little blonde girl is even worse. Truly hideous.

Low budget junk that managed to rope in Ruth Roman in the cast. She was far too good an actress to be stuck in trash like this. Shatner chews the scenery shamelessly.

It was fun to see Shatner playing the bad guy for once. This movie is actually more funny than scary, but I really enjoyed it.

This is the movie. This is the one you must see right now. It's like a visual aid to Shatner's classic The Transformed Man. Watch Shatner go insane and overact where man has never dreamed of going before. This movie could have wall to wall puppy killing, but as long as it has the Shatner performance it would still be perfection. Now give it a DVD release!
