Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
ejonconrad I'm an aficionado of bad movies, and a big William Shatner fan, so how was I unaware of this gem? It's magnificently horrible. Shatner plays a sleezy, polyester-clad, cigarillo-smoking gigolo who is also a murderer. It's the role he was born to play.He cranks cranks his Shatner-ness way up past 11, and his overacting is ridiculous even by his venerable standards. On the other hand, it appears that the makers tried to make him look good by surrounding him with actors even worse than he is - particularly the child actor.This is definitely a must for your Bad Movie Night library.
Rainey Dawn I cannot help but to think of the evil Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TOS: Mirror, Mirror. I'm sorry but that is what runs through my mind seeing this film. If you want to see a good slasher film with William Shatner the I recommend Visiting Hours (1982) - that is a good movie to me! Yes I love Bill Shatner but I could not sit though Impulse. It's just too lame and awful for me to sit an 1 1/2 hours forcing myself to watch it. I wish I could but life is too short for that and there are other great films to watch - including one's with The Shat! Yes the film is funny - because it's hard to see Bill in this role. But it's just not "him" so I have problems with watching it. And the fact the film is just overall bad no matter who played the role of Matt Stone.The film gets one extra point from me just for The Shat! 2/10
reverendtom This is one of the most deliriously hilarious movies I have ever seen. William Shatner, yes, THE William Shatner as an evil, psychotic male hooker. Oh, and he has a pimp named "Karate Pete", too. There really aren't too many words to describe this film. Let me give you my own reactions. I laughed so hard at some scenes that I had to rewind them so I could hear the dialogue. And even upon re-watching them, it was a struggle not to urinate in my pants I was in such an uproar. I hadn't planned on getting drunk that night, but this film basically forced me to drink. It is a powerful film, no doubt about it. I wish Shatner had played more psychos, its a revelation in overracting. I recently won a copy on ebay ($4.99), and I sleep better at night now, knowing that this film is mere feet away from me at all times. An absolute classic in bad cinema!
librachild "Impulse" is a must see for any fan of B moviedom! During a low point in his career, Shatner gives a stellar performance as Matt a psychotic killer. He begins his killing ways as a child when he sees his mother, in their home, being raped by a soldier (played by William Kerwin) and plunges a Samurai sword into him. The film then flashes forward to 1974 Florida where he kills his current lover, then comes into a small town and wins the heart of a widow, but not her disapproving young daughter. The daughter is wise to his motives after she witnesses Shatner kill Harold Sakata in a car wash, but no one will believe her until the bloody climax of the film. Think Shatner's acting was tacky in his Star Trek hey day? He goes over the top in this cheapy thriller. And yes, dig his groovy duds! Everything from polyester zig zag print shirts to striped tank top and white pimp suit complete with hat! Cheesy scenes, dialogue and plot make this drive in delight a movie to seek out. Hard to find, it is slowly making it's way to DVD. This would have made an excellent MST3K episode! Fun for all!
