IMPULSE

Cinemavixion Review

William Grefé's "Impulse" plunges viewers into the unsettling world of Matt Stone, a psychosexually charged gigolo portrayed with chilling conviction by William Shatner. Released in 1974, this exploitation thriller, now presented by Grindhouse Releasing, delves into the dark underbelly of desire and deception. Shatner embodies Stone's predatory nature, a man driven by murderous urges as he preys upon wealthy women. The film's raw energy and unapologetic exploration of its themes, bolstered by a supporting cast including Jenifer Bishop, solidify its status as a cult classic. While the external data notes a modest box office take and a 4.8 rating on IMDb, the film's enduring notoriety speaks to its potent, albeit disturbing, cinematic impact. "Impulse" remains a compelling, albeit uncomfortable, watch for aficionados of 1970s genre cinema.
