Review of Impulse (1974) by Valerie B — 12 May 2012
Wow. This is a movie that is only fit for viewing with a large group of folks who are together for the express purpose of honoring and mocking William Shatner. Thematically, this movie suffers from a miserable script and piss-poor direction to go along with the extremely questionable acting skills of the cast.
Technically, it's a textbook example of how NOT to edit, light, or film a movie, or mix sound, for that matter. It would be redeemably funny if the chase scenes (most notably the one through a car wash and the one through a funeral parlor) were filmed with the intent to amuse, but I suspect not.
Riotously bad, but riotously funny with the right company. I hope I never have to watch it again (or, if I do, that copious amounts of wine are also involved).
