Such a frustrating disappointment

Simply A Masterpiece

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A very small earthquake in a very small town appears to be the cause of everyone becoming increasingly crazy. The heroine's mother attempts suicide, which brings her back to her home town with her boyfriend. Some crazy stuff happens, such as;-old people play kickball in the street-an old guy urinates on the boyfriend's car-old people suddenly try to rob a bank that they're in-the old sheriff shoots a shoplifter in the back with an M16. Okay, it's America, so that one isn't so far-fetched. But old people are crazy.Bill is the heroine's brother, he and his father run a very small dairy farm that doesn't have any cows, but somehow produces enough milk for the town. No sterilization, no pasteurization, hell, it's not even covered, it just sits in a big open vat before being poured into bottles.While the boyfriend starts to go crazy, he discovers old pictures that the brother has of her sister, and kills him.She then drives away while the whole town is now burning after everyone starts a riot.A quick cut to the end (because many scenes make no sense), the boyfriend discovers the earthquake broke open a sealed pit that is leaking something into the water that is being used in the local milk (she didn't drink any). He then discovers the "government" are spraying the town, and they shoot him. The heroine sees him getting gunned down, and rams the shooter, killing him. She then walks away, the end.End credits reveal the entire town mysteriously die (from the government spraying, presumably).Starring: Anne Haney, an old woman who steals from the bank, goes on to play Judge Travelini in LA LawJohn Karlen, he's been playing cops for 30 years, but here ends up as a dairy farmerMeg Tilly (whom I often mistake for her sister, Jennifer), most famous for The Big Chill, recast in 3 movies after receiving injuries, took a 15 year hiatus to raise her children, came back to starring in Bomb Girls, 6-part miniseries that turned into 2 seasons and a movieTim Matheson, did a lot of kid's cartoons in the 60s (Jonny Quest, Sinbad Jr, Young Samson & Goliath, Space Ghost (and recently Scooby-Doo in 2013)), most famous as Vice-President on West Wing and Dr Breeland on Hart Of Dixie. He also appears in the latest Jumanji movie.

Coming home should be reminiscent and subtitling. However, when a relative and the rest of the town started acting peculiar, then you start to wonder. In the movie "Impulse", it makes a whole lot of sense. Meg Tilly play Jennifer, a city girl whose mother called her and started to act erratic and who later shoot herself in the head. Tim Matheson plays Stuart, her husband who helps out with the family. Earlier, there was a earthquake, and after wards things were fine. Wrong. After the quake, people began to act violent or sexual. The bar scenes are always going to be unpredictable. Until one of the locals breaks his own fingers. Or how about the bank worker who lets a customer grab the money then go to the bar and become very unreasonable with Jennifer. Though Jennifer was the only one who didn't drink the local milk. It seems to be the cause of the insanity of the town. Since Stuart did work in the medical field, he was able to find out the cause of the insanity. Even though infected himself, he still have the guts to root out the cause. Very nice movie, could have more to it. Watchable. 2 out of 5 stars.

Im not a big Tim Matheson fan but i have to admit i liked this film.It was dark and a small bit disturbing with some scenes a bit edgy,i don't know were to classify this film its a bit SF and a bit horror slash thriller.I saw this at about 2.00am or so on my local channel there was nothing else on so i decided to watch it.If you have not seen this film id recommend it its not really that bad,the characters are interesting enough but not really explored to their full potential which could have made this film even more better.I don,t know if this film went to the cinema but it felt like it was made for TV or went straight to video,i for one would buy this if it,s on DVD it fits well with my type of film and has a small bit of the X-FILES story attached to it.Government undertakings or shifty corporations involved in dodgy shadowy dealings.Overall a good film.

I have been known to fall asleep during films, but this is usually due to a combination of things including, really tired, being warm and comfortable on the sette and having just eaten a lot. However on this occasion I fell asleep because the film was rubbish. The plot development was constant. Constantly slow and boring. Things seemed to happen, but with no explanation of what was causing them or why. I admit, I may have missed part of the film, but i watched the majority of it and everything just seemed to happen of its own accord without any real concern for anything else. I cant recommend this film at all.
