- TriviaCo-stars, lead actress Meg Tilly and veteran actor Hume Cronyn, had both recently just worked on their most previously released picture with actress Glenn Close, on 'The Big Chill' (1983) and 'The World According to Garp' (1982) respectively. All three are Oscar (Academy Award) nominees who have never won [to date, June 2021].
- GoofsThe power went out in the town. You see the milk pasteurizers stop spinning at the farm and all the lights are off. If the power was out, why was the porch light on when Jenny/Stewart are out front by the bench? And again, later, the lights around the farm stalls are lit, but the rest of the town still has no power.

Featured review
Viewing "Impulse" is a very satisfying experience. Unpredictable films are such a rarity, when one comes along like "Impulse", it is something to embrace. The script is logical, and extremely creative. Meg Tilly, Tim Matheson, Hume Cronyn, and Bill Paxton, give believable performances. This could have played out like a zombie movie, but "Impulse" is far superior to any boring "zombiefest", and originality shines through in almost every scene. You get the feeling that something like this could have actually happened, even though the script is pure fiction. From the "grabber" opening till the credits roll, you will be fascinated. Very entertaining and definitely recommended. - MERK
