A Grindhouse Releasing & Box Office Spectaculars Theatrical presentation of one of the most shocking and demented thrillers of the 1970s.  William Shatner stars as Matt Stone, a deranged gigolo who preys on rich women, unable to control his murderous psychosexual urges.  Directed by legendary exploitation filmmaker William Grefé (The Death Curse of Tartu), and co-starring Jenifer Bishop (Al Adamson’s The Female Bunch), Ruth Roman (Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train), Harold “Oddjob” Sakata (Goldfinger) and William Kerwin (Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast), Impulse is being presented in a beautiful new master lovingly restored in 4K from rare archival 35mm film elements.

As a boy, Matt Stone (Shatner) became a homicidal maniac after killing his mother’s abusive boyfriend in self-defense.  As a playboy conman in adulthood, he has a history of swindling women out of their money, then killing them and moving on to find his next wealthy victim.  Matt thinks he has spotted the perfect target for his next deadly scam, the alluring single mom Ann Moy (Jennifer Bishop), but Moy’s adolescent daughter Tina sees through the grifter and tries to warn her mother to steer clear.

“Well-crafted and effective… flowing with Grefe’s scalpel-sharp direction.” – Alex Ben Block, The Miami News

“Shatner is incredible and frightening during his lapses into insanity.  There are a number of vividly horrifying murder scenes which make even adults cringe.” – Perry Fulkerson, The Evening
