Give in to Your Impulse to Buy This Film

Among the new releases from Kino Lorber coming in September that movie fans will have the chance to own is 1984's Impulse, in high definition for the first time, transferred directly from a 4K scan of the original negative. Best described as The Crazies meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with a pinch of The Purge, Impulse is a science-fiction thriller with some genuine horror elements that also features a memorable role by the ever-awesome Bill Paxton.

Impulse will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray on September 18th and will retail for $19.95 and $29.95 respectively, plus the cost of shipping. If you are interested, you can pre-order it right from Kino Lorber. Will you be revisiting this forgotten classic or will you resist all your impulses and pass altogether?
