Bad Impulse Film Poem

by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker

After watching "Bad Impulse," directed and produced by Michelle Danner and starring Grant Bowler and Sonya Walger, I couldn’t resist writing a poem about this clever psychological thriller. It really impressed me with its timely theme, and the last shot is absolutely unforgettable. No wonder this involving movie won several awards on the film festival circuit.

Poem Artwork

Suspense, fear and anxiety!

“Bad Impulse” is a wild movie.

A film filled with hair-raising thrills

plus surprises and creepy chills.      

 

Home protection takes center stage

leading to family rampage.

Thriller fans should be very pleased.

But in the end will fears be eased?     

I can’t tell you, yet please beware.

“Bad Impulse” gives you quite a scare!  

(Production company: All in Films. Not rated by MMPA.)

I am forewarned. I can remember being scared only twice watching movies…

In Wait Until Dark when Audrey Hepburn forgot to remove the light in the refrigerator and Alan Arkin opened the door… No, earlier when he repeatedly drove the car up against the guy up against the fence, killing him not so lightly.

And, in the French Connection, while I hung onto the dashboard (in the theater?) as Popeye Boyle (Gene Hackman) "pick your feet in Poughkeepsie" drove under the elevated subway in a wild chase of car wreckage to catch up with the train. Something very common in movies these days where shocking the audience becomes harder. Wrecked seven Pontiacs in filming.

Not familiar with this film Betty, but I am familiar with Grant Bowler, mostly from 'Defiance', 'Atlas Shrugged', and an old Aussie show I'm watching presently called 'Blue Heelers.' Thanks for sharing. rlc
