Bad Impulse
In the aftermath of a traumatic event, a suburban husband and father buys a cutting edge home security system, only to find that it slowly destroys that which he most wants to protect.
Why it matters
A tense domestic thriller that twists the invasion-of-privacy trope into a modern nightmare of technology and trust.
- A sharp meditation on surveillance anxiety that feels ripped from today’s headlines, not just horror clichés.
- Suburban dread meets tech paranoia—think The 'Black Mirror' episode you didn’t see coming in your own living room.
- Strong lead performance anchors the slow burn, making the unraveling feel personal and unsettling.
- Practical effects and tight direction keep the suspense grounded without drowning in cheap jump scares.
