BAD IMPULSE is a US fantasy horror thriller in which a family undergoes violent personality changes after having a high-tech security system installed.

violence
In a scene of murder-suicide, a woman smothers her child off screen and beats her husband to death with a mallet; the actual blows are kept below frame. A video game character shoots people and slashes a man’s throat, creating blood spurts. There is also infrequent sight of bloodied dead bodies.
threat and horror
A man chases his wife through the house and attacks her.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’), Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘whore’, ‘puto’, ‘asshole’, ‘shit’ and ‘douche’.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A cop harasses a frightened teenage shoplifter and backs her into a changing room, implying off-screen sexual violence. A male bully verbally threatens a girl with sexual violence, without graphic detail.
suicide and self-harm
A teenager imagines scratching the top of her breast, creating a smear of blood, and later punches a mirror, leaving her knuckles bloody. We also see a dead body in the aftermath of a suicide.
additional issues
Teenagers share a joint while driving; the film does not endorse drug misuse. There is a scene of moderate sex, without nudity.
