Might've worked better as a 45 stint than as a feature film

(1984) Impulse THRILLER

A small earthquake happens distilling a small little town called Sutcliffe creating a stir. Then the next scene has a mother calling her daughter Jennifer (Meg Tilly) while living on a big city, talks a bunch of nonsense before she commits suicide by shooting herself. After learning that her mother survived and is in critical care, Jennifer and her boyfriend Stuart (Tim Matheson)then come back to the town for a visit to see how the mother is holding up. But as the film is progressing, more and more people start to act erratic as well with suicidal tendencies! The real problem is that it states the story instead of making something from it, such as how come it took them this long to discover something has been tainted? Or why it had to take a couple of newcomers to find out what the problem is? It has good intentions, but it doesn't go nowhere, for viewers are able to know what the problem is way before the characters do themselves making the overall experience into a predictable one, and rather pointless which might've worked as a 45 minute stint than it would be as a feature film!
