Watch Storm Warning For Free

That was an excellent one.

Good concept, poorly executed.

An Exercise In Nonsense

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

STORM WARNING is a film with the cards stacked against it. The plot, about a couple of innocent travellers falling foul of some psycho rednecks in the middle of nowhere, has literally been done to death so many times that just reading it on the back of the box made me yawn. Director Jamie Blanks was only known for directing a couple of pretty lame Hollywood horrors, URBAN LEGEND and VALENTINE, so he didn't seem to be the ideal guy to make a full-throttle horror/thriller combo. Plus it's a low budget movie with no notable actors. Indications were that this film was going to be dire.While I can't say that it blew me away, I will say this: it kept me watching. This is a film all about the suspense and tension which is slowly racked up over a ponderously paced first half before letting rip towards the climax. Yes, it's predictable, with a tired, seen-it-all-before air to it. There are elements of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes here, along with the sub-genre of 'home horrors' in which innocents are besieged in their homes by psycho gangs (the last one I watched was the execrable FUNNY GAMES U.S., so probably anything I saw afterwards would look good by comparison). But this isn't a film about plot or dialogue. It's a raw, survival-horror with a visceral edge.The characters intrigued me. French heroine Nadia Fares is another in a long line of tough, take-no-prisoners female fighters in the vein of Ellen Ripley, and watching her transform from timid victim into hammer-wielding killer is a plot of fun. She's saddled with a boring husband and up against three slimy redneck characters whose idea of fun is to kill travellers and steal their cars, rape pretty women, and sometimes enjoy a bit of 'long pig'. A lot of the suspense is built up through taut dialogue scenes, which made more of an impact on me than the usual torture-gore style employed by most horror makers today.But then the film reaches its home run, and Fares starts fighting back. It then turns gory. Very gory. Skin-ripping, intestine-scattering gory, completely over the top. It works, because the film-makers invite us to laugh along with the gore. Fares sets up some wicked traps to assail her victims with, and watching them get their just desserts is a matter of high entertainment. I defy anyone not to clap with joy come the last-reel denouement and another splattery death for one of the bad guys. In the end, this is a fine film, a breath of fresh air in a very tired genre. Jamie Blanks' direction is spot on, and the cast really get into it. The gore effects are very well handled and this doesn't leave a bad taste in the mouth like many grisly horrors these days. It may not be terrifying or disturbing like WOLF CREEK, but it is suspenseful, and it is a lot of fun. I recommend it.

I love this film!!! At first I was unsure of whether or not I'd warm to the characters, but wow, as soon as trouble set in I was hoping that they would survive. This film is brilliant; I was on the edge of my seat all the way through the film, wanting to fast forward to the end just to see if the couple survive! The gore takes a little while to set in, but there's a few hints of exploitation which keeps the film going until then. But when the gore sets in, it is intense!! In the last 40 minutes of the film it really explodes in to an intelligent, brutal tale of revenge and a woman's scorn!!You will not be disappointed if you stick this one out .. I promise you. The gory last 10 minutes (with the rottweiler) had me looking away briefly - and being thankful for being a woman - because it was just so gruesome. And I'm not new to this genre; I've watched far too many slasher, gore and horror films. This one was the first to really make me feel sick (and that's a positive comment!).In case you're wondering (these things are important to me) - the rottweiler doesn't die. You'll cheer him on too!I'm going to recommend this to others!!! For sure!

Mark my words, remember this. This movie i saw around 3 years ago and was totally blown away by it. I am a person who has seen Top 100 movies in every genre in nearly 30 languages around the world, but THIS was an amazing movie. I am writing a review about this because i forgot the name of the movie and couldn't remember it and found it after a scene i remembered from the movie and typing it in Google. NOW NOW NOW, about the movie. The film has gone genuinely funny accents (Real), genuine funny comments and sometimes terrifying. The acting is sublime. I consider this a new genre of horror as the situation turns on its head for some reason. This movie is a must must watch for any person who believe in a good cinema. Movie is brutal, rocking, amazing. Sound effects are crazily believable. Anyhow, 5.8, on IMDb, you gotta be kidding me. This is like Shawshank Redemption when it flopped, had a rating for 6 or 7 when i first saw Shawshank, now considered 2nd best EVER. I am not sure Storm Warning would be up there, but surely top 50. and mark my words. in the future this WILL be a CULT - CLASSIC

(Small spoiler)I start of with the plot Revolves around a couple that becomes lost in a massive storm and seek refuge at a nearby farmhouse, only to be captured by deranged killers.As two couple soon found out there lives are in danger,I felt sorry for them at first and cared for them until the women kills there dog after they were attacking her boyfriend, why kill the dog, what did the do dog to killed, after I did not care for them and I Wish she was killed, I hated her for killing a dog and I was killer side in this movie.There was not much else I can say about this movie as there wasn't much going on in this movie until the last ten minutes or so.And those scenes had some really funny gory deaths, After that the movie ended way too fast for me, I asked my self "it that it? 4 out of 10
