BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

redrobin62-321-207311 Very few films live up to their billing as being truly graphic and gory, but for movies that do, like "A l'interieur," "Haute Tension," "Martyrs," and now "Storm Warning," you're sure to have an experience well worth your investment in time. I knew very little going into "Storm Warning" other than it was about a yuppie couple getting stranded somewhere in the boondocks and their eventual fight for survival. The couple in question, interesting, seemed like a mismatched pair because the husband has the spine of a jellyfish. At the end of this flick I actually blurted out "Wow!" because everything fell into place - the acting, the violence, the direction and the loud, driving musical score. It was a very intense experience and definitely worthy of the moniker "Dimension Extreme."Note to self: whatever you do in life, don't buy a pitbull.

Claudio Carvalho The lawyer Rob (Robert Taylor) and his French wife Pia (Nadia Farès) rent a small motor boat to spend the day fishing at the sea. In the end of the day, Rob decides to steer the boat through marsh islands but they become lost and stranded while a storm is coming.Rob decides to walk with Pia to find a shelter and they reach a dilapidated house with no one home. Rob also finds a decrepit greenhouse with a plantation of marijuana. Out of the blue, three rednecks arrive in the place and the abusive and deranged brothers Jimmy (David Lyons) and Brett (Mathew Wilkinson) point shotguns to them and torture Rob and Pia while their father "Poppy" (John Brumpton) goes to his room to rest. The couple soon realizes that Pia will be raped by the sadistic and they will be killed after and they decide to fight back."Storm Warning" is a brutal and gore slasher with an unoriginal storyline that surprisingly works well, supported by great direction and performances and excellent cinematography, special effects and camera work. The decision of Pia, when she learns that she will be raped by the rednecks, is the best moment of this highly recommended film. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Aviso de Tempestade" ("Storm Warning")

JB Beverley Before WWIII erupts: THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION.. Nothing more than that. In an age where movies feature zero character development, a very thin plot, and a kill every three minutes.. I was pleasantly surprised to find Storm Warning a more traditional and fun movie to watch. I have heard the comparisons: "Another Wolf Creek" - WRONG. This film has a much more rich plot than Wolf Creek, and has a completely different flow and style."Another Texas Chainsaw Rip Off" - UNFAIR STATEMENT. This film is NOTHING like TCM. The backwoods loonies are not half-retarded inbred yokels, rather some sadistic fellows who have been in the brush for a bit too long. "Boring" - Compared to what? This film is constantly moving.. Granted, we've all seen the "innocent couple / group of people lost in the woods" set up before. True enough.. HOWEVER, the plot specifics are original (by today's standards) and the writing is superb. The lighting and cinematography are exceptional, and the acting and direction of the film are tip-top.. Especially given the admitted low budget. I think that modern horror fans who are used to a kill every three minutes will hate this film due to the lack of gratuitous splatter. However the kills that are featured are ALL brutal and unique. I'd prefer a movie with some good build up and powerful turns over a film that is just mindless gore any day.. To see the same people who praised the Friday the 13th remake bashing this film is laughable.. So in detail, here is my assessment:The Plot: We've seen it before.. City folk trying to fight off crazed hillbillies. Nothing new here. However, the specifics of the story, the characters, and the build-up are very realistic and human... not formulaic and tired. I had no trouble staying locked into the story.. and despite a hint of predictability, the film delivers.. I love the fact that had the city-folk not tampered with the house (nor the shed) that it's implied they might have been left alone. The Writing: This story moves, and the dialog is very well-crafted. Everett De Roche did a phenomenal job making the story-line believable and realistic. The Acting: The actors all deliver. Period. No weak links in my opinion. I have heard people talk trash about both Nadia Farès and Robert Taylor's performance.. especially the latter. However, given the types of people they are supposed to be, the delivery comes off as very real and true to form. Personally, I think that they both gave strong performances, and stayed true to the nature of their characters. Also, I must say that David Lyons won me over as an actor. That guy steals the show, and his performance alone is worth watching the film. I haven't seen an actor with that much physical command in a while, and his performance was a pleasant surprise. The Cinematography: This film was beyond "well shot", especially with budget constraints.. I was highly impressed with the movement and the camera angles.. Very smooth and very bold. I did notice a couple repeat shots.. one of which is used both backwards and forwards within a couple minutes of one-another.. but it doesn't take away from how wonderfully filmed this movie is. The Directing: Personally, I think this is Jamie Blanks' best work to date (that I have seen), and I will be keeping an eye out for future films by this very talented director. Personally, I enjoyed this film way more than the (more modern and trendy-styled) Urban Legend. I must also commend the tasteful use of CGI. I am so sick of computer-based shots that insult my intelligence.. and the use of CGI in this film (while present) is very tastefully done. For the older, more old school horror fans, this film is a breath of fresh air. I am extremely picky about horror films.. Even a bit snobby. I am not easily impressed, and this film is impressive. It is rare to find a modestly budgeted film that has solid writing, directing, acting, and flow... and Storm Warning delivers.. This film is anything but "another Wolf Creek", and it is surely no TCM.. Although, I did enjoy the nod to TCM when Poppy meets the hidden bottle. The sound effect was an eerie reminder of the original TCM. Beyond that, this film stands in a class of it's own. Nicely done.

atinder (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
