Fella_shibby There is plenty of atmosphere, brutal violence, tension and thrills for everyone and the hyped up soundtrack keeps things moving along nicely. The cinematography is breathtaking, the camera work is exceptional, and the lighting is expertly used to create many different moods. Nadia Fares (The crimson rivers, War) who really sells this movie though. Her characters transition throughout Storm Warning is totally believable and the way in which her character eventually fights back leads to some brilliant scenes that will both surprise and entertain you. Watch out for the scene/decision of Pia, when she learns that she will be raped. Storm Warning is extremely graphic and disturbing. This movie is an awesome thriller with superb acting. It is very atmospheric and is never a dull moment. A brutal survival backwoods thriller. Directed by Jamie Blanks (Urban legend, Valentine).
Nitzan Havoc Oh my what a rush!! As a devout Horror fan, I've spent the past few months sort of "exploring", trying to enrich my knowledge and expand my "database" of Horror films and sub-genres. Storm Warning was definitely one of the better experiences I've had doing so.We started off with Rob (Robert Taylor), a usual macho guy who doesn't sound like he's wrong even when he's wrong, and his French girlfriend Pia (Nadia Fares), a usual kinda spoiled and slightly whiny girl. When their boat got stuck after they had got lost (not because of Rob's poor naval and navigation skills, heavens forbid, but because of many other reasons!) and Pia complained that she was cold and tired, they found a farm and hoped to rely on the residents' hospitality and trouble them for a phone call, maybe even a ride. These hopes were shattered very soon when they realized the people who lived in that farm were sadistic redneck crooked hicks (imagine the Christian cannibals from Judge Dredd who raised Marijuana for a living.Soon enough afterwords the rednecks started tormenting and torturing the couple in a few ways going from bad to worse (great screen writing!), and we witnessed a very pleasant surprise when Pia turned out to be the courageous resourceful one and Rob (injured by the hicks) turned out to be quite helpless and little more than a liability. It seemed the two weren't going to go down without a fight, and what a fight it was!Storm Warning is a cleverly written and directed story of a struggle to survive. Think "Wolf Creek" meets "I'll Spit On Your Grave". The acting is great, especially actors David Lyons, Mathew Wilkinson and John Brumpton who play the three hicks. The film isn't without gore scenes, but they aren't a pointless vulgar display of special effects budget, but actually help and go well with the plot. If in the beginning the audience fears for the couple's lives and well-being, they later feel the despair and hopelessness of the couple's situation, and finally the thrill of battle as the couple helplessly attempt to defend themselves against all odds.All in all - I enjoyed every second of the film, ever scene and every small nuance. If you don't scare/scar easyly and don't mind a lot of blood and very disturbing scenes - I'd highly recommend it!
Prashant Modgill 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
FlashCallahan On a weekend boating excursion, husband and wife, Rob and Pia become lost and end up in the most unlikely place, a thick brush filled marsh, on an island in the middle of nowhere.With their boat in disarray, darkness coming on, and a heavy thunderstorm starting up, their only solution is to look for help or seek shelter of some kind.They finally come across a decrepit house and barn with no one home. However, there are definite signs of the house being inhabited, and the enormous crop of marijuana in the barn suggests the homeowners may not welcome their presence.Even worse, there is no telephone or means of communication to the outside world.But when the deranged, redneck owners, Brett, Jimmy and their even more sadistic father Poppy return, Rob and Pia realise a fear far beyond anything they have ever known....Razors where they shouldn't be, dogs eating genitals, welcome to the world of Storm Warning, a film i only wanted to watch because Urban Legend was a good genre movie.This film has been done a thousand times before, think of the Texas chainsaw massacre meets wolf creek with Ozploitation, and then your nearly there.The cast put in good performances, but it's unoriginal and uninspiring.
