jadavix "Storm Warning" is a tedious waste of time, even for hardcore horror fans.The only cool gore scene happens with such a ridiculous set up that you may be too distracted to enjoy it, but anyway, why sit through an hour and twenty minutes of boring garbage just to get to the one scene when it's surely available as an animated gif?The set up is the usual garbage about two yuppies who get lost, find themselves in a ramshackle old house and let themselves in. The house belongs to some moronic rednecks who aren't too happy at having their privacy invaded.We've seen this all before, so why do we need the endless scenes where the yuppies are menaced by the rednecks? I don't mean tortured or physically harmed, I mean just simply scared by their off-colour dialogue and unstable behaviour. These characters aren't scary. They're annoying. Their behaviour isn't frightening, it's irritating.The cool gore scene I described earlier involves the yuppie woman suddenly becoming McGuyver and setting a ridiculous trap that couldn't possibly work even if she were someone with some degree of technical expertise, rather than a yuppie artist from the city.The payoff, indeed, is something to see.Google it.
Woodyanders Wimpy lawyer Rob (affable Robert Taylor) and his resourceful French artist wife Pia (a winningly spunky portrayal by the gorgeous Nadia Fares) are a young couple who are forced to land their sailboat on a remote island due to a storm. The duo run afoul of a vicious family of crude hicks that reside on said island. Director Jamie Blanks relates the gripping story at a brisk pace, maintains a hard gritty tone throughout, and adeptly builds plenty of raw'n'rattling go-for-the-throat suspense that escalates to a nerve-frying fever pitch in the harsh'n'harrowing last third. Everett De Roche's tight script neatly explores the vehement disdain that boorish rural lower class folks feel towards affluent and arrogant upper class yuppies from the city. Taylor and Fares make for appealing leads. David Lyons as the sadistic Jimmy, Matthew Wilkinson as the simian Brett, and especially John Bumpton as fearsome and glowering brute patriarch Poppy register strongly as frighteningly convincing redneck psycho degenerates. The startling outbursts of savage, gruesome, and often perversely inventive violence pack a ferocious punch to the gut. The pulsating score by Blanks hits the heart-racing spot. Karl von Moller's sumptuous widescreen cinematography offers lots of breathtaking shots of the beautiful ocean and sprawling countryside. The terse 84 minute running time ensures that this movie never becomes tedious or overstays its welcome. A worthy shocker.
nightwatch4773 Excellent cinematography, amazing sets, terrific acting and a pace that goes right for the juggler vein. I love backwoods/survival type horror especially films from foreign countries like Australia. I think this film is tantamount or even slightly better than wolf creek. Storm Warning is extremely graphic and disturbing but it picks its spots nicely and doesn't feel gratuitous. Our backwoods family is kick-ass bad and just wait until papa is introduced, the apples don't fall far from the tree to say the least. Anyway anyone who states that realistic disturbing horror films are a thing of the past, tell them to check out storm warning. I am sure they will change their mind.
GC_MaxProductions Refreshing opening scenes added depth and setting for the terror to come, Storm Warning felt well acted and had some nicely balanced moments where the air was tense. At no time did it seem that anyone was out of character or over the top, in fact it was a little bit of the opposite where you felt the villains were being played down slightly on their own turf. The gore aspect was well dressed and distributed, definitely worth the wait with more than one eyebrow raising moment, one of which was totally original at the time of production. To conclude, unlike many other horror films, this film has a plot with a backbone which remains unbroken, there's gore and then there's gore with meaning.
