ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Leofwine_draca 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.

Rico Dimensions 'Extreme'... Pffffff... More like Dimensions Pussy Whipped!5.9 isn't a good score on here anyhow, but that's grossly overrated for this terrible movie!!You can't even call it a B Movie, even Z would be an overstatement......The story sucks, the acting sucks, the gore scene are absurdly disappointing for a so- called 'extreme' movie, & nothing happens till 1 hour in when the movie is only 1 hour & 20 minutes long in the first place!The only win about this movie is the French chick is hot...Seriously, don't listen to the positive reviews on here, I am myself an avid horror fan too, & I also love & appreciate B movies, but this flick is just awful... THE END!

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.

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.
