Nature Unleashed: Volcano

Any volcano movie would have lava that would decimate anything touched. But The Volcano Disaster says "No!" to that. The lava in here is completely natural and not just shows real lava repeatedly, but also shows very runny sentient lava with almost a mind of it's own. And no movie would give someone the power to control a volcano's rage. You've never saw lava better than this. The fear of volcanoes is back. When a girl is forced given the power of her mother's volcanic spirit which erupts into life soon after the danger limit has exceeded, a young Italian volcanologist suspects disaster when a dormant volcano shows signs of reactivation and must save the town before danger exceeds past the limit. Join Chris William Martin on his quest to save the town from his deceased wife who now wants revenge on the town that saw her as an outcast. Lava has never been this hot so don't miss the action. You'll thank the director for this action packed movie with a sentient volcano, but watch your house. You may just find lava living underneath it. Who knew volcanoes were sentient? No one. You'll have a blast. Just don't let that blast be your bathroom sink or you'll have a meltdown.

The idea isn't bad and it could have been a better movie had they picked some Italian actors to play the Italian people. Most of the actors use a very bad Italian accent and their Italian is awful and not authentic. Also the concept is good but it took it too far once the priests started trying to exorcize Angela.. then it got crazy weird to the point that i felt like I was watching 2 different movies.. the doctor pronouncing Angela dead when her chest is clearly moving up and down .. ugh.. it jumped the shark once that happened!

With a title like Nature Unleashed Volcano and watching the first few minutes of the movie, you'd think you're in store for a volcano-chasing action movie as in Twisters with a chatty flirty perilous couple getting themselves into trouble all over the place.

But things take a sharp turn quite quickly, and volcano photographer Russell returns to his deceased wife's Italy hometown to research her childhood.

Eerily enchanted by a mysterious mute girl vaguely similar in appearance with his deceased wife, Russell makes inquiries with the locals. The head of monastery tells Russell in no uncertain terms to stay clear of devilish girl Angela.

So what does Russell do? THE EXACT OPPOSITE. He becomes literally obsessed with the girl, chasing her all over town, following her into the most potentially comprising quarters - mind you, she's a minor or not much older than a minor - and there he is grabbing her by the shoulders in the depth of a cave.

Of course, Russell continues to ignore everyone's warnings, and the more bizarre Angela acts, oddly, the more Russell is drawn toward her and her cryptic drawings.

For a stretch of the movie, the movie goes full-on The Exorcist. The title frankly does the movie little justice. The movie would have more aptly been titled "The Devil's Prophet" or "The Devil's Volcano."

To the movie's credit, there is a substantial amount of credible action and effects, as well as a large cast of extras, many of whom were falling to the ground on fire - all surprisingly engaging for a movie seemingly of such low budget.

Evocative of Obsession (1976) in many respects, you do wonder if there's a huge twist to be had, or whether Angela and her mom actually were struck by lightning or perhaps there was some foul play from the monastery. But no. Perhaps that would have been too clever.

In the end, frankly, it's a little hard to believe Russell didn't scoop adorable misunderstood Angela up and "take her back to the States" where he could "give her the beautiful life she deserves"...considering how he literally risked his life multiple times to keep her out of harm's way.

That aftermath would have made for an interesting movie.

The Volcano Disaster follows a man named Russel Woods, who, after losing his wife, goes to a small Italian village where his wife grew up.

However, all is not well in Italy. He meets a girl who had a near death experience on the same day that his wife died, and has been mute ever since. He investigates, and eventually discovered that this girl has been communicating with spirits, and in trying to warn the town of an unfortunate disaster.

This film, in my opinion, is actually very good. The plot kept me guessing, plot twists were almost everywhere, and the acting was decent. The only real complaint that I had was that the special effects could have been better, but they get the job done, and any problems came from a low budget more than from a bad director.

Overall, a very good film, highly recommended.

This is a great movie Despite the bad comments from some reviewers It's a smart movie It's a well put together movie It's a movie that will appeal to the smart moviegoer Not the meat head moviegoer who justs want gun fights car chasers bombs going off and half naked chicks If you read the reviews on here you will see it is indeed mixed Their are people who are saying this movie is dull boring stupid And their are people saying it is great terrific outstanding Well it is easy to see which are the smart moviegoers And which are the meat heads I for one liked this movie but i'm a smart moviegoer I like a great story that makes you think Is it the greatest movie ever made no But it's not the worst i liked this movie And i liked it that much i went out and grabbed it form JB HiFI So it in my opinion is a great movie

Now onto the movie what is it about

A journalist Russell Woods life is destroyed When his wife is killed while they are reporting on a Volcano eruption After the tragic loss of his wife Russell decides to try to movie on He goes to his wife's place of birth In order to close that chapter of his life But once there Russell soon realizes he is being followed Followed by a strange girl named Angela A girl who has not spoken since an accident yrs ago Russell believes that this girl is connected to him In what way he does not know The religious towns people believe that Angela is evil Russell on the other soon starts to believe Angela Is in some way connected to his wife's tragic Death But Russell soon finds out that bigger events are unfolding And something supernatural has come to this religious town And Angela is the Key to it All

In my opinion This is a movie that Women would like more then most Men You see sadly most men fall into the meat head moviegoer space Not all men there are some like me that like a non meat head movie But most men fall into the meat head space But 90% of women like a good thinking movie with a touching story This is that kind of movie and for that I think women will like this movie more
