Christmas Twister

You know it's going to suck, when the title is spelled wrong. "Christams Twister". It only got worse from there.

Christmas Twister 🌪 (2012) is a disaster film currently available on Tubi. The story follows a family that recently moved to Texas. The mother is a local news reporter, and the father is a storm chaser with a tarnished reputation after a failed storm prediction led to an unnecessary town evacuation. When he tries to warn people about an incoming series of devastating storms, no one-including his wife-believes him. But as the storms begin wreaking havoc, it's only a matter of time before everyone takes notice.

Directed by Peter Sullivan (High School Possession), the movie stars Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers), Victoria Pratt (Journey to the Center of the Earth), Richard Burgi (The Green Inferno), and Madelyn Deutch (Bad Company).

This film marks a rare appearance by Casper Van Dien, who hasn't been in many leading roles since Starship Troopers-and it's easy to see why. His performance here is abysmal, and the rest of the cast doesn't fare much better. The script is poorly written, and the delivery of both dialogue and scenarios feels forced and awkward. The twisters lack intensity, though the aftermath scenes depicting destruction are decent. There are a couple of surprisingly good kill scenes, but even that can't save this trainwreck.

Overall, Christmas Twister feels like a low-budget made-for-TV Lifetime movie you'd likely switch off after 15 minutes. I'd rate it 2.5/10 and recommend skipping it.

I don't understand the low ratings... come on! It's an adventure for the whole family, with (bad CGI) tornadoes, a father and a daughter on the road and a mild disaster scenario!

You don't watch a movie like this expecting a masterpiece, you watch it to enjoy a hour and something of easy fun.

Where to start? A guy holds the door shut with a piece of rope while the tornado roars outside.lol Cars are being lifted into the air but the storage shed they are in suffers no damage at all. Then heres the real kicker-as the opening title comes across the screen in big 3d like the word christmas is spelled CHRISTSAM TWISTER.LOL I KID YOU NOT they couldnt even get the correct spelling on screen.

So Awful! I don't understand why movies like this are even made,unless it is for comical relief! HORRIBLE Acting, terrible storyline, and obvious flaws that a toddler could recognize. A News station in Texas,does not want to issue a tornado warning after 3 tornadoes already hit because they don't want to cause an uproar? The tornado hits a mall and there is damage inside from what would look like an explosion but yet all walls/windows are in tact and all cars are perfectly parked outside. Nobody in Texas ever recognizes the weather patterns of a tornado or sees the Twister heading right at them until its about 30 feet in front of them. And why is the basement a total disaster zone but yet not a single building is ever destroyed when the F6 tornado runs right through it? The only reason I gave it two stars is because I laughed my butt off at how bad it was! I would have thought I was watching a Scary Movie Spoof if the actors weren't trying so hard to be serious.
