Tornado a Fúria

I remember watching this movie as a kid and loving it. I was obsessed with it at the times and me and my friend even got a thermos and put coffee in it and acted to make sure there were no cyclones on the way (I live in Australia).

With that being said though, it's not the greatest movie. A typical TV Movie attempting to do something that usually on a big budget can do well (disaster movies)- it has been done much better in Twister and even that crappy movie with Eric Roberts.

If you are bored and need something to waste your time and this is on, then by all means check it out. But don't go out of your way to.

As I prepared to watch this film, I expected a cheap spin-off of that "OTHER" block-buster tornado movie. But I was pleasantly suprised and proven wrong. GRANTED, this made-for-television doesn't have the same budget as the Hollywood feature, but it does a GREAT job of story-telling and creating likeable characters. It even has cool special effects considering it was a television film. It was good to see John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard's) again, even though his acting hasn't improved much. It is the break-out performance of Devon Sawa which carries this family-thriller, he has a natural talent that could bring him to greater things, keep watching for him in future projects. I was also impressed with it's ability to remain a FAMILY film without dipping into profanity and sex, yet still have it's fair share of thrills and tense moments. This is a good movie that is worth your time and rental fee. You can invite you parents over and let the kids stay up for this one. Good Job FAMILY CHANNEL, we salute you!

Ok. Sorry, but those people who praised this movie with their comments must have seen a different movie, because this movie was sad. The acting was horrible, the actions the characters took were ludicrous, the special effects were the worst I have ever seen, and I mean EVER. It looks as tho all of the tornado scenes were filmed with the actors in one place, while the horrible SFX moved around them. They were just so horrible. It is a cheap rip off of bigger movies like Twister....and I keep asking myself...why do they even make movies like this? It's like going out with a camcorder and making a ten minute movie...it serves just as much purpose as this load of crap. By the way...when the dad is driving the truck...how on earth did his foot get "stuck" on the gas when he got knocked out? Impossible. That scene had to be the worst....fake. .05/10

When I first watched Night of the Twisters I was a much a younger person and it made an impact on me. Now that I'm older, I find myself still enjoying this movie.

Yes, it can be silly and predictable but I truly enjoyed it. It does help to know that the "theme" was true and the tornado outbreak was real.

The account of the family was a bit hokey but I like the characters.

I guess I'm not as jaded as some and just enjoy a good family movie once in awhile. If you simply accept the movie for what it is and aren't expecting an Oscar winner, I think you'll enjoy it.

A lot of people feel this movie is just a knock off of 'Twister', I would beg to differ. The real plot deals with the relationship between the teenage step son, and his step father. The storm is more the random element that brings them closer together.

I won't outline the plot, because it's already been done. However,I like this movie because it's more about the people, than the storm. So, it's not just another disaster flick. It has more heart then 'Twister'.

I like 'Twister' too, but in a different way. I try not to criticize something for being what it's not. So, I don't compare the two to each other. If you like movies that have heart, I think you'll like this one.
