Just watch it!

I don't normally leave reviews, but I had to on this one. Killer Tumbleweeds? Really? As soon as it started, I could see that there was virtually "no budget" for this film, but I have to say I enjoyed it. I wouldn't put it on a "must see" list. Not even close, but it was fun seeing so many people who were not really top tier actors (or actors at all) having a good time making this film. That made it worth the watch - at least to me. There were times when they were filming and you could see people passing by looking at them more than likely unaware that they were filming a movie. I gave it an 8 because it was fun. That's all. Fun.

A Train Wreck

This movie is like a train wreck. You can't help slowing down and staring at it until it fades off into the distance.

In my book of the worst movies ever made this one just pushed Plan 9 From Outer Space out of first place.

So why am I giving it 10 stars? Because it's a hoot, that's why. And I love Plan 9 From Outer Space, too.

The action is filmed in a quasi-documentary style reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project. Shaky camera work, ordinary people moving the story along.

The movie contains tropes from other genres. Like the prison road gang scene.

The news reporting throughout the movie harks back to the Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast.

Turn off your brain and watch it for fun.

Now that Amazon Prime Video is airing it, it's likely to also become a cult classic.

I love this movie

Does that make it "good"? If a piece of artwork or musical performance moves you to tears, does that give it value? I say yes. This movie is, in an arbitrary sense, not a particularly good film, per se. It doesn't matter, because I love it. I personally know the men who made it and live in one of the places it was shot. This film is a love story to Middle America, thank you McCain Brothers. Bravo. If you have lived for years in Middle America, don't be surprised if you love it, too. The man playing the Sheriff was the local weatherman for like two decades in my home town, and most of us love him, too. Again, Bravo.

A real tumbler

Obviously an attempt at tongue-in-cheek, with the tumbleweeds acting as a cheap stand-in for an actual threat, this appears to have been fun practice for news anchors attempting to act. Mostly presented with the perspective as if you're watching a docu-drama on the current tumbleweed crisis on an independent cable channel (complete with mock commercials) that frequently interrupts with news updates about the current tumbleweed crisis. The most entertaining footage is of the actual field maintenance.

Trivia: Tumbleweeds were first reported in the United States around 1877 in South Dakota, apparently transported in flax seed imported by Ukrainian farmers.

Wow

This movie was clearly made by a group of people that love to make films but have no idea how to actually make films. Painful to watch at times but does have a few laugh out loud moments mostly due to the horrendous acting. RiffTrax needs to get ahold of this movie if they haven't already. I gave it two stars only because I feel bad for the people that were giving it their all. It probably didn't take long to make the film because it's pretty obvious that most of the scenes were filmed in just one take. Even the subtitles are done poorly with incorrect sentences puts the icing on the cake. All things being said I'm playing on rewatching it soon.

Curiosidades
Made for virtually no money, this film was created by the McCain Brothers, who called in favors from friends, actor buddies and news reporters around the world, they had met on their travels as both actors and newsmen, themselves.

The introduction states, "For thousands of years tumbleweeds have roamed freely throughout the great plains of middle America..." In reality, tumbleweeds were first reported in the United States around 1877 in South Dakota, apparently transported in flax seed imported by Ukrainian farmers.
