Killer Flood: The Day the Dam Broke

i though this film was okay.i din't think it was great.it was a bit too slow for my taste.lots of drama,but not very much action until close to the end of the film.this movie was basically a dramatic film,with the payoff,if you can call it that,not until near the end.to me,the scenes of the dam bursting and the water flooding the town,were okay,but much too brief.the film itself is done okay,the acting is decent,but it just didn't do it for me,in the long run.think it had something to do with the fact that there was very little suspense or tension built through the whole movie.at least that's what i think.the other factor is that i had just recently watched '10.5' and its sequel '10.5:Apocalypse'.these are 2 big budget "event movies,which,in my opinion, are a very hard act to follow,in terms of special effects and scenes of destruction.as a result,i have to rate Killer Flood:the Day the Damn Broke at 4/10

Killer Flood is a great vehicle for Joe Lando. There's action, love, and adventure, all of which are fun to watch him do.. I think the special effects were fine. I would love to see the progression of the characters from this story in future films.

I might be easy to please but I found this to be an okay film. Being a fan of the 'Disaster film' I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the special effects. However let us be honest the plot as with most disaster movies is thus. One person sees the disaster coming and the rest do not. His/her personal life is a mess but the disaster does bring the family closer together. I know their are some of you that are reaching for the sick bag, but hey that is the formula for disaster movies so get used to it. At least in this movie we did not have the cute children caught up in the disaster. I am probably a romantic so if the right guy gets the girl and the bad guy gets his just desserts then I am happy and that was I got with this film. The important question? Is this film good enough for my DVD collection ( that is assuming it was available)? yes but only at a real bargain price.

I suppose I SHOULD include a -spoiler warning-.

First off, I lived in Rutland for nine years (taking care of an elderly parent).

It's really an awful town. Calling it the vermin infested crotch of New England would not be too unkind.

So with every Edgewood/Porchlight film that destroyed Rutland shown on PAX-TV, I was cheering.

But this film, Jeebus! There's no place anywhere NEAR Rutland where you could put a dam, OR the reservoir that would back up behind the dam.

This is the kind of film that Mystery Science Theater 3000 would have brutally eviscerated. The effects were pathetic, as was the story and acting.

All in all, just don't even bother.

And to the gentleman in the U.K., really, you should have broken the disk in half before you binned it. There's a slight chance the dustman might have spotted it, thought to himself, "My lucky day! A free movie!" brought it home, viewed it, and then, realizing he was that much closer to the grave, bitterly regretting losing that 90 minutes of his life, 90 minutes he will never get back and has now sworn vengeance upon the person who binned that DVD.

Yeah, it's THAT BAD!

This is one of those made-for-TV B movies that is so awful it kind of endears.

Bad acting, predictable script and cheesy special effects that were pretty much some of the cheapest tat seen make you have to keep watching to see if it gets any better.

It doesn't!
