Au coeur de la tornade

As bad as it gets. The tornado cgi is the WORST ive ever seen. The graphics look like a 12 year old whipped it up on his laptop. Embarrassingly bad. This movie has NOTHING to do with Christmas at All!!! Horrible ......everything. tornadoes that move 90 miles an hour. Blue skies 2 minutes before a tornado hits , then 2 minutes after it hits and moves on, its blue skies and sun again.. horrendous movie making. Multiple tornadoes hitting every half hour in the same place throughout this movie. How does this crap get made? God awful!!!!!

OK. I have to admit I did not sit there and suffer through the whole thing like my wife did, but, the amount I did see was bad enough. The fake fire, the (what appeared to be nuclear power plant) in Fort Worth. This movie was just lousy. I don't know where they got the palm trees. I've never seen them here. Also at the tail end (SPOILER ALERT) the main character and his family swimming (in December) in their unheated outdoor pool and running around in bikinis and bathing suits in north Texas. Excuse me. It's never warm enough in December to run around like that and have a cook-out. Anyway if you like B-grade movies with lousy acting etc. go for it.

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.

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.

The opening title is "Christams Twister" you know you are in trouble. I could not believe the title was spelled wrong! And it just got worse from there!
