STORM
WARNING
on DVD February 5, 2008
STORM WARNING is a gruesome suspense thriller jam packed with enough guts and
gore to keep the modern horror enthusiast satisfied. The story line progresses
in and out with suspenseful scenes but the initial motives of the characters
seem unclear. The spastic unpredictable behaviors of the antagonist drive the
ambiguous action, keeping the suspense true until the very end.
With the movie approximately 84 minutes in length it kept me absorbed until the
very conclusion. Although STORM WARNING starts up rather slow it continues on
like an out of control roller coaster ride. No overdrawn subplots or resolution
scenes here, just suspense, blood and more blood. Whether your looking for a
"Jumpy" thriller or a chance to marvel at some artistically horrific
special effects this movie is for you.
RATING: Recommend.
The special features portion of the DVD offers the Director's, Jaime Blanks,
"talk through" during the film. Beneficial for those interested in the
gruesome mind behind the scenes.
