Fantastic!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have seen worse than Twister Valley, but I did think that it was an awful movie with little if anything to redeem it. Visually, once you get past the choppy editing and the dully-lit production values, what really sank Twister Valley were the tornado effects, which are terribly cheap in look and perhaps even the worst tornado effects I've seen. The music fails to give any life or even tension to the film, likewise with the muffled sound effects. Add to that clichéd characters(even for Lifetime), stilted writing and a story that is predictable and maudlin and you have a furthermore bad movie. But the lack of atmosphere, suspense or tension also hindered it, as well as the acting, which is unnatural and not even showing any real sense of fright or any other emotion to what's happening. All in all, awful. 2/10 Bethany Cox

WOW!.. from the get go u will think.... "what the.." then... "get off n run stupid!..." then.. "just grab her little butt n run!!..." THEN......"why the hell am I still watching this?!.." The way the storm came over the trees WITHOUT displacing them in any kind of way is laughable! Maybe this is a comedy... Who knows.I do know this movie is lame from the beginning. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with this movie. I assume this is a 'foot in the door' for some new young actors to get their face out there or for some desperate actor taking on whatever role they can to grab some money to make ends meet.. Cause DAMN!!! really???!!XP

I am a tornado buff and enjoy a good storm movie. While a bit creaky, "Twister" pulled it off rather well. Sorry to say, this film is not as nearly as entertaining or believable. In fact, it is dangerously close to being absurd in its presentation of tornado activity; the film would have you believe that tornadoes just creep up on you, like wild beasts, out of nowhere. There is almost no tension or anticipation in the movie; the characters all seem to be on some type of mood altering drug. And to add to the torture, it is insultingly manipulative of the audience's emotional response to tragedies caused by such storms, serving up a healthy portion of sloppy mendacity. Stay out of the way of this one.

I can't say that this film is actually "awful." It's just not very good. There's not as much action as you might expect and the CGI tornadoes are pretty weak. (Everybody stands around in bright sunlight and a little wind comes up. The next thing you know, a tornado funnel that appears to be about 20' across just drops down into the meadow and pulls somebody away...very slowly. There's no sense of collateral damage, ferocious winds, or even darkened skies. No rain, hail, or flying debris. It's sort of a four-year-old's conception of a tornado.)This would be bad enough, but the "family story" side of it is also pretty maudlin. I don't know who originally broadcast this, but I'm guessing it was the Hallmark Channel. Absolutely no bite to it.Definitely not worth your time.
