Once again, we get a movie made by Canadian filmmakers that doesn't take place in Canada but instead the United States. Actually, given that distinctly Canadian movies tend to be boring arty stuff, I don't blame these filmmakers for trying to pass this off as an American movie. Anyway, I guess I found a few positive things in this movie. The general production values look decent - plenty of extras in the backgrounds, well-lit scenes, and looking like some decent money was spent at some point. Plus, it's hard to totally knock a movie that has the guts to not only kill kids, but dogs as well. But that's about all I found positive about this movie. Most of the computer generated effects look TERRIBLE, for one thing. The script is filled with familiar stuff like a stubborn mayor who won't listen to those who know the real danger. And calling this movie "Tornado Terror" is odd, seeing that the tornadoes only appear at the beginning and just before the end, leaving a long, dull, middle section. Move along, folks, there's nothing here you haven't seen before (and better.)
