Christmas Twister (2012 TV Movie)
3/10
It felt like a made for TV Lifetime movie you'd turn the channel on 15 minutes into it

Christmas Twister 🌪 (2012) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi and tells the tale of a family that just moved to Texas. The mother is a local news reporter and the father is a storm chaser of sorts. He was recently badly wrong about an anticipated storm that led to a town being evacuated with no need. When he cries wolf in Texas no one believes him, including his wife initially...but when a series of storms occur destroying everything in their wake it's bound to get someone's attention.

This movie is directed by Peter Sullivan (High School Possession) and 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).

So this movie stars Casper Van Dien who I honestly hadn't seen since he was the main character in Starship Troopers...and now I know why. His acting is awful. The writing and entire script was bad, but so was the execution. The delivery of every character and scenario was painful. The twisters weren't as intense as they could have been but they did do a great job depicting the destruction when the storms were done. I will say there's a couple good kill scenes and I have seen worse movies.

Overall this movie is terrible and it felt like a made for TV Lifetime movie you'd turn the channel on 15 minutes into it. I'd score this a 2.5/10 and recommend skipping it.
