I'm a sucker for disaster movies and I hadn't previously seen flooding tackled in the genre, but I still sat down to watch this 2003 film with low expectations given its made-for-TV nature. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a really cruddy movie, one which focuses on soap opera family drama over disaster and wastes all of its potential.The film opens with a minor accident at a dam that sees a token black character drowned. From then on in, the film slows way down with its tale of a broken family and a dastardly developer who cares nothing for human lives. It quickly becomes apparent that the budget is the lowest of the low, because there are only two scenes of flooding and a couple of dodgy composite shots of a flooded city. The flooding scenes themselves are hilariously awful, achieved by miniature effects that wouldn't look amiss in a '70s flick but are woefully dated by modern standards. And don't get me started on the misnomer of a title – approximately two people die in the entire film, leaving this dull-as-floodwater outing extremely anti-climatic.

Even a awful 1 is to much for this film, everything form start to finish made you cringe. I don't think it would be possible to cram more overly clichéd moments, into one piece of mind numbingly numbingly waste of film.Prisoner cell block H meets Thunderbirds, hell even Virgil's expressions were more life like than his son.I haven't even finished watching this and I'm on here now.... Oh no, the cheesy clapping of 3 actors and a backdrop done by a child with adobe premiere. This truly is the end of my "I've started so I'll finish watching it" phase.Oh joy, the credits have come to rescue me. (and relax)

Why can't there be better TV movies made I was at a loose end today and watched this film on a satellite channel in the UK. What a terrible waste of my time it was . Poor sets, Poor acting & Oh my god what a terrible flood . Blimey that woman can even outrun a torrent of water too!.I really wish that people would make TV movies using better effects, better or at least more believable plots & far better acting. Killer Flood is well up there with poor acting. A few bits of ham couldn't act any worse.1 final thing I really agree with the comment about the dog, but I believe it would of already scarpered in real life!

Got to watch this last night after recording it a few days ago. Quite a good show I must say, even though the plot is shallow and predictable. The visual effects were quite impressive for a made-for-TV movie. The stars were not very popular except for one, who I last saw him in prime-time series many years ago on local station. There were moments of adrenalin pumping on certain scenes that kept us glued to our seats. The view of the dam overlooking the town below was breathtaking. There was a movie a few years ago which depicted a killer flood too, but can't remember the title. They were more of night scenes than day scenes, which was quite forgettable, so Killer Flood is better. Overall, a good attempt. Two thumbs up!!
