A horror film that combines classic monster movie elements set within the backdrop of unpredictable Kansas weather. Start with a mother and her three daughters forced to take shelter from an advancing tornado in a local storm cellar. What is waiting for them underneath is another story entirely.

Okay, I really honestly think that Hollywood thinks the flyover country between New York and Los Angeles is entirely occupied by inbred mutant monsters, and that's why they pretty much have contempt for the rest of the country.So we have a recovering alcoholic mom who is going to drive through tornadoes with her three daughters to meet her returning veteran husband at the Kansas City Airport. Incidentally, the whole plot point of her being a recovering alcoholic is introduced, and other than having a few scenes where she encounters alcohol, nothing is done with it.Equally introduced and goes nowhere is the boyfriend of one of the daughters who just wants to have sex with her, but she's playing with him. Why was this in the movie? No reason.Well, they eventually get trapped in the storm cellar of a town where the whole population is some kind of shape-shifters who turn into monsters when there is a storm.The payoff is nihilistic garbage where the people you are supposed to like are killed by the monsters.Honestly, it's garbage where I guess some technical people were trying to build their resumes... I'm really sorry I invested any time into it.

Very Different! but a movie definitely worth watching. This movie had a very unique storyline and was creative and I liked it a lot.I would recommend this movie to a friend. I wish they did give a little more details about the town and the actual creatures, but I guess you can't have it all in a 90 minute movie. Overall I'm please with this movie and would like to see a part 2 were these beast can battle some solders and not 4 little girls.If you have time please do pick this horror flick up and you will be amused. I watched a lot of bad movies in my day's and this isn't one of those movies.

I really thought this movie had a chance. Good idea, bad execution. So, the acting was... I just don't have an adverb that adequately describes how bad it was. The supporting actors were especially stiff and unbelievable. There was no chemistry at all between... you know what? Never mind. It was just bad. The youngest sister was unconscious for most of the movie and it was still crappy acting. I didn't even know it was possible to poorly act unconscious. Baby Jesus in heaven! And the whole movie is just "The Hills Have Eyes"/any-werewolf-movie, but in a storm cellar. The "action" sequences were laughable. Wait, you'll like this! I swear to God, there's a part where one sister throws the other sister a gun and the slow-motion catch is an honest-to-God "6 million dollar man" ripoff. But baaaaaaaaaad. Just baaaaaaaaaad.shakes his head and walks away

OK,so at first it seemed like a decent film,everything went pretty good.. the whole storm/tornado theme was convincing untiiiiil.... they got locked in that cellar....!The acting was very bad.. the music/sounds that these cheap "gollum" looking creatures were making made me think it was a horror comedy of some kind.. it had nearly 0 blood or anything gory... and the special effects were bad as well and really outdated for a 2012 film...!Especially the scene where the girl is supposedly caught in the tornado while in the car was that bad that it made me laugh and then she just disappears just like that... it seemed like they just wanted to end it.The story itself wasn't that bad... but it was really bad made so i couldn't even finish the film but i fast forward it for the shake of it... cheers!
