Storm Warning has been released through the blandly titled "Dimension Extreme" series. Most of these films are very hit and miss, Storm Warning straddles the in between and reaches the okay realm.Storm Warning is the direct product of the Wolf Creek phenomenon in Australia. This Aussie film is once again about travelers who get caught by freakish back woods people. In this case it's two lovers who get caught, literally, in the rain and seek refuge on an island at a house that is the home to a trio of sociopath drug dealing killers.
The film is directed by Australian born Jamie Blanks who also directed Urban Legend and Valentine. Not exactly a good pedigree to say the least but Storm Warning is actually pretty dang good. It features beautiful landscape shots, showing off the natural beauty of the land down under. This is contrasted by the dirty vile and dangerous men who have taken our hapless heros hostage.
The film is pretty damn gory with some unique traps and setups to be had along with the unstoppable "last guy who needs to be killed" found in so many of these survival flicks. There's even a castration via beer can that's pretty damn shocking.
All in all there's really nothing new here, other then the fact that it was produced in Australia. Typical survival flick filled with tension and gory moments. Worth a rental.
Gore - medium
Nudity - none
Overall - 6/10
