Storm Warning (Thriller / Completed)

The people who brought you WOLF CREEK and the director of URBAN LEGEND take terror to the extreme!

On a weekend boating excursion, husband and wife, Rob and Pia become lost in a heavy storm and end up in the most unlikely place – a desolate swamp surrounded by thick forest. With their boat in disarray their only solution is to look for help or seek shelter of some kind.

They finally come across a decrepit house and barn with no one home. However, there are definite signs of the house being inhabited, and the enormous crop of marijuana in the barn suggests the homeowners may not welcome their presence. Even worse, there is no telephone or means of communication to the outside world.

But when the deranged, redneck owners, Brett, Jimmy and their even more terrifying father Poppy return, Rob and Pia realize a fear far beyond anything they have ever known, and resentful of the affluent intruders, the monstrously sadistic hillbillies imprison and enslave the couple, who fearing for their lives, submit to appalling degradation and humiliation.

When Rob and Pia learn their kidnappers have no intention of ever letting them go alive, they finally understand they must do whatever it takes just to survive, and whatever it takes means going to a limit they could never have imagined...

STORM WARNING is directed by internationally renowned horror maestro, Jamie Blanks, whose debut film URBAN LEGEND grossed in excess of US $100 Million world wide.

- Best Special Effects Makeup (Justin Dix)

"The effects in the movie are pretty good and there is one that I'm thinking of especially that was one of the coolest sequences I can remember seeing in a long time. I won't give it away here but I'll just say it's a trap that the couple come up with that even though you'll see them build, you won't see what happens coming ahead of time. It's a pretty sick and twisted little stunt and it works great in the film."

"The acting in the film is pretty decent overall and makes the movie something more than just your typical film of this type. The family of maniacs are all pretty convincing in their roles... But to me the major performance in the film was from Nadia Fares. She's a beautiful woman so she's pretty captivating on screen and she can act as well. She runs through a range of emotion in the movie and it works very well. She's believable in the role and actually does the right things to make you want to see her survive through the movie."

Movie Cynics:

"Blanks' movie looks so great and has wonderful pacing."
