Psycho Storm Chaser

What??? Why??? This was the stupidest thing I have watched to date! How does one even come up with an idea so out there and unappealing. Honestly made zero sense. I kept telling myself this has to be a joke...this has to be a joke. But guess what? Jokes on me!

Did anyone not know who was going to save the day at the end of the movie? If you didn't, shame on you.

Rib Hillis, who wouldn't have a career if it weren't for Lifetime and other TV movies, is too over the top here as the bad guy. I guess with a title like this, it is what we should expect, but any semblance to believability was destroyed by him chewing the scenery. But it is a Lifetime movie, after all. Expectations should be low to begin with.

So unbelievable. I live at the ocean, and a tropical storm does more damage than the Cat 3 that moved through the "Brody Peninsula" in this movie. The islanders would have known before the day of the impending hurricane and protocols would have been in place for evacuation of someone on life support. Yes, some people don't heed the warnings to evacuate, but nothing else in this movie was realistic. Seriously, the patio furniture cushions and pillows were intact when the hurricane exited the area!

This movie was more interesting than what I thought it would be. It reminded me of an episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour" called "An Unlocked Window", which was about a couple of nurses with a patient in a large house during a thunderstorm.

Of course, this was set in the Lifetime Universe, where the believability switch is turned off and all sorts of weird things happen.

In the Lifetime Universe.....

1. A category 3 hurricane is merely a severe storm with lots of rain, lightning, BUT NO WIND!!!!

2. People can be strangled, stabbed, shot at (SEVERAL TIMES) and still SURVIVE.

3. Persons who are in a coma can wake up, become INSTANTLY mobile, and attack someone.

Rib Hillis played a pretty good psycho and weatherman - he ought to consider being a presenter at The Weather Channel.

Have a drink and watch a horror show in "Lifetime Land".

6/10.

I was looking forward to this one. As expected the actors were horrible, the protagonist was trying his best to be creepy, the dumb victims, the storyline was madness, and the special effects could have been done better by a third grader. What could be better than that? It even has rain pouring up instead of down on the windows and no wind during a hurricane. Fun!
