for some strange reason the film world be drive by fashion . someone make a film about a killer shark then all of a sudden the film world ocean be awash with giant squid and killer octopusses and sea monster of every ilk . a man be stalk by an erstwhile lover from hell then every film character be stalk by a cop from hell or a flatmate from hell or a babysitter from hell . then when a major hollywood company produce a big budget fx laden blockbuster about tornado then other film producer jump upon the bandwagon and the fact that they don ` t have the budget to pull it off doesn ` t stop them . night of the twister be a case in point . what strike me about this make for television film be the fact that it try to hide it lack of budget by cut to the ad break . everytime a tornado appear the camara lock onto the horrified expression of the actor a they scream thing like oh my gawd it head this way and run for your life then the screen fade to black save the producer the need to up the special effect budget . unfortunately night of the twister budget should have be upped to include good actor . the cast be by no mean bad but they be unimpressive and lack the skill to carry a film which be character driven . where josh hartnett and elijah wood when you need them . and the last word on this be a twister clone . yes nott be release a couple of month before twister but twister have be hype for several month a be the summer blockbuster of 1996 and nott have a rush feeling to it which lead me to believe that it be make and release to tie in with the hype surround twister .
