05/01/2021 Es una película muy genérica, pero es decente para ser de televisión; la trama es predecible y los efectos especiales no son muy buenos; sin embargo, cumple su propósito de entretener en un rato aburrido sin nada más importante que hacer. See more 07/16/2020 A pretty cool Tornado TV film that was Fun to watch. See more 04/09/2018 a surprisingly good movie for a tv made family cable release. based on the strange odd anticyclonic real life OCCURRENCE of a breakout of a number of twisters that traveled slowly and circled back on themselves for an entire night in 1980's, this movie works with intense scenes. This movie is entertaining. See more 02/01/2018 This was the best movie just like the book. See more 04/17/2014 It's really a sad representation of what a tornado movie should be like. See more 09/25/2013 Night of the Twisters aired on the now defunct Family Channel in 1996. There was a time when this channel was host to a slew of movies inspired by the big blockbuster hits of the era. Armageddon was one of them, as was, in this case, Twister. It's basically a more family-oriented movie about tornadoes wreaking havoc on a small town. You have only the most basic of characterization and the thinnest of plots, plus mostly mediocre acting. Overall, it's not entirely terrible, but you may find yourself annoyed by things that the characters are saying or doing. That is, if you don't take this movie seriously, and many people do, including many people on Flixster. There are some unintentional comic moments, like when a random trash can lid that hasn't been established at all flies out of nowhere and into someone's face. You know, things like that. I know the movie was based on a book, but this was clearly rushed into production based on the success of the movie Twister, not to mention the trend of remaking movies for families at the time. It's not altogether a terrible piece of trash, but it's not worth more than a single watch. See more Read all reviews
