It seems like, with the recently released Firenado, that Scott Jeffrey’s Jagged Edge Productions are looking to take on the current kings of the low-budget natural disaster movie(s), The Asylum. They also share two more things in common, bad CGI and even worse acting!
Mega Lightning follows Meg (May Kelly) and a young woman who seemingly has issues with self-esteem and self-worth as she and her sister plan a party with their friends and respective boyfriends after her parents go away for a holiday. However, their plans as scuppered by an over-the-top lightning storm that seemingly targets the electricity in people like some kind of vicious [super]natural event – not only frying people alive but, in a particularly stunning shot,...

Before going viral with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, writer, director and producer Scott Jeffrey was already tapping classic fairytales, myths and legends for his low-budget British horror companies Jagged Edge Productions and Proportion Productions – taking familiar childhood tropes and turning them on their heads, oftentimes making a bright, cheerful kids thing onto a film of sheer terror. That path has given us killer tooth fairies, evil leprechauns, a demonic cupid, a terrifying Humpty Dumpty and a Hills Have Eyes-esque duo of Jack and Jill… Perennial kid’s nursery rhyme characters turned into a couple of inbred, hillside-dwelling psychopathic killers!
Unfortunately for The Legend of Jack and Jill things fell a little flat thanks to the one-dimensional characters and the fact it wasn’t really that scary.
