This is not a brilliant film... but it is awesome entertainment. I loved this B-Movie flick.
So the story isn't all that, but it isn't a rip off of Sharknado as the similar title implies. It's actually a dark and twisted love and revenge tale. After being caught in the process of stealing her husband's money - from the takings of his "Adult's Only" Circus - with her, soon to be deceased, lover Cash, Savanna and Autumn MoonSpell curse the hubby. This curse catches up with him and his sidekicks, still in clown make-up, hacking and slashing up dear dead Cash so he can be disposed of easier. The curse traps them in a Tornado. Only to be released to take revenge and spread chaos and mayhem... Which they do, oh, so, well!
For a low budget indie film, the surprising thing is the scope. The writer and director Todd Sheets isn't happy staying in one place. He takes us to a bar, a diner, on the road, to an airport, in a plane, and to some storage units. He gives us clowns, a sorceress, a stripper, an un-dead peed off anti-wifey, a corn-fed red-neck truck driver hero, and a black Elvis... what more could a story and a film need... Well, It is a horror film... so, lots of gore - yeah we get that too.
I should take this moment to warn you that this film does not fall into the clean-humour genre. The comedic element is dark, twisted, and macabre... but so much fun. So if you don't like dark humour then I'd stay away.
I also have to give Sheets credit for trying. This is not your average point-and-shoot movie. Sheet's works with light and colour to create and build his atmosphere. He uses camera angles and off-kilter pans to add unease. These don't always work, though most of the time they do. It's nice to see a director trying techniques to improve his craft and his skill. More power to you.
The special effects are on a sliding scale from bad to awesome. The bad being the weird bloody caviar jelly they use a lot in the beginning when throats are torn open. The awesome being the "Make a wish" wishbone pull apart of the diner waitress.
As for the cast... Well, it works. The strangest thing is the acting is the worst part of the film. John O'Hara takes over-the-top to new staggering heights, though his character, Big Ronnie, needs it. In fact when he becomes a little more "normal" you want him to get nutso again. Rachel Lagen as Savanna is wooden but the aggressiveness she put into her lines adds power to her character. These two are the married couple who initiate the chaos with their love-hate relationship. I especially loved the way that when these two talk to each other they do it as though they were in an old 50's noir movie. This way of communication only enhanced the film for me. The rest of the cast range between okay to passible to good.
The good thing is that there are so many different character types and so much happening that you can't help but be sucked into the movie.
This isn't a must-watch film but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be entertained and doesn't mind a little bit of twisted fun. This has earned a place on my Guilty Pleasures List come Chart - come take a look to see where it placed... see if you agree.
