If everything about this movie was judged as a whole then it would certainly be in the conversation for one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. The plot of a terrorizing lightning storm that is reeking havoc and taking lives does sounds like ammunition for a modern day disaster thriller but that’s immediately where the praise would stop. The lighting CGI in this movie is comparable to artwork in Microsoft paint which I admit are all laugh out loud funny but then quickly become flabbergasted when I remember that a team of people contributed to this. The acting in the movie is dreadful with almost every character sporting a distracting and jarring Australian accent which makes it hard for anything they say to be taken seriously. Some of the death scenes in this movie come out of no where and are similar to a Mortal Kombat 1 fatality. Somewhere jammed inside this outrages movie is also a depraved sexual deviant kidnapping women which just doesn’t have any coherent reason to be within the film other than to pad it’s useless runtime. All of your standard C movie tropes are widely noticeable throughout, things like clearly fake weapons appearing from a Halloween store, things like never a single blow even appearing to land on a character, things like dead characters clearly breathing and so on and so forth. Sound design for a movie based on storms and other auditory disturbances should probably have decent or maybe even matching sound effects but you guessed it , there is none of that going on here. This movie had potential to be in cult comedy horror status if they kept up the utterly absurd lighting CGI disintegration but you can pretty much pinpoint win the movies 45 dollar budget hit the limit and the free trial for Microsoft paint ran out is when the director tried to freestyle and it’s pretty apparent. The audacity of this man or woman(didn’t bother to look) to try and drop a sequel teaser at the end of this gobshite is a jail-able offense.
