Movie Reviews of Night of the Twisters
Movie Review: Based on a book based on actual events
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a slightly changed version of the Ivy Ruckman book by the same name, a fictionalized account of the real-life disaster that happened 6/3/1980 in Grand Island. The book was very good and well worth reading, but I found some of the storyline in the movie in some ways even better. It developed the characters well and the growth of them & their relationships with each other. The movie was actually made about a decade ago, so the special effects are more typical of that time but no less good. As a fellow Nebraskan who remembers that night, I found most of the weather-related detail accurate. Likewise, I found a few changes in miscellaneous details that only a Nebraskan would catch... check out the license plates, for example... worth the ticket price right there, if you ask me. It was a very reasonable and even good adaptation from an existing book, which is a feat in and of itself.Movie Review: Night of the Twisters
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of my personal favorites, since I grew up with Devon Sawa as being one of my favorite actors. If you can look beyond the cheesy acting and the horrible special effects, you are bound to fall in love with this movie as well.
The setting takes place in Blainsworth, NE during a brisk fall day. A teenage boy is left home alone with his baby brother, and his best friend, when disaster strikes. This movie is about reuniting a family torn apart by a natural disaster, and overcoming obstacles along the way.
Movie Review: Psyched To Find This Again!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie on TV one night when I was 15 or 16, and have been trying to find a copy for my personal library for a long time since!! It was incredibly well done, which was amazing for a TV movie from the mid-90's, and helped to foster my fascination with severe weather, ESPECIALLY tornadoes!! Plus, I just love Devon Sawa...;) This movie is interesting, and compelling, and just great. I love it!!Movie Review: Great movie

I remember watching Night of the Twisters when I was a kid with my mom we would watch it every time it would come on tv
this movie has some scary parts for young children but it does show them what happens with tornados and what they do
I would definatly recommend this movie as it is one of my all time favorites.
Movie Review: I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY TORNADO BUFF
Summary: 5 Stars
I watch this movie every now and then because it has such a realistic feel to it. The special effects are better than a lot of disaster movies I have seen. Night of the Twisters also shows how a family unit should hold up under the worst conditions.
