Rating:  - Not Too Bad.
I rank this one among the best of the made for cable disaster movies. Granted it's formulaic, but it executes said formula well. Given that it's a TV movie from 1995, the CGI effects are above average as well. There have been over half a dozen TV movies about tornadoes since Night of the Twisters, but this one remains the most engaging of them.
Recommended for genre fans or families looking for a solid movie that's enjoyable for everyone.

But by using the remote to zip past the long, drawn out attempts at character development, I was able to enjoy the disaster part of the movie. The graphics were decent enough and the survival part of the story was entertaining.

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 ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent entertainment
Teenager Dan Hatch and his friend Amos are babysitting Dan's baby brother, watching TV and fooling around. But a major tornado is coming their way, unbeknownst to them but knownst to us, and we just want to scream, "Get the baby and get out of there NOW!". I just love the scene where the ping pong table swirls around for a few seconds, then flies away! In fact, unlike Twister which mostly showed us the damage from the outside, Night of the Twisters makes us feel much more "inside" the tornado. And ... Read More
