Storm Warning (2007, directed by Jamie Blanks)


A lawyer named Rob (Robert Taylor) and his French wife, Pia (Nadia Fares), get lost while on a boating trip and land on an island during the middle of a storm.  French Island is home to a family of rednecks, Poppy (John Brumpton) and his two inbred sons, Jimmy (David Lyons) and Brett (Matthew Wilkinson).  When the rednecks catch Rob and Pia seeking shelter in their home, they sexually harass Pia (which is not cool) and they give Rob a ton of crap for driving a Volvo (justified).  “You’re a frog on French island,” one of the rednecks tells Pia.  After having their wet suits stolen and being forced to kill a wallaby, Pia and Rob remember the end of Straw Dogs and violently turn against the rednecks.

This was a pointless movie.  Don’t go on sailing trips if you don’t know who or what is on any of the islands.  Don’t break into people’s houses, no matter how bad the storm is.  Always make sure to grab the keys before trying to steal a truck.  Never trust a Rottweiler.  These are lessons that are understood by everyone except for characters in dumb movies like this one.

There’s an unrated version of this is you want an extra four minutes of blood and insults.
