Devil Winds

This film begins with a storm chaser in Oklahoma by the name of "Peter Jensen" (Joe Lando) and his colleague "Robert Booker" (Pete Graham) actively monitoring a weather system which has the potential of developing into a tornado. The conditions eventually get to the point where Peter advises the local weather bureau to announce a tornado warning. Unfortunately, he miscalculates the exact location and even though a twister does indeed touch ground it's in the wrong vicinity-and his wife "Mary Jensen" (Kirsten Robek) is killed in the process. To that effect, even though he is not a fault, he takes it quite badly and moves out west to Oregon to start a new life. The scene essentially shifts to ten years later where he has come back to Oklahoma to see his daughter "Kara Jensen" (Erica Durance) when another weather system develops and he volunteers to help track it as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather tepid picture which didn't really impress me all that much. In particular, a couple of the subplots were totally irrelevant and to make matters even worse the CGI wasn't all that impressive either. In short, those looking for a film of this sort might want to check out "Twister" or possibly its low budget clone "Tornado!" as this one lacked the necessary intensity.
