Review:
Before Syfy (formerly the Scifi Channel) began making shark and python movies, the channel use to (still does from time to time) air disaster flicks. Recently, Mill Creek Entertainment released the 2-disc Storms Of The Century DVD, featuring five low-budget movies disaster films - Flood, Flood - A River's Nightmare, Killer Wave, Tidal Wave: No Escape and Tornado! There are no special features or extras.
Flood is a 2007 British film that saw a limited release (the 110-minute version) in theaters before the 196-minute version debuted on television in two parts. Based on the book of the same name by Richard Doyle and directed by Tony Mitchell, the film stars Robert Carlyle, Jessalyn Gilsig and Tom Hardy. The plot centers on a huge storm that floods London!
Flood - A River's Nightmare is a 1998 made-for-television. It's set in small farming town in Missouri during the 1993 flood. It stars Richard Thomas and Kate Vernon. It's not a great movie, so I won't go into any more details.
Killer Wave is a mini-series that aired in 2007. It starred Anagus Macfadyen, Jarine Vanasse and Tom Skeritt. The plot centers on a man-made cataclysms that triggered a massive tidal wave that is flooding cities coast to coast.
