INTO THE STORM [2014]

Imagine that the Jan De Bont/Michael Crichton tornado thriller Twister was a found footage film and you pretty much get the idea of director Steven Quale's Into The Storm.
A group of Oklahoma storm hunters tangled up with a single dad & his sons hunt and run from a ridiculously large tornado that devours everything in it's path.  There's not a single memorable character to be seen, the ending can be predicted within the first minute and the found footage aspect of the film it's incredibly distracting at times.  Amidst all it's shittiness is a surprising amount of fun to be had within the special effects carnage and the obligatory flying cow.
