I rented this movie with Net Flix and it is a great movie. I'm definitely going to buy this in the future. I love storms and I found this an entertaining movie. You can tell the tornados were computer generated and didn't look like they do in real life, but I'm not a picky person and I still found them to look real enough. The movie "Twister" that everyone is familiar with had more realistic looking tornados, but "Devil Winds" is still a great movie. I liked the characters, the story, etc. Great movie!

I just got my DVD of Devil Winds and it is awesome. Joe Lando(Dr. Quinn, Higher Ground) is still a hottie. The storyline is very plausible and the CGIs look like a real tornado was happeining. The chemistry between Pete (Joe) and Julia (Nicole Eggert) could have been explored more, but there is alot of action to make up for it. If you like "disaster" type movies, I think this one will become a favorite to watch.

DEVIL WINDS is full of all the cliches you expect in this kind of movie: a tornado expert miscalls a tornado and loses his wife in the process; a buxom up and coming reporter wants to make it to the bigtime; a new viral investigation clinic is built and may be in the path of a horrible twister, but the director vows to keep things going; and the hero has a daughter who blames him for her mother's death and doesn't want anything to do with him. But still, DEVIL WINDS succeeds due to a pleasant cast and computer-generated tornadoes that are pretty awesome, even if they don't look totally real. It's a movie and for a lower budgeted film, the fx team does okay. Joe Lando (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Combustion) does a staunch job as the hero and Baywatch's Nicole Eggert, looking a little heftier and unglamorous than usual, does okay too. Not as high quality as TWISTER, but still entertaining.

I watch this movie on Netflix I like it so much decide to buy a copy to add to my collection. very good story line. Acting very good. It one of those few movies that there was nothing that I dislike

When viewed simply as a story, I found the movie to be satisfactory. However, it did have a lot of footage of things you DO NOT do during a tornado...walking /running around in the debris field, leaving places of shelter, taking refuge in a culvert or under a bridge. These things are deadly, and in my opinion, the movie should have had a disclaimer to not do these things during a tornado. Of course a culvert is preferable to an open field, as is a bridge...but in Oklahoma, they have been proven to be deadly.
