Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

jabrbi There's nothing wrong with this film, if it had been made 20 years before. As a late '70's early '80's disaster film it would be pretty average for a member of the genre. However, coming in 2003 it's simply obviously dated, full of clichés, bad acting, terrible special effects, has an obvious and hackneyed plot, and is barely worth watching.There's the Baddie developer, who broke all the rules, secretly stashed a lot of money, blamed the architect - who was too stupid to notice that he wasn't to blame - spent all the money from a contract before it had been signed, has everybody in the town in his pocket (except for the ex-wife of the architect). Phew! I'm sure there are more clichés about the character, but my fingers are getting tired.There's the hero architect, who comes back to defend his reputation, try to make it up with his estranged son and wife, does everything he can to save the town, finds redemption, doesn't die. Yada, yada, yada.When the water flows through the town it's obviously a bucket of water superimposed on shots of the town, or a cup of water and some models.As I said, if this film had been made before 1985 it would have been a lot more acceptable. To have made a film of such low quality in the 21st Century is a travesty.

TheLittleSongbird Now there are some good disaster movies, The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno to name a few. But Killer Flood is not one of them, in fact for my tastes it was very poor not just of its genre but of film in general. In all honesty, the special effects are really quite terrible even for a made for TV movie. They are very unimaginative in scope and how they are incorporated in certain scenes. And as for the look of them things aren't that much better either, for my liking they do look rather cheap.The scenery is decent enough, but the photography and editing doesn't do it justice. The photography is of very uneven quality, it is serviceable in some of the scenes that don't contain any effects, but then in those with them it comes across as hackneyed. Particularly in the conclusion, which I personally did not very thrilling because quite a lot of the rest of the movie was uninteresting, the editing is choppy. Eric Allaman's music was okay at first, but I soon forgot about it.The acting is really quite bad, yes this is including Joe Lando. But they do have several things that hamper them other than the effects. They do have to play characters that you don't know much about or don't care about, and they also have a very weak and clichéd script, a story that is predictable and sluggishly paced and filled with what feels like lame rehashes and plodding direction. When I did first hear of this film, the first thing that came into my head was "what a terrible cash-in title". But I watched Killer Flood anyway but I have seen some movies that have bad titles but are surprisingly good movies. Killer Flood however manages not only to have a bad title but also to be a very poorly put together movie.All in all, very poor and maybe worth seeing to revel in its awfulness but for everything else I'd say skip it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

disdressed12 i though this film was okay.i din't think it was great.it was a bit too slow for my taste.lots of drama,but not very much action until close to the end of the film.this movie was basically a dramatic film,with the payoff,if you can call it that,not until near the end.to me,the scenes of the dam bursting and the water flooding the town,were okay,but much too brief.the film itself is done okay,the acting is decent,but it just didn't do it for me,in the long run.think it had something to do with the fact that there was very little suspense or tension built through the whole movie.at least that's what i think.the other factor is that i had just recently watched '10.5' and its sequel '10.5:Apocalypse'.these are 2 big budget "event movies,which,in my opinion, are a very hard act to follow,in terms of special effects and scenes of destruction.as a result,i have to rate Killer Flood:the Day the Damn Broke at 4/10

julian kennedy Killer Flood: The Day the Damn Broke: 1/10: Finally a movie whose title is spoiler proof. Even by the low standards of disaster movies, excuse me allow me to correct myself, even by the low standards of made for TV disaster movies this is truly awful. Where do I begin? The dam modeler may have once seen a photo of a dam but I doubt it. Most dams, especially large ones that generate electricity have oh I don't know a power plant nearby, some sluice gates for water to run through, heck even a high tension electrical wire or two. The dam is also somewhat understaffed. Two, count them, two employees staff the entire dam, all three shifts. And the employees were apparently imported from a clichéd ridden world war two film, as they heroically and rather needlessly have long eulogized death scenes complete with photos of grandchildrenn floating by. Heck one of them manages to get shot by the dam itself in a way that defies description. The special effects consist of flowing water superimposed on photo's of the town in a method that makes a sixties Godzilla film look like the Matrix. A three-year-old drawing with a blue crayon on the film stock would have yielded better results. Since the disaster money shots are worthless how is the rest of the film? Needless to say the script and acting follow the special effects lead. This is no diamond in the rough. This is the rough. So is it a guilty pleasure? Killer Flood is awful enough to generate some laughs and the film itself has that earnest incompetence that makes a good cult classic, but bad disaster films need to age like a fine wine. (Avalanche, The Swarm, Meteor) It is also doubtful that Michelle Green hiding from the flood in a dumpster with a golden retriever will ever match the great Henry Fonda being pelted by raisins that are supposed to be killer bees. Check back with me in 2024.
