This film delivers fun cheesy low budget entertainment, that's if your expecting crappy CGI, substandard acting, and destruction which consists of stock footage. Fire Twister is definitely the low point of cheap tornado films, it does worse than Sharknado since it has a more rushed feel to it. It's almost as if the producers weren't really trying with this film, especially since the special effects resembles something you would get from Adobe After Effects.
I doubt this film can be classified as so bad it's good, there are some points where you can have a chuckle but those moments only serve as a temporary distraction from the overall shoddy feel of the film.
Fire Twister is a total dumpster fire.

Fire Twister goes all up in smoke
Torch-Nado? Ugh
A sentient tornado made of fire, trained assassins who couldn't hit the side of a barn with a machine gun and characters who are not only easily fooled multiple times but can also easily find everything they need to destroy this thing, while every cop in the city is after them. I guess I only have myself to blame for watching this movie. What was I expecting? Did I think it might be good? If you see this on tv or somehow come across the dvd, run like it's an actual 10 story fire twister.
With that title, you know just what you're in for
Another in an endless stream of cheap disaster movies filled with washed-up leading actors, nobody supporting actors, and lousy CGI. This one's got Casper Van Dien in it - no stranger to the genre having also appeared in 500 MPH STORM, which is pretty much interchangeable with this movie. The story is about a private company who devise a new and deadly form of fuel, which then gets caught up in a twister and refuses to be extinguished.
As with so many of these films, almost the entire running time consists of a central family who find themselves caught up in an almost sentient disaster which then proceeds to chase them all over the country. Shots of the fire twister chasing a jeep must take up at least half of the running time. The acting is wooden, the characters are made of cardboard, and the movie exudes cheapness from every poor. I love the over the top nature of the evil company which sends a machine-gun toting hit squad after any witnesses to this man-made catastrophe; totally over the top and cheesy with it. The only positive I can find to say about FIRE TWISTER is that the CGI effects aren't quite as terrible as is the norm for this genre.
