On this day in 2010 (in the U.S.), The Final Storm enjoyed breaking through the noise with its very first home video release. Directed by Uwe Boll from a story by Tim McGregor, the film starred Lauren Holly, Steve Bacic, Luke Perry, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"A blood red moon, dying animals and torrential rain are just some of the catastrophes that are wreaking havoc on the world on a global scale. Even more unsettling is how quiet everything is. Could these events signify Armageddon?"
-- EZ

Key Details
- Plot: Tom (Steve Bacic) and Gillian Grady (Lauren Holly) live in isolation on a farm. As world news shows intense, bizarre catastrophes, a man named Silas Hendershot appears, claiming to need refuge. Tensions rise as Silas seems polite yet unsettling, and Tom begins to mistrust him while the world outside seems to end.
- Cast: The film stars Luke Perry (Beverly Hills, 90210) as Silas, Lauren Holly (NCIS) as Gillian, and Steve Bacic (Andromeda) as Tom.
- Themes: It blends apocalyptic disaster with a psychological "home invasion" style thriller, often focusing more on the tension between the characters than the storm itself.
- Reception: Reviews are generally mixed to poor, often citing a slow pace, though many note it is better produced than some of Boll's more action-oriented work.
- Ending: The film concludes with a dramatic confrontation where the apocalyptic elements seem to be confirmed, followed by a sudden, surreal climax.
