Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's a paint-by-numbers effort from Corman, who wants a big screen emergency, but doesn't want to pay for quality. Rated: C Sep 27, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen G If you're in the mood for something so bad that it's often laughable, you might check it out. If you want good acting, a decent plot, realistic special effects, or any semblance of thrills, don't. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/20 Full Review Audience Member One star for camp. Thatï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s it. The giant yellow styrofoan chunks of snow blowing every where sums it up perfectly. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy cow Mia Farrow and Rock Hudson equaled no chemistry and a horrible movie. Somewhat bearable while watching with the MST 3K crew making fun of it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Unintentionally funny. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Year was 1978 not 1999. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Sloppy but fun disaster movie. If nothing else, it shirks the genre's formulaic predictability of who'll be offed next. Really, no one is safe! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
