You spend the whole time talking to the tv ask Are you really that stupid? Horrible acting.

Honestly I was expecting this film to be worse than it was, it's not a great film by any means, but I feel as though they try. The acting is decent enough, but the script writing is not great. There's some little nice touches, so the film is watchable if you don't think too hard about things. The film does just kind of end, and that was disappointing. And I feel it wastes time in other areas when something more interesting could happen in its place.

Right, well the 2016 movie "Deadly Voltage" sadly falls into the same horrible category of laughable, boring, uneventful and horrible CGI and special effects genre that most movies in the natural disaster movies tend to do. I had a gnawing expectation that "Deadly Voltage" might happen to be one such movie. But I still decided to sit down and watch it on the odd chance that I was actually missing out on a marvelous movie in the natural disaster movie genre. Perhaps I should have checked with IMDb and have seen the movie's rating before I opted to sit down and watch it. But I didn't. Turns out that writer Renée St. Cyr managed to come up with an idea for a natural disaster movie that involved - and this is where it gets really inventive - a small family that seems to be trailed by the events of the natural disaster. Oh yeah, like we haven't seen that before in just about every other movie in the natural disaster genre. But worse still, director John L'Ecuyer utterly failed to bring the movie to life on the screen in an enjoyable manner. The storyline in "Deadly Voltage" was so simple that you just had to lean back and ride along, switch off your brain entirely and just enjoy the ride. Well, sadly there wasn't much of a ride here, and even less to enjoy. So don't expect anything grand from writer Renée St. Cyr and director John L'Ecuyer. The special effects in the movie were passable, sure. But believable or realistic? No. Not even remotely. And a movie in the natural disaster genre needs to have special effects that convince the audience if not outright amaze the audience with its realism. Nothing of that going on in "Deadly Voltage". The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the genre and budget of the movie. But keep in mind, the actors and actresses had so very, very little to work with in terms of script, storyline and characters. The characters actually felt like cardboard cutouts milling about like drones, not knowing where to do, what to do, or how to interact. Mike Dopud was actually the most outstanding and memorable of performers in the movie, just a shame that he was held back by the entire movie. "Deadly Voltage" came and left without as much as leaving a surge or a shock. Pardon the pun. I hadn't heard about this 2016 movie before now in mid-2019 when I stumbled upon it by sheer luck. Oh, and you got to love the cheesy, and blatantly stolen catch phrase on the movie's cover/poster that says "it's electrifying". "Deadly Voltage" was anything but electrifying. It wasn't even a mild zap across the skin at the top of your fingers.

Only watch this Movie if your life depends on it. Watch it, and it may!.. I was loosing the will to live after 15 minutes so decided to help my wife make the bed, she only lasted 10 minutes. Enough time wasted on this garbage, but hope writing this long -long review may save others!..

Well I watched it - I fell asleep. Not much of a plot, irritating teens, lacklustre characters with no depth. If you are having trouble sleeping put this on and you will drift off into slumberland pronto.

Why didn't they just back the truck up instead of getting out? Why is there so much scrap metal in a country town? Why were there only a few small monitors in a NATIONAL Weather Institute? Where did he get those two buckets of fluid and a electronic box with poles? Why did the boy have his leg over the metal that was crushing his arm? Why did that metal look like flimsy sheetrock? And finally, WHY DID I WATCH THIS? I was looking for a deliciously bad disaster film and I almost got it.

Dire. Best bit was when the two teenager got blown to bits with a direct lightening strike, (but survived of cause, like you do). A lot of time spent looking at blank sky's and trees not the littlest bit stormy. I'm defiantly in the wrong job if folks can get paid to turn out this sort of very boring trash.
