Storm Warning (2007), directed by Jamie Blanks, is a tense Australian horror film set in the Outback. It follows a couple, Pia (Nadia Farès) and Rob (Robert Taylor), who become stranded after a storm. Seeking refuge in an old house, they are soon at the mercy of its violent and deranged inhabitants, a family of rednecks led by Poppy (John Brumpton). The tension escalates as the couple becomes captives, subjected to physical and psychological torment.

The film builds suspense gradually, offering a slow-burning buildup before delivering a violent and chaotic final act. Pia, using her skills as an artist, manages to craft booby traps, leading to a brutal and bloody escape attempt. Storm Warning has been praised for its effective tension, strong performances (especially from Nadia Farès), and solid direction, though it has also been noted for being somewhat formulaic. The film balances suspense with grisly moments of horror, appealing to fans of both psychological tension and gore.

Despite being a lesser-known work in the horror genre, Storm Warning shares thematic elements with films like Wolf Creek and Razorback. It explores the concept of “yuppies in peril” in a harsh, unforgiving environment, with a strong focus on survival against sinister human threats
