Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I'm a sucker for disaster movies and I hadn't previously seen flooding tackled in the genre, but I still sat down to watch this 2003 film with low expectations given its made-for-TV nature. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a really cruddy movie, one which focuses on soap opera family drama over disaster and wastes all of its potential.The film opens with a minor accident at a dam that sees a token black character drowned. From then on in, the film slows way down with its tale of a broken family and a dastardly developer who cares nothing for human lives. It quickly becomes apparent that the budget is the lowest of the low, because there are only two scenes of flooding and a couple of dodgy composite shots of a flooded city. The flooding scenes themselves are hilariously awful, achieved by miniature effects that wouldn't look amiss in a '70s flick but are woefully dated by modern standards. And don't get me started on the misnomer of a title – approximately two people die in the entire film, leaving this dull-as-floodwater outing extremely anti-climatic.

i though this film was okay.i din't think it was great.it was a bit too slow for my taste.lots of drama,but not very much action until close to the end of the film.this movie was basically a dramatic film,with the payoff,if you can call it that,not until near the end.to me,the scenes of the dam bursting and the water flooding the town,were okay,but much too brief.the film itself is done okay,the acting is decent,but it just didn't do it for me,in the long run.think it had something to do with the fact that there was very little suspense or tension built through the whole movie.at least that's what i think.the other factor is that i had just recently watched '10.5' and its sequel '10.5:Apocalypse'.these are 2 big budget "event movies,which,in my opinion, are a very hard act to follow,in terms of special effects and scenes of destruction.as a result,i have to rate Killer Flood:the Day the Damn Broke at 4/10

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Pathetic in almost every way.I threw the DVD straight in the bin - I didn't even think it was fair to give it to the local thrift shop.The effects are beyond a joke. The dam control room looks like cardboard. The water looks way out of scale with the backgrounds - nothing works.Then there is the limp plot - about as much depth as a Scooby Doo cartoon.I couldn't wait for them all to drown.

Killer Flood is a great vehicle for Joe Lando. There's action, love, and adventure, all of which are fun to watch him do.. I think the special effects were fine. I would love to see the progression of the characters from this story in future films.
