The Guy Who Brings On A Storm

About This Movie

So, 'The Guy Who Brings On A Storm' is a 1983 remake of the earlier 'The Stormy Man'. It captures a certain raw energy with its pacing that feels a bit rushed at times, but in a way, it adds to the chaotic atmosphere. The practical effects are pretty interesting, delivering that charming, albeit sometimes clumsy, feel you’d expect from the early '80s. The performances have a peculiar intensity that makes the characters feel real, even if the script has its flaws. The way it explores themes of inner turmoil and external chaos is compelling, though it doesn’t always hit the mark. It's a curious watch, especially for fans of odd remakes and those who enjoy films from this era.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, primarily due to its under-the-radar status and the obscurity of its director. It hasn’t seen a lot of home media releases, which makes original prints quite sought after. Many collectors appreciate it for its historical context and the charm of its practical effects. If you come across a copy, it's definitely one to tuck away, especially with the growing interest in '80s remakes.
