Censorship rating of this film may vary from region to region. This film is graphic regardng the sex act and ought not be considered a religious film in the normal sense of the word. The plot: concerns a mysterious character named Sylas Hendershot (Luke Perry), who takes refuge from a storm in a farm owned by Tom (Steve Bacic) and Gillian Grady (Lauren Holly). He claims that he should stay and that they should watch after each other. Tom starts to dislike Sylas and becomes suspicious of him and his past. Tom travels to the town police station to look for records regarding Sylas after he finds a newspaper clipping about him and his father in the attic. Tom is attacked by two deranged men after finding an article showing Sylas as the actual killer of his father. It shows that Sylas' father lost the farm because he was drunk and this enraged Sylas so much that he hung him from a tree and left him there for days. When a bank foreclosure agent came by to foreclose on the house, Sylas slit his throat as well. It is then found out that Sylas has been in prison for the last 20 years related to the two deaths. Tom, after finding his wife half naked with Sylas in the bathroom, kicks him out at gun point and tells him never to return. Sylas does return however, and starts a fire as a distraction outside which makes Tom run out to look for Sylas. Sylas traps a rope around Tom's neck and drags him up in the tree to hang, just like he did with his father. Sylas then goes into the house to talk to Tom's wife and try to persuade her to become his new wife. Tom's son comes to his rescue and cuts Tom down from the tree moments before he loses consciousnesses. A battle then ensues between Tom and Sylas. Tom burns Sylas alive by pushing him into the fire Sylas created as the distraction. After the battle, the stars in the sky start to glow and then disappear just like it was depicted in the bible. Just before the ending credits role, the entire universe is shown glowing very brightly then disappearing signifying the worlds end.[3]
Filming began in late 2008, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on a $5 million budget, considerably lower than most of Boll's previous films.[6] Unlike several of Boll's previous works, Final Storm is not based on a video game.[7]
Final Storm was released as direct-to-video production on 13 April 2010 in the United States on DVD and Blu-Ray.[8]
