Reception
A review at Voices From the Balcony concluded: "The Twisters is slightly better than the usual film from The Asylum. While it’s as brain dead as most of their films, it never bogs down in dialogue to the point where it gets boring.so while it may be dumb, it frequently manages to be dumb fun."[7]
"The Twisters is completely tailored to the US audience from the Midwest, the so-called flyover states. Country music, rodeos, and Texan Glen Powell in the lead role appeal to an audience rarely targeted by Hollywood blockbusters. These are also people who have already experienced devastating tornadoes.", wrote Arthur A. for the German website Filmfutter.[8]
