A What-Nado? The 10 Wackiest Natural Disaster Movies

Despite humanity still standing tall, challenging death's array of obstacles on a daily basis, Hollywood loves showing us all the ways our existence could be eradicated in a heartbeat. While war is a predominant reason for our extinction, leading to nuclear obliteration and senseless killing, these are all fates brought upon by our own doing. Country against country, army against army, we can see these attacks coming, but what about the threats we cannot predict? What about the daily harm we cause Mother Nature? It's only a matter of time before she strikes back with a vengeance, as we can't even fathom the most dastardly natural disasters still to come our way - or can we?

If you haven’t seen The Happening yet, consider yourself lucky. The only way I made it through the entire movie was synching M. Night Shammy’s abysmal disaster film with the geniuses over at Rifftrax (the Mystery Science Theater 3,000 gang), and even THAT was a chore despite laughing throughout. I mean, spoilers are coming for whoever hasn’t suffered through Marky Mark’s most regrettable role – but if you haven’t seen the film yet, consider what I’m about to do a favor.

Killer plants. Yup, threatened by humans, the vegetation all around us starts releasing a toxin into the air that makes people commit suicide. We screwed with Mother Nature, she got pissed, and we had to pay for our actions by laying down in front of farmhand equipment or jumping off tall buildings. Brilliant stuff, M. Night.

This movie is lazy, without tension, and painfully dreadful to watch, but we can’t deny how absolutely batshit insane of a natural disaster movie Shyamalan’s biggest failure is based on.
