On top of having to deal with the Biblical apocalypse unfolding around them, an isolated family must contend with the arrival of a mysterious stranger named "Silas" who starts making himself a little too at home. At first he's more of an annoying presence as he helps himself to the family's food and begins doing work around their property despite no one asking him to, but quickly turns creepy by trying to play father and husband while butting heads with the actual man of the house. To make things weirder the wife and son seem completely unfazed by their guest's actions even when they clearly cross the line. It is briefly implied that there are some familial issues going on behind the scenes that may be putting them at odds with the father, but it's never explored so there's no explanation as to why they would be so accepting of this weirdo imposing himself into their lives like this. The whole end of days scenario is only in place so that there's some sort of justification behind Silas being able to stay with them in the first place. A clever idea I'll admit, but it ultimately never pays off. The death of world ends up feeling so detached from the main plot it's almost like two movies are going on at once. I do believe it was possible to make the disparate threads come together, but this just wasn't the film to make that happen. The biggest problem with The Final Storm though is that it's boring. Not much actually happens before the finale outside of an unexpectedly eerie trip into town where the characters discover everyone else has disappeared. After that it's right back to the farmhouse for another round of cyclical conversations designed to pad out the running time. All of the excitement takes place at the conclusion. I will say it's very well made. With better acting and production values than just about every one of the director's other works. Unfortunately that doesn't mean much in the face of how dull and nonsensical it all is. I mean, the most noteworthy aspects for me were that a sex scene occurs in literally the first 10 minutes and it having one of the most bizarrely abrupt endings I've ever seen. Outside of that all I can think to talk about are its faults, which should tell you everything you need to know.
