Featured review
90 minutes of print + same old stock footage = A REAL MOVIE DISASTER!
Those who haven't discovered this movie containing true disaster footage, don't worry about a thing! What you get is over ninety minutes of archived films on disastrous events that happened over the course of modern human history, with narration by William Conrad plus quite a few underpaid folks playing eyewitnesses voicing out short sentences on the events that occurred. The best segments were on Hurricane Camille and the Brazillian high-rise fire (which looks disturbing for a PG-rated release). Unfortunately, all of the footage contained in CATASTROPHE can be found in other videos with more explicit detail, meaning that its rarity is disintegrated. Oh, the humanity!
OH, WELL!
OH, WELL!
