Move Over Sharknado, Syfy's 'Stonados' To Hit Boston
BOSTON (CBS) - Boston is no stranger to Hollywood. So it should come as no surprise that yet another film has decided to feature the city as a back drop. But this time, the Hub is getting destroyed.
After the cult success of 'Sharknado' last year, Syfy has put together a number of TV horror movies playing off similar themes.
On Saturday night, they will air their latest flick, Stonados.
Similar to Sharknado, the plot involves killer tornadoes with a twist. These tornadoes apparently hurl giant stones at the city and its residents, who happen to have terrible Boston accents.
Here's the synopsis from the YouTube trailer:
When a tornado appears in the waters south of Boston, former storm chaser Joe Randall is intrigued by the unusual weather. But as twisters begin to strike across the Boston shoreline, Joe quickly realizes this is no ordinary storm front. As the storms threaten to move inland, the citizens of Boston find themselves trapped in a tempest turning deadlier by the minute. With the city under siege, Joe, his sister Maddy and his old storm chasing partner Lee realize they're dealing with a never before seen weather phenomenon known as Stonados. The only chance of stopping the storm is an untested theory about weather manipulation... the same theory that Joe has been trying to prove for over a decade. But with the storm spreading and threatening the entire Eastern Seaboard--as well as Joe's children who are trapped in a storm-besieged stadium--Joe and his motley crew will have to give it a try, either saving the world... or accelerating its destruction!
According to the Internet Movie Database, Syfy canceled the original airing date of April 27 following the Boston Marathon bombings.
