'Without Warning' was a mock news broadcast TV movie along the same lines as Orson Wells's 'War of the Worlds' radio adaptation. Being that it was made in the mid-'90s, it doesn't know moderation when it comes to piling on the cheese! Its gimmick of being shot in the style of consistent news broadcasting for the duration falls flat in places because whereas the likes of Jane Kaszmareck (probably spelled it wrong - the mum from 'Malcolm in the Middle') provides some seriously good acting, she's then let down by the show being so unconvincing in every other way that she just looks like she's crying over the corpse of her career; that or cramps.
I know it was just television and how limited it was at the time, but even the sound effects and static interference visuals were poorly done. They irritated me more than anything.
Television should never try to be pantomime and nobody should be expected to call endless badly scripted talking entertainment.
