Ghost Storm (2011)

Ghost Storm (2011): written and directed by Paul Ziller; starring Carlos Bernard (Sheriff Miller), Chrystal Allen (Ashley Barrett), Cindy Busby (Daisy Barrett), Steve Bacic (Carl), and Aaron Douglas (Greg Goropolis): Straight-to-cable horror film isn't terrible. 

A storm cloud made of ghosts threatens a small island off the coast of Washington state, I assume, though it's really British Columbia. Tony of 24's Carlos Bernard is suitably stoic as the town sheriff tasked with stopping the Ghost Storm. The plot borrows a lot from Storm of the Century and John Carpenter's The Fog. Certainly an adequate time-waster with a surprisingly high body count and a Police Squad ending. Also bears some resemblance to the 2009 novel Ghost Monster by Simon Clark. Very lightly recommended.
