Description

In the year 2020, we thought monsters would eventually come from the sky, we were wrong, unaware that they would come from the water below.

In an action-packed film filled with beautiful colors and dynamic fight scenes we discuss just how to CANCEL THE APOCALYPSE,...and it's still not even Franks's favorite Guillermo Del Toro film.
