In 1985 the US and their enemies at the time, Russia, decided to launch a joint space mission to find extraterrestrial life and create peace between the two nations, ending the Cold War and – hopefully – giving both nations a prosperous future. Only the mission failed, the spacecraft was lost in 2007 along with its passenger, a chimpanzee… Now its 2021 and the probe has returned, along with its passenger Abraham the ape – who’s grown to a whopping 15 feet and is angry, very angry! However Abraham is not alone. The spacecraft contains alien fluids which, besides giving Abraham a growth spurt, has also escaped into the local waters. Where a salamander decides to take a sip and well… let’s just say “who’s a big boy then?...

When an experiment into a new source of natural fuel goes disastrously wrong, a rash of massive hurricanes rips across North America. A scientist, originally responsible for the design of the new power plant but who has walked away from the project, must get his family to safety before the hurricanes merge, creating a “hypercane” with the power to wipe America off the map.
A ridiculous plot, terrible CGI and a former Hollywood superstar slumming it with a bunch of B-list actors… Seems like a step back for mockbuster kings The Asylum if you ask me – especially when their recent films have see the company step up production values and storytelling to craft some great direct-to-market films.
