A Band Is Hunted In The Trailer For ‘What The Waters Left Behind 2: Scars’

In 2018, a group of documentary filmmakers journeyed to the town of Epecuén, one of the most important touristic villages of Argentina, where thousands of people would visit, attracted by the healing properties of its thermal waters. On November 10th, 1985, a massive volume of water broke the protecting barrier, and the village was submerged under ten meters of salt water.

Axeman is gearing up for battle against “Satan’s Whores”. This morning, Axeman trilogy writer and director Joston Ramon Theney (interview) confirmed the release of #SinningWorks’ first comic book, scheduled to hit shelves this Fall.
