Monsters of California Review | All the Small Things of Tom Delonge’s Directorial Debut Don’t Add Up to Much

Ghosts, grief, and God are all prominent themes in Tom Delonge of Blink-182's directorial debut, Monsters of California. The story, which Delonge co-wrote with Ian Miller and Ben Kull, centers around a teenager, Dallas, who comes across research left behind by his missing — presumed dead — father. He recruits two of his friends and a girl he meets at a coffee shop to join him on a quest to uncover what really happened to his father. Along the way the group encounters a variety of different forms of paranormal activity as the military makes futile attempts to chase them down.
