In this horror anthology edited from older Full Moon releases, three tales of terror are told. In "ASCENT FROM HELL" ('Dark Angel: The Ascent') an young demon female escapes Hell and comes to Earth where she becomes the punisher of sinners. "INFINITE EVIL" ('The Lurking Fear') a race of cannibalistic genetic creatures live below a cemetery and hunt humans for food. In EVIL NEVER DIES ('Talisman'), the Black Angel is summoned from his resting place to bring about the end of the world. Written by Wallace Entertainment
I rented this DVD expecting to see a collection of three short horror movies. What I didn't realize was that they were 3 shortened versions of previously independently released, full length films. The Tomb of Terror butchered these original films. It is easily discernible that key elements of the films must have been cut out. The films are choppy and the connection of the characters is hard to follow. It's really too bad because I think that each one individually might be OK if viewed in their entirety. I really would like to see Dark Angel: The Ascent" as it was originally released. It looks like it may be pretty good but you don't really know by watching The Tomb of Terror. The films had too much hacked out to shorten them. They don't make sense and lack continuity. The Tomb of Terror is a waste of your time.
