Ridiculous <> Sublime sets 2025 on fire right out of the gate with this fantastical depiction of hell and the demented world above it.

Veronica, a demoness in a surprisingly pious hell, is constantly at odds with those around her because of her rebellious spirit. Yearning to explore the world above, she challenges her elders who are all just trying to go about their duty of torturing landlords and bankers. When she does find her way to the surface, she is appalled to find it brimming with injustice, save for the handsome and kind-hearted doctor who takes her in. With the aid of her dog Hellraiser, she targets the evildoers, setting her sights ultimately on the mayor.

A Full Moon Entertainment production directed by a woman (Linda Hassani) and filmed in Romania, Dark Angel: The Ascent is better than it has any right to be, helped by an outrageous script by Matthew Bright (Forbidden Zone, Freeway) and (we kid you not) stunning cinematography.
