Life After Death After Death...

Horror

In the 17th century, an order of monks in Italy capture and entomb a demon that has possessed a member of their group. 400 years later, school teacher Elizabeth Magrino visits the monastery in order to do some research. What she and the current monks do not realize is that the evil hiding within the catacombs has unwittingly been released.

VIBE

A suffocating descent into ancient evil. This film traps you in its dark, dusty catacombs, where religious fervor clashes with visceral, practical-effects horror. It’s a grim, claustrophobic experience that feels both old-school and relentlessly nasty.
