“Ascent to Hell,” inspired by true events, chronicles when a realtor shows an old New York factory building to a group of would-be investors, they are unwittingly caught in its tragic and sinister history.
“As fans of genre movies which touch on larger social subject matter, we’re excited to share this heart-pounding film with audiences everywhere,” states Director, Dena Hysell.
The “Ascent to Hell,” script was inspired by the horrible garment factory fires that continue to happen across the globe in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and more, where hundreds of people die needlessly each year. Over a hundred years ago in the USA, these same sorts of fires and deaths were happening, which drove laws to change so it would no longer happen.
