## Resource

As a special bonus, we're delighted to get the opportunity to speak with Linda Hassani and Michael C. Mahon, the director and co-star, respectively, of the 1994 Full Moon classic DARK ANGEL: THE ASCENT! The two give us the behind-the-scenes scoop on the making of the film, the experience of shooting in Bucharest, and the surprising legacy the film still has.
