Purgatory Comics, released in 2009, is a horror film that tells the story of a young woman named Pinky (Angela Benedict) who inherits a comic book store from her aunt. The store, located in a rundown section of a small city, is called Purgatory Comics, and it carries some of the most grotesque and dark comic books ever written. Pinky's aunt, an avid collector and fan of horror comics, had recently died under mysterious circumstances, and Pinky hopes that taking over the store will provide her with some answers. But soon she begins to realize that the store is cursed, and that the comic books hold a terrible power that is beyond her control.

As Pinky begins to delve deeper into the world of the store and the comics it sells, she is haunted by terrifying visions of monsters and demons that seem to be coming to life. She soon discovers that the comic books are not just works of fiction, but hold secrets that have been hidden for centuries.

Pinky's obsession with the store and the comics leads her down a dark path, forcing her to confront the demons of her own past as well as those that lurk within the store. As she struggles to fight the evil that threatens to consume her, Pinky must also battle the otherworldly presence that haunts Purgatory Comics.

Along the way, Pinky meets a cast of characters, including comic book enthusiasts and eccentric collectors who are just as dangerous as the comics themselves, and an ex-cop named Richard (Tim Kelly) who is haunted by his own demons.

Together, Pinky and Richard try to unravel the mystery of the store and its twisted history, but as they get closer to the truth, they realize that the evil they face may be more powerful than they ever imagined.

Purgatory Comics is a film that combines elements of horror, suspense, and dark fantasy. It is a visceral and disturbing exploration of the horrors that lurk within the human psyche, and the power of the imagination to conjure up nightmares that are as real as they are terrifying.

The acting in the film is solid, with the standout performances coming from Angela Benedict as Pinky and Tim Kelly as Richard. Both actors convincingly portray characters who are struggling with their own inner demons while trying to fight off the evil that surrounds them.

The film is also notable for its visual style, with director Tom Parnell using a dark, gritty color palette to convey the sense of dread and terror that permeates the story. The use of practical effects and makeup also adds to the overall sense of dread, with the monsters and demons in the film being truly terrifying creations.

Overall, Purgatory Comics is a film that will appeal to fans of horror, dark fantasy, and suspense. It is a gripping and unnerving tale that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
