THE CURSE OF VALBURGA
IMDB
Two brothers, petty thieves, suffer from fruitless business decisions. to climb out of their financial hole, they come up with a masterplan, looking to scam the wealthy tourists, who are visiting the country. They organize a guided tour of a local manor, Valburga, that’s closed to the public, and come up with a legend that they use as a marketing ploy to attract the tourists. Unaware of the horrors hiding underneath the mansion, the visitors soon realize that the true legend of the manor is far more gruesome and terrifying. This is the horror in its purest form. This is the curse of Valburga.

''...a dark horror-comedy with a cynical sense of humor and a punk-attired killer ...a slaughter-horse of a different color with a fascinating villain and a blindsiding coven of flesh-craving basement dwellers that pivot the narrative in a wild direction''

Steven Lewis (It's Blogging Evil, 2022)

''A Slovenian Vampire Film Worth Sinking Your Teeth Into.''

Shawn Parks (Gruesome Magazine, 2022)

''...a full-fledged slasher."

Dante Turey (10th Circle, 2021)
