The Inheritance
A woman's inheritance leads her to Eastern Europe to uncover a dark and disturbing family secret.
Why it matters
A slow-burning folk horror that mines Eastern European atmosphere to unravel ancestral curses and buried traumas.
- Imbued with grim, rural landscapes that evoke the best of folk horror’s creeping dread without relying on cheap jump scares.
- A haunting lead performance anchors a story about family secrets that bleed into supernatural terror.
- For fans of slow-burn psychological horror who appreciate tension built through mood and mystery over gore.
- Less polished than its festival peers, but its cultural specificity and unsettling vibe offer a fresh take on inheritance-as-curse narratives.
