“You don’t deserve none of this. It’s my house.” Gravitas has unveiled the trailer for a Serbian folk horror film called Mudbrick, an indie genre creation from filmmaker Nikola Petrovic. This first premiered at the 2023 Terror Molins Film Festival, and played at many other genre fests over the last year. After inheriting an old mudbrick house in his home village in Eastern Europe, a man returns after spending his whole life in England, only to find out that inhabitants are hiding a dark secret about the pagan Slavic cult and his own past. Paul discovers the decaying walls harbor not just memories but a cyclical curse. Now faced with the malevolent god Veles and the consequences of a desperate pact, he must navigate a path of familial tragedy, chilling revelations, and a fiery reckoning in this horror tale. This stars Philip Brodie, Andrew Howard, Kamka Tocinovski, Dusica Nastova, Joakim Tasic, Predrag Momcilovic, & Lauren Sivan. It also features a creepy snake that torments all of these people! Much scarier than any of the Harry Potter snakes.
Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Nikola Petrovic’s horror film Mudbrick, direct from YouTube:
In the haunting tale of Mudbrick, Paul’s return to his Serbian roots unearths a broken-down family home held hostage by secrets. As he confronts his estranged brother Jakov a chilling web of runes, totems, and whispered names ensnares him in a sinister dance with Slavic folklore. Unraveling a past woven with dark rituals and tragic choices, Paul discovers that the decaying walls harbor not just memories but a cyclical curse. Faced with the malevolent god Veles and the consequences of a desperate pact, he must navigate a treacherous path of familial tragedy, chilling revelations, and a fiery reckoning that echoes through the ages. Mudbrick is written and directed by Serbian indie filmmaker Nikola Petrovic, making his second feature film after directing Dogs Die Alone previously and a few other short films. Produced by John Henry Hinkel and Aleksandar Protic. This initially premiered at the 2023 Terror Molins Film Festival in Spain. Gravitas will release Petrovic’s Mudbrick horror film direct-to-VOD on December 13th, 2024.
