STATUS: PRE-PRODUCTION
Lovita Cinema is excited to announce production on the feature-length film, Valenti House. Inspired by the British style and aesthetic of Hammer and Amicus horror films of the early 1970s - the story is brought up to date with modernized storytelling and characters to make for a deliciously grisly cocktail of horror that tastefully blends the decades behind it with the present, and those yet to come.
Plot Summary: Once the crown jewel of a wealthy hotel empire, The Valenti House now sits in eerie seclusion, ruled by its last mistress—Viktoria Valenti, a beautiful and glamorous recluse stricken by illness and desperate to preserve her dynasty.
Decades earlier, Viktoria’s black-sheep sister died under tragic circumstances, and her three infant children were adopted away into separate families; erased from the Valenti legacy. Now grown and strangers to one another, each sibling receives a mysterious invitation from Viktoria, promising both a chance for reunion, and a share in her vast inheritance.
As soon as they enter past its velvet curtains, the guests are quickly unsettled not only by the hotel’s decaying grandeur, but also it’s peculiar staff and ghoulish townsfolk who haunt the candle-lit hallways. As the night falls and the guests begin to suspect that Viktoria’s intentions may be much more sinister, one thing becomes certain - the Valenti legacy is preserved by the bloodline, and the hunger for it is insatiable!
