After the mysterious death of their powerful patriarch, the wealthy Wendolyn family is pulled back together, only to find that a dark force feeds on their greed and ambition. As rival siblings and relatives squabble over inheritance and power, an ancient curse begins to unravel everything they once controlled, with vengeance and supernatural danger rising from within their own walls.
Breed of Greed is a 2025 American supernatural thriller directed and co-written by Ralph Hemecker, with a screenplay by Hemecker, Andrew Boszhardt, and Otto Eckstein.
