Inheritance

The worst movie I have ever seen. No value on any level. Terrible script, dialogue, acting, direction. I hope I forget everything about this movie. Don't waste your time.

Hands down the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. I am absolutely gutted that I wasted 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. There was no storyline whatsoever, I cannot tell you anything that happened in this film as nothing did. It was like watching a stranger in his life walking and sitting for 90 minutes. Nothing made sense, it was beyond slow and super boring and totally pointless. I have no idea what the film is about or what happened. Please do not watch. You will regret it.

Slow burn really isn't the word, because it was just so boring, and had no pay off. What even happened to the plot? The 3 sentence synopsis I read before deciding to watch it, is honestly the entire plot, there's nothing extra to add by watching it.

There's some kind of "second cousin" that the script didn't know what to do with really. The main character spends a lot of time silent, which adds to the dull.

The story isn't explained much, where is the horror in this film? I honestly don't get why it has that label, it's not a horror film. Honestly it was just really dull. I couldn't even tick spoilers, because honestly it's all in the synopsis of the film. There's no spoilers.

There is no story here, only a collection of ideas, not one of which is ever fleshed out enough to be coherent. Waste of money, talent, and time. Where are the real storytellers anymore? This director has no clue what he's doing.

*** REVIEW UPDATED 2019-12-30 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.6...? Seriously...? Pretty harsh for what in my lowly and wretched opinion is pretty good film. YES, it is ULTRA-slow. YES, it is completely ambiguous. But, that is the point... It fits the mood of the story.

What people seem to have forgotten is, at least what is important to me when I come here to read reviews, is, 'Is the movie made well?' And to me, the clear answer for this film is 'Yes' Moody, slow-building, LOTS of David Lynch influenced cinematography and atmosphere to spare. Sure, for a lot of people I understand that this kind of Horror just isn't their thing. I can see where to some a movie like this would certainly come across as B-O-R-I-N-G.

Just out of curiosity, I looked at a number of reviews on different sites for this movie, and most praise it fairly highly for it's slow-build subtlety and very keen and effective sense of dread, which is greatly increased by a powerfully effective soundtrack.

So, basically I feel that is the bottom line here. And, don't get me wrong, I frigg'n LOVE over-the-top Horror films like 'RE-ANIMATOR' and such. I think they are GREAT! But... I also really appreciate very serious, restrained, tension-building, dread-filled Horror where Atmosphere is everything (BTW, if you do happen to like this kind of film, I HIGHLY recommend the Psychological masterpiece 'SESSION 9')

This one definitely has a more Artsy approach which understandably will clearly not work for everyone. But, just to rate this well acted and extremely well photographed / edited / directed movie and give it a '1' or a '3' just doesn't make sense and doesn't really do anything to help others who like me really appreciate this kind of rare, quality, slow-burn Horror film. To me anyway FWIW, it certainly beats the living $hit outta most of the superficial and somewhat mindless Horror on cable these days...

This one truly engages your imagination...
