The Inheritance

So of course they hyped up the trailer right..........its a movie about a demonic spirit coming to collect ova a debt. Its not a bore as some of the reviews states HOWEVER it "definitely" not a classic eitha on anyone's list that's remotely a fan of DECENT horror. Is it worth a watch? Yes it is, as i believe give anything and all things a chance. Were the special effects disappointing? Lets place blame on budget. Was the acting good? Not everyone seemed experienced, was it a decent script? It was fair, the plot twist was good though@ the ending. I WON'T SPOIL IT for those who give the film a chance @ watching it. I am into horror and i can honestly say this didn't make it to any of my list other than being classified as horror to give it a watch..........nothing beyond that.

Some writing is so bland, predictable and boring that people jokingly say they wouldn't be surprised if the script had been written by an AI. In the case of this movie, I would be surprised if this movie _wasn't_ written by ChatGPT.

This is the most bland and predictable plot I've seen in years. It's a better investment of your time to stare at a beige wall for about 80 minutes. It's like you've seen this plot 100 times before, but every similar movie you dig out of the fringes of your memory is more interesting than this one.

Every plot development can be seen coming from a mile away and each character acts like an idiot to move the plot forward.

With a little "genre savvyness" you can guess exactly, around the 12-minute mark, what's going on and how the movie will end. The dialogues are stilted and feel like someone just copied and pasted them from the "Big book of dialogues you've heard 20 times before".

The actors are also terrible, but then again, they had nothing to work with here. Netflix supposedly canned this movie in 2023 even though it was already done, which gives you a good idea of how bad this movie is.

...but not great. It's a good old-fashioned spook show in a great big house where everyone is locked in. It's certainly been done before - and better - but not recently. The score was particularly good, and Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, B. C. is suitably creepy. Another reviewer already mentioned several of the actors are rather wooden and in need of an acting coach, but that's easy to overlook - for heaven's sake, they're Canadian - give them a break! I think what I like about it is it's a pretty straightforward haunting, but it doesn't tell you *what's* doing the haunting until close to the end. Overall I give it a 6 for atmosphere and a decent if unoriginal storyline. I wouldn't see it again, but it was worth the $6 I paid Amazon for the rental.

Critics are mixed as you can see here on IMDB, I would recommend this for a Halloween party or something like that, what you need to know if you are in that age group and not a horror fan pre se, is that there's a big scary mansion, plenty rooms and halls and a flock of siblings trapped and haunted by something mysterious caused by their old rich dad. You can stop reading now! Pretty cool movie, somewhat scary,

Clearly this is not for experienced horror fans as they will roll their eyes with all the clichés, this move is complete with ghostly foot prints, pentagrams, secret doors, a locked vault, mysterious statues that move, paintings.. that move.. and so on and so forth, the script is nothing new and the acting is okay. Not that many memorable scenes sadly, but executed well enough if you consider it for a younger audience. Its like poe for dummies.

I saw the writer hype this up on twitter and actually paid money to watch it. If I could ask for a refund I would. Predictable from the moment the premise is revealed. The "actor" that played Drew was awful and took away any sense these people cared about each other. Writing? Horrible. Story? None. Cinematography? High School iPhone realness. This has been done much better by better artists and actors and you can watch it on Netflix. It's called "Fall of the House of Usher". I try to support independent horror. But I can't support this. Shameless rip off of the source material by hacks who can't create a shred of tension or horror.
