Inheritance

*** 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...

Boring. Constant shots of lead male grimacing. Over-use of cliche horror ambiance music with ZERO reason in horror or suspense. Fell asleep 4 times during this. Trust me....skip it. Dont listen to the good reviews. Indie this is. Good it is not.

This was the most BORING movie I have ever watched in my life......I was waiting and waiting for the suspense to happen but it didn't!!! How dare they say "Horror" there was not one horror scene in that movie. This was a very very slow drama with no point at all.

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.

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.
