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.

Just finished watching this movie an hour ago and it was very mediocre.

Positives for The Inheritance (2024): The performances from the cast are good for the most part. I liked the setting of this mansion for the movie. And finally, I liked how the movie's ending as I was very satisfied with it.

Negatives for The Inheritance (2024): This movie is very predictable from the start. As soon as the father of the this family tells them why he wanted them there, it's so blatantly obvious how the movie is going to play out and by the end of it, I was right about the movie. And finally, the characters are very bland and one note.

Overall, The Inheritance (2024) is a very mediocre haunted house movie that people will probably forget about after they watch it.

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.

This movie could have been so much better with the right screenwriter. The premise is very intriguing, it is just the screenplay that is poorly done. This could have been a very clever, fun Knives Out-type scary movie. Knives Out is a typical dysfunctional family mystery movie with a clever plot. This is similar, but the story is just really bad.

The Patriarch of a wealthy family gathers his heirs around to read his will, everybody will get a piece of his estate, but only if he survives the night. Someone is out to get him but who? (Fascinating right?). That is the hook. Then mayhem unfolds like most horror movies, then the plot thickens. The characters are all pretty archetypical, which is fine, but the dialogue is really cringy.

The Acting besides Peyton List is also subpar, it some scenes it is downright laughable.

This could have been so much better......smh.

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.
