The Inheritance

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.

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.

I recently watched The Inheritance (2024) on Hulu. The storyline follows a billionaire who gathers his family and associates at his estate, informing them that something-or someone-is trying to kill him and is already inside the house. He locks everyone in until they can figure out who or what is behind it. As people start dying while trying to protect him, the inheritance is passed on to the surviving family members. But can anyone stop what's happening, or are they all doomed?

Directed by Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead), the film stars Bob Gunton (The Shawshank Redemption), Peyton List (27 Dresses), Briana Middleton (The Silent Planet), and Rachel Nichols (G. I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra).

The cast delivers solid, authentic performances, but the storyline feels overly familiar, resembling Ready or Not in many ways. While there's an air of mystery surrounding the events, the horror elements are hit or miss. Some of the ghostly CGI effects are entertaining, but the film lacks memorable kills. The plot is predictable, and the conclusion feels both cheesy and straightforward.

In conclusion, The Inheritance is a below-average addition to the horror genre, worth watching only if you have no better options. I'd score it a 4/10.

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.
