What to Know

Critics Consensus

A would-be thriller that waits far too long to embrace the daffy potential of its bizarre premise, this Inheritance should be steadfastly refused.

The characters are paper-thin and, even on paper, their motivations don't make much sense. Go to Full Review

Alas, in the third act Matthew Kennedy’s screenplay devolves into thriller-film cliches... and it cannot outrun the many improbabilities we’re asked to swallow to keep the yarn moving. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
As entertaining as it can be, “Inheritance” never rises above its rather silly premise. It leaves too many questions unanswered, has too many head-scratching moments, and doesn’t quite muster the mystery or excitement it needs. Go to Full Review
Josh Parham Next Best Picture 06/05/2022
Still, the story as a whole never becomes that alluring and it leads to weak characterizations, shallow themes, and an ending that values shocking reveals and tiresome exposition. Go to Full Review

Maikel F Aug 20 I've never seen a movie repeatedly get worse as it progresses as much as this one did. It's so bad it feels intentional. Lilly Collins is a bad as she's always been, Simon Pegg is interesting until the last 10 minutes, when he suddenly drops any sign of range you would have thought he got on this movie. I saw this movie in a streaming platform in Spain called Filmin and it made me so angry I cancelled my yearly subscription. See more Mar 21 I saw this one with zero expectations and just cause I was bored but ended up liking the film more than I thought, the scenes with Lily and Simon were my favorites and ejoyed a lot the suspense surrounding the big revelation See more Vicente A 12/12/2024 The script is really basic, full of clichés. The situations are inconsistent, unjustified, and it truly is a low-quality movie. See more Sari S 11/02/2024 Horrible. The actress is the worst, See more William B 10/11/2024 Not as bad as everyone makes it seems. One of the better movies I picked out from impulse at Dollar Tree. See more ingrid j 09/22/2024 I enjoyed the suspense and the gradual unfolding of the details of the story, all of which climaxed in an ending that was plausible but not obvious. The acting was good and the story was original. I'm not a of fan of horror movies, preferring ones that have you on the edge of your seat but without a lot of gore and silly apparitions type stuff.
