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.

Donald Clarke Irish Times Just awful. Rated: 1/5 Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Ellen E Jones Guardian The characters are paper-thin and, even on paper, their motivations don't make much sense. Rated: 1/5 Jul 3, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com A script that didn't think past the trailer. Rated: 2/4 May 22, 2020 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 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. Rated: C Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture 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.

Sari S Horrible. The actress is the worst, Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review William B Not as bad as everyone makes it seems. One of the better movies I picked out from impulse at Dollar Tree. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review ingrid j 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Shannon F Started off interesting. I could tell what the ending was going to be and who Morgan was midway through the movie. I only continued to keep watching it so I could prove my self right. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Daniel G All the slickness of the movie couldn't cover up the unnecessary side plots or the holes in the story. It did keep our attention throughout, but was not really satisfying. Plus, it's a bit tough to have empathy for stinking rich people's problems. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Kevin B The premise was captivating enough but there were too many strikes to call it a good movie. The lead actress's performance was flat...she was so stern and demanding the entire movie. The plot was extremely implausible. There is no character development, just a long sequence of attempted 'gotcha' moments before the movie ends. And the movie does nothing meaningful with the supporting characters...I questioned why they even existed. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
