First-time feature director James Kapner deftly balances humor and horror, using his keen eye to develop a perfectly campy, Ryan Murphy-esque world. When a narcissistic son (Chris Baker) yearning for a life of luxury and his father’s erratic gold-digging wife (Eliza Coupe) decide to kill their way into their inheritance, they employ the help of an absurdly handsome, mysterious hitman (Greg Finley), initiating a psychosexual love triangle that spirals into more than anyone bargained for.

David Reddish Queerty As with all black comedy, audience reactions will vary by taste. We found this one most peculiar. Rated: 2/4 Mar 13, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider The Estate is a slick dark-comic thriller-ish endeavor, but it's shallow, tonally uneven and only infrequently funny. Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media This intentionally trashy satire of misplaced priorities among the wealthy strives to be a "so bad it's good" cult classic. And there's enough here that is good that it's too bad that it is, in fact, ultimately so bad. Rated: 2/5 Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Slick and stylish, but toothless, unfunny and, much like its characters, vapid. Rated: 3.1439814/10 Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Molly Adams In Review Online The obligatory jokes about wealth and whiteness...are dangerously close to their expiration date, and beneath the surface, there's unfortunately not all that much substance. Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Trying to balance a sexy satire about greed and entitlement with a bloody thriller about betrayal and revenge, this campy concoction winds up more off-putting than endearing.

Jeremy A Such a twisted dark comedy. I enjoyed it. 4* Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Will B Funny, diabolical, keeps you guessing. I was surprised by the final twist. I definitely recommend this movie if you like a thriller that does not take itself too seriously. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Amateurish and filled with reality show characters you wouldn't want to spend a minute with. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Some great laugh out loud moments to be had from this camp, crime caper. It's silly, it's saucy, it's good fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Campy, fun, witty, and sexy! Baker is magnetic, the lines are laugh out loud funny, and it doesn't take itself too seriously, which is makes it all the more compelling and refreshing to watch. Had so much fun watching it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Delicious! Unflinching and fresh, with full-throttle performances by the cast, and propelled by a witty, smart script. This was a lot of fun and a standout from the pack. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
