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.

As with all black comedy, audience reactions will vary by taste. We found this one most peculiar. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 01/21/2022
The Estate is a slick dark-comic thriller-ish endeavor, but it's shallow, tonally uneven and only infrequently funny. Go to Full Review
Tara McNamara Common Sense Media 10/27/2021
2/5
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. Go to Full Review

Slick and stylish, but toothless, unfunny and, much like its characters, vapid. Go to Full Review
Molly Adams In Review Online 10/23/2021
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. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 10/22/2021
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. Go to Full Review

Jeremy A 08/13/2024 Such a twisted dark comedy. I enjoyed it. 4* See more Will B 12/14/2023 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. See more 11/07/2021 Amateurish and filled with reality show characters you wouldn't want to spend a minute with. See more 11/05/2021 Some great laugh out loud moments to be had from this camp, crime caper. It's silly, it's saucy, it's good fun. See more 10/29/2021 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! See more 10/29/2021 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.
