Common Sense Media

This spending-the-night-in-a-creepy-mansion horror thriller falls resoundingly flat due to its one-note characters, forced plot twists, and absurd behavior of the most ridiculously clichéd nature.

Rated: 2/5

We Live Entertainment

Director Alejandro Brugués tries to get mileage out of the house and his more screen-ready stars (Gunton, Peyton List, Briana Middleton, David Walton), but there’s a real blandness that comes from both limited means and a lack of imagination.

Rated: 4/10

Bloody Disgusting

The Inheritance has a pervasive “half-way there” vibe throughout. For every element that works, there’s another that doesn’t and the film ultimately plays like a paint by numbers pastiche of other (often better) horror films.

Rated: 3/5

One Guy's Opinion

While there’s considerable stylishness on display here, and it’s nice to see Gunton play a larger role than usual, this is a horror thriller that ultimately unravels disappointingly.

Rated: C-

Despite its derivative nature, The Inheritance could have been very enjoyable if the script was stronger.

The plot was unique, the acting was good, the script was somewhat predictable, overall it was okay.

Could have been good. Whoever gave David Walton a chance at being a actor should be fired. The dudes obnoxiousness ruined most of the movie and for some reason it seemed like every body was mimicking him from time to time.

A different take on The House of Usher, but with shoddy execution. It has moments that are interesting, and make you feel as if watching was almost worth it. The movie ultimately falls short and offers a mediocre to slightly entertaining experience.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Some predictable areas of the film but entertaining. That is what I look for in a film entertainment. If you are looking for a film to ease yourself into thrillers this would be a good one. Some scares but nothing crazy.

2024's 'The Inheritance' treads a lot of old ground and not in a good way unfortunately. SYNOPSIS: 'A billionaire on the eve of his 75th birthday, invites his estranged children back home out of fear that tonight someone or something is going to kill him. He puts each of their inheritances on the line, to make sure they'll help.' This film may as well not exist as it's so bland and boring, whilst taking a tried old concept and just repeating so many tropes which just aren't scary anymore. It's not terrible but it’s merely a paint by numbers generational survival horror. Something I've certainly had enough of. It also treats the viewer as an idiot with endless explanations of what's going and, eventually, the most obvious ending possible. Horror this is not. 4/10
