Jeffrey M. Anderson

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

The intriguing premise never reaches its potential.

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.

Very poor results, considering it starts with a great concept and setting. The first twist makes no sense, and the second twist you can see coming a mile away. Not scary at all either. Total waste of Bob Gunton's talents

What could have been a interesting premise is ruined by poor acting and bad script.

I wanted a movie on in the background while I multitask. I couldn't even have this on for that purpose it was that bad. Rather have TV off.

Was as fun as Ready or not or Would You Rather. Honestly don’t understand the hate on this film. To me it was just as fun as those 2 which are laudably rated as awesome.
