‘The Inheritance’ shows a level of promise upon which it never fully delivers.

2/5

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.

The intriguing premise never reaches its potential.

4/10

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.

3/5

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.

C-

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.
