After searching through Prime Video I came across the trailer for 'The Inheritance.' My wife and I thought the trailer looked decent enough, and figured it would be a good way to pass an hour and a half. The premise seemed solid, a tried and true thriller/horror setup. Maybe this film would break the mold a bit.
Well...it didn't.
The story of Sasha and her husband Peter was a very slow and eventually confusing series of things happening without much reason or setup.
Peter leaves Sasha alone in this strange, huge manor in The Ukraine and basically disappears for days without explanation. Sasha's reaction to this is barely concerned or upset. Where did he go?
The acting is emotionless and tired. I'm sure the actors involved gave their best, but no one stood out. There really was nobody to root for. Even Sasha, the lead in this film, was hard to get behind. Peter, the husband, was totally useless.
The cinematography was fine, the the interior shots of the manor were beautiful. The external shots were pleasant, highlighting the lovely filming location.
Overall, a very forgettable movie that left me with more questions than answers. Questions like "How was this movie greenlit" and "Did anyone involved actually watch the movie" bounced around in my head.
I guess it wasn't a total waste of time. It helped to cast a light on things that I DON'T enjoy in a movie, so there's that.
