The Inheritance (2024)

It is possible that you have seen this movie a few hundred times or more and in more than one version. The premise is a little bit out of place: these unfortunate souls from the onscreen crew are stuck overnight in a building. Their reward is a cash prize, if they somehow manage to survive the night and get to the morning. The actors try to deal with such tasks with varying degrees of confidence, doubt or adroitness – anyways, the last impression is that all actors are getting angrier and angrier. In the beginning, when hoping dies for one person, they are executed and the rest start bashing their chest until one after another stars are put off with the most famous ones being put first. There are times when the last person left almost always noses off the cash to some degree or doesn’t care about it at all for entertainment purposes.

In this case, what makes the annual sitting of the film as the best horror movie surpassing even House on Haunted Hill of 1959 along with its remakes in 1999, Escape Room (2019), the serials, and Providence and Ready or Not (2020) , the US conflict Abigail and Human.  

Like the other previously mentioned, The Inheritance is equally unremarkable as within this genre it also is but with supernatural elements stitched into it, not that it meaningfully shifts the genre in any way.  

And this is where the absurd begins the signing of a document commences alongside invoicing murmurs which silence the confusion that comes with the unknown document in my opinion isn’t the most stimulating way to commence an event, and surely enough, the following events weren’t that stimulating too.

It is confirmed that they recognize him within the family. Consider it not just being a family gathering, but rather a family painting. This, American historian Samaneh Khosravi makes it sufficiently more specific by narrowing the number of Abernathy’s kids to the breathtaking figure of eight and as it so happens, all of them appear to be a trifle overgrown. Some of the more poorly tempered ones are Madeline (Rachel Nichols), the nastiest and the most masculine of the women, Boss Lady, and Brother C. J. (David Walton), a nasty schemer. The youngest, Kami(Peyton List), is a starry-eyed social media “has it” influencer with fashion interests but little talent. Drew plays the part of eye-candy audience filler, and his wife Hannah is Miss America. The only difference between the shows is that there are no intervals during the charity, and as a married couple, they are always rather serene.to The charity is run without intermissions, unlike other shows, and the couple is rather calm even in front of their children. Drew is awkwardly quiet and rather unimpressive, more of a supporting actor in the picture which, for his wives, is rather intricate and complicated is an understatement.

Fascinating as well as extremely loud birth of a portrait of an eight children family but because of drawing conflicts it is surprising that it appears to be a single track and in the pits. It is only when nearly all the others protesting that Drew crosses the boundary that Charles attempts to diffuse the situation: ” There is a milestone which is not possible to overlook. That’s a Milestone that is forever etched into the time of all mankind.” 

He says that the contract will be completed by the next night and he adds that the children have been making reports against him. Now this is a funny situation in relation to Charles’ children: Every one of the children of Charles has a reason to wish for their daddy not to die as each of them stands to get billions. However, Charles restricts Hannah to the preference of close relatives only because she is not a close relative. But in the contradictory role, she opens by claiming that she does not need the UN membership and that she herself is an Abernathy.

In such a case, they stand to earn nothing, and the riches are directed towards a certain organization – a nonprofit that gets jeers from everyone else barring Drew and Hannah. And in addition to this, the entire area is going to be kept inside the mansion until tomorrow since doors and windows are boarded making the mansion indeed unfleeced even after the sunlight makes it’s way inside. Sorry what was the conundrum about whether someone needs Charles to be dead or someone actually needs Charles to die This is too bizarre looking at their facial expression, literally, none of them want to interrogate which they should indeed have of him because they did not want to bother their father and this is why it is fascinatingly baffling to suppose the eldest son or daughter shortly touches upon the issue although it does not go straight to the point. However, bearing in mind the fact that Charles is a fan of Faust, it is rather obvious for the viewer what is going to happen next. 

The problem however is that what borders the frame the inheritance film 2024 is actually of no concern to the said characters as people.

In the opposite regard, Chris La Mont and Joe Russo from the Absolutely American Writers‟ Legion spared us a lot of trouble in this sphere as well since they did not waste too much socializing as they painted realistic friendships. 

Look at how the ‘youngsters’ get out of their current reality. It is quite upsetting and considering the circumstances it is very possible that any sort of strategies or even ideas could be formed. For some inexplicable reason, they disperse and wander around the enigmatic house within the dark, but only for purposes that remain a mystery. Moreover, it is meant for ill omen signs: a billiard table that seemingly replaces itself, a toy monkey that apparently winds itself up, and two hiding people beneath a curtain.

C.J. considers themselves equal to their father, for he is still the emotionally rich parent, but they can still feel envy and insecurity within them. For one reason or the other, they find it suffocating. As these feelings stem from their weak sense of self, the two find Drew and Hannah to be their enemies instead.

Being directed by Alejandro Brugués, The Inheritance is his second widely shown work having previously in 2011 with Juan of the Dead and later in Nightmare Cinema 2018 and Satanic Hispanics 2022. And indeed, the intelligent poise that peeks through horror elements can be traced in a steam-filled indoor pool night sequence where Kami (an interesting character) is set in a watery night environment. It bears some resemblance to Jaws but in an inverted way. The movement’s surface surrounds him instead i.e. he is placed vertically in the center of the action. Throughout this time, Brugués places the angle of the camera and the position of the camera exactly under the water and as Brugués fits an image wherein the character is pinned under the water in a pool and she is sitting on the edge with her feet dangling out. Everything combined created a sense of tension and so it was predictable that there was plenty half a minute later.

They caught something, swam with it around on top of the pool, and then held it above their heads in fits of laughter.  

Eyes viewed from below focused on the feet which after the lapse of time are playing together, warding off red particles leading us to a plain conclusion that parts must be of the bloody ilk.

It is regrettable that the movie goes back to its dull qualities after such an enthusiastic introduction since the siblings are unconcerned about the missing Kami. They do not appear to be interested in the transitions from one action to the next and the corresponding duties at all, and if that is the case, it is not due to their cruelty, the narrative is indeed that excruciating. Kami’s ghost once again features in the narrative: in one scene, A Casper-like apparition resembling Kami’s fading image rises from a painting. It appears to be a sloppy copy of the Devil’s Backbone and Drag Me to Hell. There’s yet another scene, in the basement, where sculptures seem to depict, ‘What do you think you’re doing Drew and Hannah, trying to leave the house’? These patterns seem to recur: families have a practice of hitting the two-sided pieces on the door to join up. All in all, it is the fact that here the authors display the utmost lack of fantasy that attains its highest level. Most of these concepts are clearly outdated anyway, and the treatment is still lacking energy. 

Those who at the end of the day would only want to watch Inheritance expect it to come out very rarely and might have more chances of getting entertained when doing so around midnight.

Still, the themes are more or less similar, for example, the wealthy people are the worst theme. It would appear as though this character and plot line had already been done only in a more refined manner.

For such a film that has been adapted a lot, this one does not possess much that has not been highlighted in this controversial plot, and also I find no cause as to why it should be pitted against this and this other 2024 work. Those skeletal of dreadful moments mentioned earlier alongside the rest that were not talked about do not let down. But the film does possess proof of claim which to anyone who has seen one of Brugués’ other films has been apparent; he is quite a talented director albeit with bad films in him. After all, as the adage rightfully has it in the world of filmmaking, no matter what a quality director you are the best he can do if the material is bad is to fail in the performance.
