I just watched "Inheritance" this evening and really enjoyed it. I was surprised at the beginning due to their being no lens filter (it felt strange) but oddly enough, I started to enjoy the stark look - it was quite out there and actually made the film scarier.If you decide to see this film, it would be unfair to judge it against big production (budget) movies. This is an independent film and I think it does a great job for what it is. The acting is not at all bad and I do think some of the reviews here are unfair. Marjorie Nelson's character was positively creepy and Jen Taylor was believable and likable.If you want something fresh, different and definitely scary, then you can't go wrong with this film.

I wouldn't bother writing a review, but looking on the site it really is painfully obvious that director, his friends and cast are responsible for most of the reviews here.I have seen things worse than this, but this is towards the bottom. The lead actors are just barely OK and generally have no presence. The lesser actors are pretty much hopeless.The direction is very much of the this happens, then this happens school of thought. There's very little grasp here of how moments feel or tie together. Basically someone got a camera and had some people read some lines in front of it. There's nothing more than this going on here.The cinematography is very stiff and slightly over lit.Looking at the efforts made here to try to promote this film, it is possible they spent more time on marketing it, then on writing their screenplay.Not much else to say. Congratulations guys, you managed to make a movie with no resources (it is tough). It's just not a very good movie.

what a waste of money.I seriously want to go back to the video shop to get my money back. I mean, how did this even make it to Australia???? The film is shot without a filter and has absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever! The acting was terrible, the script was a total waste of paper and the cinematography.... what cinematography? All the action takes place in one house, with some crappy bluescreen scenes for good meassure. Honestly, I've seen homemade porno films with more ambiance. In fact I was disappointed that it wasn't a porno. My boyfriend and I fast forwarded the whole thing to see the sex scene and it was the lamest thing ever.I just don't understand how this movie was even made! Who funded it?, where'd the money come from? The amount of time and effort put in to this could have helped the UN children's fund or something. So far the only thing they have achieved is a heap of bad reviews on IMDb and a few fake glowing ones that I'm sure the the filmmakers wrote themselves.Not scary. Not even funny.I feel so ripped off.

A tight little thriller that plays more on the intellect than the gut, although there were definitely a couple of scenes that had me quite tense. Nelson and Taylor give fine performances, and the camera work and pacing keep your interest throughout. The avoidance of clichéd "jump scenes", and the fact that most of this suspense/thriller flick is shot in daylight provides a pleasant contrast to the now mundane teen slasher/startlers, and adds increased drama to the scenes that are set at night or in darkened surroundings. The ending is also quite satisfying, allowing you to think for yourself and decide which of several possible explanations for the events in the movie is the solution. Thumbs up!
