The Inheritance

Started off really well and I do like movies set in eastern europe, it gives them a dark and mysterious quality ever since Hostel came to the forefront but unfortunately although the film has some good atmosphere it lacks any scares and so many questions unanswered...like... who were the men outside? Why were they guarding the house? And who wanted to buy it? And the ending...what the heck was that all about? Even more laughable is the need to insert an extra scene mid or end credits but in this case for no apparent reason whatsoever.

I am afraid the acting was also pretty lame especially the boyfriend although most of the Russian actors beat the main ones into a cocked hat.

If you are going to write a horror movie then at least make it intelligible with a few frights or small scares.

Could have been good but like most low budget horror these days it just has no idea what it wants to be or how to accomplish it!

Only thing good about this movie is a small twist in the end otherwise ridiculous acting (Peter) , no explanations to sub plots, no scary scenes.

I wish there were more details as to whether they killed her husband or just beat him. Ending many lose ends; did she go back into the house or her ghost ? Did husband reappear ? Did she fix the house and rent ?

...the humans? Awful. Except for Sasha. Maybe it wasn't their fault, as the script was nonsensical. Or maybe it was just translated poorly? I don't know.

Other than Sasha, the characters were unlikable, wooden, almost robot like.

The secondary characters were bizarre, rude, or lazy.

The house, though, was gorgeous. Whoever filmed it did a nice job.

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good either.

I only gave it two stars because the mansion setting was so atmospheric.

Everything else was execrable. The dialogue was appalling and there were so many non- sequiturs I stopped paying attention.

The money spent making this film was utterly wasted.
