There is so much wrong with this movie, and none of what's wrong is a mistake. These are all bad choices made by the writers and director.

Firstly, why are our 2 main characters so unlikable? Why give them both a terrible personality, that makes them impossible to root for?? Why have vague and unexplained references to some kind of crime syndicate?

The writing and the dialogue was offensively bad. Here is just one of one thousand examples of stupid, terrible and useless interactions: woman says to man "Are you going to tell me what's going on in this place?" Man replies "sure, you're going to find out sooner or later." Woman angrily replies "what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Man says "Ok, well here are some papers for you to sign." That's it. Absolutely no mention of the previous exchange, or any explanation of what's going on. Everything was like that. Just stupid sentences, one after the other, with no connection to moving a story forward, just falsely creating fake tension. Insulting.

The ending is so profoundly stupid, it made me want to throw a brick at my screen... The forced tenderness of the line "Babushka" was incredibly disingenuous. This is a woman this character has never met or interacted with. Her whole life was with this 'other' grandma (the maid.) Why is she so loyal and intent on avenging a woman she has never laid eyes on or interacted with? And then, why go down to the car with your luggage, only to stay on the street and then go back in the house. Also, what kind of visa does this stupid American have? She's just going to live in Kiev now? What the hell?

Everything was stupid. Definitely don't waste your time or your money.

The Inheritance (2020) is a movie currently available on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a woman who unexpectedly inherits a house from a family member in Europe she never knew existed. Her and a group of friends go over to the house to discover what she's inherited. Once inside the house it quickly becomes apparent they may never get out.... This movie is codirected by Chad Barager (directorial debut) and Kevin Speckmaier (Middle Men) and stars Natalia Ryumina (Their Finest),Andrea Stefancikova (Carona),Nick Wittman (Rambo: Last Blood) and Valeria Dymova (303). The settings of this film are beautiful and well selected. The storyline is cliche and the eerie elements and kill scenes were kind of blah. The acting is just okay but they weren't really aided by dynamically written characters or plot to execute. There wasn't enough scare elements in this film to make it worthwhile for me. This is a film that is okay to throw on if you're just killing time and can't find anything better to watch. I'd score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

In what could have been an interesting and atmospheric horror movie, fell apart due to the truly bad acting. I mean it's really, really bad. Not even "funny" bad just annoyingly bad.

The storyline is decent (but nothing new),camerawork is ok (not great),the setting is interesting and there is some moderate suspense. Some cheap surprises you can see a mile away and, again, nothing fresh.

Overall a pretty bad movie, mostly due to the acting. Strong actors could have saved this movie from itself.
