An unknown killer is going to kill Charles Abernathy unless his family can help. It stars Peyton List, Rachel Nichols, Austin Stowell, Bob Gunton, David Walton, and Briana Middleton. Each of the family members takes up the mantle of familial archetypes. Kami (Peyton List) is the traditional younger sibling, has everything catered to her, and is also chronically online and on her phone. Drew (Austin Stowell) is the “good son”; he’s into charity and vastly different from the rest of his siblings. Drew is married to Hannah (Brianna Middleton), who is a new addition to the family and taken to Charles like a daughter, except his other two kids, Madeline (Rachel Nichols) and C.J. (David Walton), despise her.
Why Is The Inheritance Suddenly Trending On Hulu?
Why is The Inheritance suddenly trending? Who knows! The robot algorithm of Hulu, audiences looking for a nice horror movie to ring in the new year, or maybe they just had to spend a bunch of time with their family and they want to see a movie where crappy siblings get their comeuppance.
Either way, the movie does a good job of blending some previous genre stuff in horror and other movies and making it its own. Here’s what we had to say in our 86% review from 2024.
For those body horror hounds out there, The Inheritance even verges into that territory with some of the monster and effects in the film. Don’t let the jokey sort of exterior of the film fool you, The Inheritance still packs plenty of punch. If you’re in the mood for a mish-mash of genres with some creatures, familial dynamics turned upside down, and even a vault-escape; The Inheritance is for you.
