Logline

Three estranged siblings who inherit their grandmother's remote Scottish estate discover that the house has been doing the family's dirty work for generations — and that they are overdue.

Synopsis

The LAIRD estate has been in the Drummond family for 300 years. MARGARET, PHILIP, and FIONA have not spoken in four years, not since their father's death split the family over a will that left everything to their grandmother. Now she is dead too, and the solicitor's letter says the house can only be kept or sold if all three agree in person. They agree to three days. The house has other ideas. INHERITANCE is a Gothic horror film built on a foundation of family pathology rather than supernatural mythology — the horror mechanics emerge from the house's architecture of secrets rather than any external force. The film is fully crewed, fully financed to 91%, and has confirmed its principal photography start date.
