Where to Watch The Inheritance
- eif999March 3, 2025A particularly nasty devilish Japanese noir filled with murder, rape, strippers, and dead babies. All this in a fight to get into an assholes good graces before he dies. American noir would have to skirt past about 70-percent of the evil doing this one has. It’s so wicked I even wonder if I can honestly call it noir. A fine looking black and white with 50s jazz playing though out.
