Inheritance
 
Review by BRIAN MILLER
SEATTLE WEEKLY - June 18-24, 2003
 
FRIDAY FILM
INHERITANCE
The pick of the "Local Sightings" series, this well-made little paranormal thriller tells the story of a young woman (Jen Taylor) who may be possessed by the spirit of a dead old crone. Or maybe she's just schizo -- Inheritance wisely doesn't tip its hand; it just builds with deliberate Rosemary's Baby- style unease as the young woman gradually begins mimicking her deceased employer, donning elegant '30s frocks and ditching her slacker friends. Director Kris Kristensen and co-writer/producer Brian McDonald know how to tell a story and have a firm grasp of film grammar. Other local filmmakers in the series could learn a lot from their example.
