Who would have guessed the girl who played the role of Emily in Emily in Paris as a sweet, chirpy and outgoing girl could play such an intense and thrilling role of Lauren Elizabeth Monroe in Inheritance? Well, Lily Collins surprised everyone with her performance.
After the movie To the Bones, everyone was waiting for her refined performance to be shown on the big screens. Inheritance received mixed reviews worldwide from various professionals because of its plot, which many thought to be cliche. The horror thriller couldn’t impress the audience because of its far too stretched and dull story.
Nonetheless, we all know this movie starred some brilliant actors who did a fine job on their end. Actors like Lily Collins, Simon Pegg, Connie Nielsen, Chance Crawford, and Patrick Warburton. Produced by Vertical Entertainment.
It is an American thriller movie directed by Vaughn Stein, who is known for his work on Yussef is Complicated, Terminal and Never Let Me Go. It was released on May 22, 2020, during the pandemic, and everyone acted like a film critic, and Inheritance took the hit.
But despite its cliche storyline, you kind of want to stick to the end to know how the story unravels. Because in the end, everything kinda makes sense and gives it a sympathetic end which ends with a bang. Some stories are meant to stay buried, and the more you dig them out, the uglier it gets.

Inheritance Movie: Summary
Lily Collins played the part of Lauren Monroe as a self-righteous, ambitious Manhattan District Attorney who fights against corrupt officials despite being from a super-rich family background. Even though her family is no saint, their crime has still not scratched the surface.
Things changed drastically after the mysterious death of Lauren’s father, Archer, who was in perfect health. Patrick Warburton, who played the role of a father, changes the flow of the movie after his death and leaves a cryptic message for his daughter.
While the rest of the family receives wealth, our main protagonist inherits the cryptic message, which later leads her to the secret underground bunker, where her father has been hiding a man for the last 30 years. The tortured, boney, and chained-up man in a filthy position, played by Simon Pegg, leads the story and tricks Lauren into believing his stories by revealing the mysteries of the family and the father.
Lauren, who is surprised by her family secrets, falls right into the trap of Morgan Warner. He is the black hat of our story, which, first, people believed he needed to save and return to his family. Morgan plays his cards very smartly as he uses every lie very carefully, which makes Lauren question her family.
Morgan takes her to the place where Archer hides the body of the pedestrian who he killed 30 years back to hide the truth from the rest of the world, and he changes Warren for the rest of his life. As she further investigates her father’s life, she gets to know about his illegitimate child with his mistress.
What was more shocking for her was to know that her father bribed the officials so his children could get elected to public office. She releases Morgan as she believes that he was wronged by her family, and she needs to correct that mistake. Despite all the proof, she can’t make peace with her anxiety, so before releasing Morgan, she secretly takes his fingerprint of him.
The question of why the Archer leaves the cryptic message only to his daughter keeps Lauren and the audience in complete agony. She sends the fingerprint for further investigation.
Catherine receives the reports of the investigation and cries out loud when she sees the picture of Morgan inside the file and calls him ‘evil man’ Carson. Till Lauren could process the whole situation, Carson had already kidnapped Catherine and taken her to the same underground bunker.
When Lauren reaches there, she gets to know the real truth about Carson. Thirty years ago, Carson raped Catherine, and that’s why he was locked inside the bunker for the last 30 years. Also, Carson is the real father of Lauren. What a poetic end. Catherine shoots Carson, and Lauren buries his body in the same bunker and leaves him there to disappear forever.
