This movie had a decent buildup the first fifteen minutes. Everything
following is for the worse. The story itself is pretty simple. The way
it was told however was very confusing. Also the main actors haven't
got a clue what to do with the material. At the climax this becomes
clear when the lead actress acts surprised when she is told something.
Completely forgetting that she already discovered this several scenes
ago. Confusion is one thing but lack of suspense is not something that
can be overlooked in a movie like this. Therefore Heirloom could be
conceived as a drama with some supernatural elements. Only without any
sympathy for the characters on screen or real emotions shown it does
make it difficult to be touched. It did bother me though that apart
from one or two scenes they didn't show much that could be considered
supernatural. The movie doesn't show anything that would make sense of
what is going on. It is like scenes were cut that otherwise would
provide better transitions between scenes. The viewer just has to
accept it without questioning anything. But even then it is hard liking
this movie when essentially not much is going on. In short, don't waste
your time with this one.
