Hey! I don’t know if you already know The Bequeathed, a Korean thriller on Netflix, but is beautiful! It talks about a brother and sister incest and does so in a delicate, kind, emotional way, without condemnation. The ending then consecrates the couple - it is so nice! I recommend it! 🎉

The Bequeathed

Ooh, new canon, very exciting!

After the death of an unknown uncle, a woman inherits a burial ground and finds herself in the center of a string of murders and dark secrets.

Sounds very intriguing. This is definitely on my to-watch list now.

Thank you, Anon!

This should have been a two hour movie.

Maybe an hour and forty minutes.

1/10. I like noir, I like occult thrillers, I even like slow burn mysteries. I did not like this.

I'd like to think I left some unforgettable moment, no matter how short, in the life of everyone I know.

My family and friends to know they were Loved and a Important part of my Life.

The Bequeathed was interesting in that it was equally frustrating as it was at least entertaining. Like I enjoyed the attempt at delving into gothic drama and mystery in this rural setting but it provided the bare minimum amount of narrative heaft required to pull it off so when the "twist" came the impact was lackluster and maybe a bit too predictable if you are familiar with common beats within these genres.

It had 2/3 strong ideas between its 2 sets of (maybe even 3) main characters but they felt like samples of each concept with thin threads to bind them and it honestly could've worked sooo much better by either editing down one or the other to make it a movie OR gotten more episodes to expand these ideas it wouldve been stellar. Some might say expansion is a bad idea cause they found it too slow but I found the pacing very steady and typical for a mystery!

My biggest complaint with it though was that it made the central figure who sort of has all this shit thrust upon them and become the center of a swirl of chaos become increasingly hard to empathize with despite the work in the beginning to do so lol and it never really pushes them enough to be likabley bad or morally grey, but more so ultimately pathetic or even incredibly foolish in later decisions.

But other wise its like a 6.5/10???
