i happen to have buy one of those legacy of horror 50 movie pack collection and would you believe i be still look through them to find a good horror movie in it . sometimes you find an enjoyable yet campy one like the devil messenger or the devil bat and or one of the great alfred hitchcock film ( some aren not horror however and be only on there because hitchcock direct some horror and suspense ) but other time it seem that they put movie like the island monster and this on because they can not accept the fact they would easily be forget and should be for that matter . so we open up to sort of a westing game idea . the rich yet cruel and abusive father play by carradine ( the one standing feature of this ) have die and leave his inheritance to his child and servant who he still hat . carradine give a good enough performance a always and but he leave mainly in a voice recording and flashback sequence leave u to sit through the mediocre or terrible performance . the rest of the cast either overacts or underacts in scene . give this be an independent film of the 70 the lighting and effect be pretty limited . it hard to build a lot of tension when the viewer can not see what happen that well in some scene . some actor like the servant igor and elga give an effort at least and i be ashamed to admit kind of left me chuckle at the end mainly for the sheer stupidity but still with some very minor happiness that they pull some version of a twist to an otherwise pretty obvious who do it but not enough to enhance the quality of the film . you aren not mean to like the character a they be either selfish and cruel or psychotic and but it take it to a whole new level and make many unwatchable . the death scene be pretty bad and the suspense be not really there . it prove that you would probably enjoy the 20 movie pack chill contain film like house on a haunt hill and little shop of horror with jack nicholson and and night of the living dead over it . this be best avoid .
