blood legacy start with the arrival of lawyer tom drake ( norman bartold ) to the dean estate formerly own by the now decease christopher dean ( john carradine ) and upon his arrival he be greet by mr. dean four child and gregory ( jeff morrow ) and his wife laura ( merry anders ) and victoria ( faith domergue ) and johnny ( richard davalos ) plus leslie ( brooke mill ) and her fella carl isenberg ( john smith ) . drake play a tape recording of theyre late father wish after his death and the estate worth 136 million dollar be to be split equally between his four child and if any should die then the money would be split equally between the rest and if all be to die the freaky servant elga ( ivy bethune ) and igor ( buck kartalian ) and the more mundanely name frank ( john russell ) would pocket the lot . well and not satisfy with a quarter share of $ 136 million ( which be still almost $ 35 million back in 1971 which doesn not sound too bad to me ) someone decide they want it all for themselves and it not long before decapitate head be turn up in the fridge . co write and produce and direct by roy monson blood legacy disappoint me on two account . for starter this film alternate and much more common title be legacy of blood which be also the title of an obscure horror film direct by andy milliagn back in 78 which i have always want to see and both film be regularly mixed up a both have similar story and when i check my on screen cable tv guide for legacy of blood i be excite because it say it be the milligan film and even list him a director so when i actually sit down to watch it and i hear john carradine voice and i then know it wasn not the milligan film that i have want to see and my heart sank . then and of course and there the simple yet undeniably straight forward fact that blood legacy be a total utter piece of crap that be literally painful to watch at time . the script by monson and eric norden be slow and boring and extremely predictable . the character be absolutely bizarre in an annoying way and the freak of a servant who ask his sister ( . ) to cane him and the strange set of brother and sister who be just downright unlikeable and so far remove from reality that any tension or mystery that the simplistic whodunit story could have achieve be sorely miss and then there the awful twist end that you can guess within the first 10 minute . it bore to watch and it poorly pace and it just a chore to even think about it . please and someone save me a this be really bad stuff . i could go on all day about how bad blood legacy be and i really could . director monson be either work with a none existent budget or judging by this he shouldn not have even be direct traffic . the entire film look ugly and it poorly photograph and there be no atmosphere or scare . the blood and gore be tame and there an axe in a head and a decapitated head and a scene when someone be stung to death by wasp and the best murder when someone face be eat by piranha . however there be question mark over this scene and so there the victim and right . there the tank of piranha and right . victim head be place in piranha tank and right . pirahna eat victim face and right . water remain crystal clear despite say victim have his face eaten and erm where the blood . technically blood legacy be terrible and it look awful and the sound be obviously shot live and it muffle and hard to hear which consider the terrible dialogue be maybe a blessing in disguise . the acting be not go to win anyone any award that for sure and the least say about it the good . blood legacy be an awful film and there really isn not a single positive aspect to it or if there be i can not think of it . do yourself a favour and do not bother with this one and there be much good film out there .
