ridiculous horror film about a wealthy man ( john carradine ) dying and leave everything to his four child and and his servant to be divide up equally . one condition they must spend one week in his estate to get the money . and if any of them die and the others get more . guess what happen next . i saw a brand new print of this film on cable . the color be bright and vivid and the house itself look beautiful . that about all the good thing i can say about it . let list just some of the problem this film have represent the killer be screamingly obvious while the servant be call igor and elga come on . while some of the sound recording be so bad i couldn not make out the dialogue ( no great loss i be sure ) while the gore be sparse and very poorly do while the other murder be simply boring and stupid or impossible and this movie contain some truly abominable act so bad you just stare at the screen in disbelief . even pro jeff morrow be terrible . the only fairly good acting be from trouper faith domergue ( who deserve good than this ) and john carradine ( who look painfully old and frail here ) . i do have to admit though the closing line in this movie be a gem . why this be rename legacy of blood be beyond me there another 1978 horror film with that name . whatever it name be and it a bad movie . to be avoid at all cost .
