The Legacy (1978)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col 102m
Director: Richard Marquand
Cast: Katharine Ross, Sam Elliott, John Standing, Roger Daltrey
Synopsis:
Five influential people are invited to a mansion in England to receive a legacy. Meanwhile an American couple have arrived separately to renovate a nearby house and are drawn into events, which take a sacrificial turn.
Review:
Derivative horror movie with fashionable gore and motifs from such as Suspiria. However, in spite of the newfangled ghoulishness the clichéd shots of creaking doors and servants exchanging glances make one long for the one-liners of The Cat and the Canary (1939), which was also travestied that year.
