Legacy of Blood (1971)

What a wretched experience, 30 July 2019
The Quick Pitch:  An old man dies, leaving his fortune to his children and servants.  The only catch is that they must remain on his estate for a week (or was it just one night - who cares?).  If anyone dies, their share is split amongst the survivors. 
I really hate everything about this movie.  Legacy of Blood (or whatever other name it’s known by) is one of those instances when I question why I watch this stuff.  It’s all just so predictable and boring. Predictable: Guessing the killer’s identity is no challenge at all. Boring: So much talking about nothing that it’s a chore to sit through.  When something does happen, like a murder, it’s all so clumsy with what might be the worst effects of their kind ever put on screen. There are some decent actors here, but they’re given nothing to work with.  Did anyone involved with making Legacy of Blood really think they were doing something good? If they did, it doesn’t show. I can’t remember seeing a more joyless movie in my life. What a wretched experience!
