About Legacy of Blood
Three wicked sisters and their equally unsavory husbands arrive at a remote inn where they're to attend the reading of their uncle's will. One by one, the heirs are dispatched by an unknown killer.
Directed by Andy Milligan, Legacy of Blood leans on a strong ensemble — Elaine Boies, Louise Gallandra, Jeannie Cusick — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1978.
