A millionaire, a million-dollar prostitute, a star-maker, a nation-killer, a woman whose lusts are as cold as graveyard snow. Five of the most powerful people in the world, and Maggie (Katharine Ross) makes six, gather in an ancient mansion to inherit a legacy of bloodsome horror.

The Legacy Ratings & Reviews

    Not a comedy PLEX. An entirely enjoyable movie, ith an outstanding story and top notch actors. Yes it was made in the 70s so the "FX" are not at todays standards, sorry Gen Z, get over yourselves.
