'The Legacy' (1978) - Richard Marquand.

'With this this ring I thee...dead!!!'

Super studly Sam Elliott and the slender, enticingly beautiful Katharine Ross star in Richard Marquand's spine-shiveringly spooky 70s occult shocker 'The Legacy'. Following an unexpected financial windfall, the dreamy, picture-perfect couple's increasingly ill-omened trip to the UK ominously propels them upon a disturbingly circuitous journey into a luridly labyrinthine historically hateful Hammer House of Horror! Not long after being coerced within this forbidding country estate their fascinatingly mysterious host proves uncommonly generous, his hospitality, perhaps overzealous, frustratingly making it entirely impossible for them to leave this grand, ancestrally malign macabre murder mansion! With its engaging script, consummate performances, lavish sets, roiling, unsettling atmosphere of sickening dread, and gorgeously grisly set pieces, Richard Marquand's macabre, pulse-quickening black magic masterpiece 'The Legacy' should satisfy vintage horror fans, plunging them into a wickedly entertaining Dennis Wheatley infused nightmare, reaching far beyond the boundaries of sanity, preternaturally penetrating the blackened portals of hell itself!
