Like in many movies from the latter part of his career John Carradine only shows up for a little bit of this movie. Just long enough to tell his nutty/incesty family that they have to spend a week together in his place to inherit his money. So the plot is that old overused one of people stuck together in a house and someone's killing them off one by one. This has been done way better before( in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL for one) and this one is a real snoozer despite the fact that we get a head chopped off and a group of weirdos to watch. There's also a stupid ending which kind of make's everything come off as a joke and makes the viewer feel like they just wasted their time which is pretty accurate.
There are a few AKA's including WILL TO DIE and BLOOD LEGACY.
There's another LEGACY OF BLOOD from the 70's(1978) directed by the legendarily awful Andy Milligan that seems to have a very similar plot to this about people gathering at a house to hear a will being read. At first I thought that one was some kinda remake of this but apparently it's a remake of his THE GHASTLY ONES(1968) which is another movie with the same setup.
