Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Mar 21 A guilty pleasure, Hammer, Haunted Castle in London movie. I actually kind of liked it and the silver lining is Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross met filming this and later married each other. I love the atmosphere and the kill scenes.

Any reviews saying it were good must only be saying that through nostalgia or some other reason I would never be able to work out why. Absolutely atrocious from beginning to end. The song starts off with some abysmal ear breaking track by Kiki Dee and as if that wasn't bad enough it only gets worse from there. See more 10/30/2018 Katharine Ross plays a woman going to London with her partner (played by Sam Elliott at his homoerotic best) for a job interview. Whilst riding on a motorbike in the countryside surrounding London they are almost crashed into by a Rolls Royce. The owner apologises and, as their bike has been damaged, they are put up for the weekend at his huge country mansion. But then things start to turn weird. Very weird. There seems to be a fair few films from the 70's which prompt me to think 'What the...' when I see them. The pinnacle of this sub-genre (lets call it 'Cocaine was involved') is The Exorcist 2: The Heretic. Whilst The Legacy doesn't reach that film's dizzying heights of coke-fuelled weirdness (and no other film does), it does still deliver to such as extent that viewers' eyes will be popping out of their skulls at some scenes. Wanna see Roger Daltry get a trachioctomy on top of a banquet table? Wanna see the guy who played Blofeld (Charles Gray, not Donald Pleasance) being supernaturally burnt to a crisp? Sure you do! And lets not forget the demonically possessed swimming pool and shower.  It will help to be stoned whilst watching this movie. The film will only make perfect sense this way. See more 05/07/2017 Dopey 70's horror with a few fun moments but more or less feels like a pale imitation of 70's Italian horror films; which in themselves are imitations Of 70's American horror films. See more andy f @RT81936104 11/11/2016 A truly unmemorable and dreary horror film. The odd moment or two kept me hanging in but there are far, far better examples of this type of mysterious house horror out there. Steer clear and watch any episode of Hammer House Of Horror instead! See more 04/24/2016 More mysterious than creepy, it's an effective haunted house horror. See more Read all reviews
