An American couple in England stumble upon a rambling mansion where a number of powerful individuals have been summoned by its patriarch regarding the home's legacy.

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.—John Coyne

Six beautiful people arrive for a weekend in the country. Six guests of the unseen host who lies wasting away upstairs. Five heirs to a mysterious legacy watch the body of the sixth float to the side of the pool. Four claim the unspeakable power of the legacy, while a red stain spreads across the ceiling. Three realize that the legacy has come to claim them, while outside dogs dine on what was once a man. And then there are two.—John Coyne
