Which old horror movie is this?

Here is an interesting question with an interesting story behind it:

When I was a young child I had the unfortunate incident of viewing a particularly scary horror movie with frightened me for several nights thereafter. I have no idea when this movie was made or whether it made it to theatre or was a lowly "B" flick. I saw this movie in the mid-late eighties.

I have never been able to remember the name (I probably never knew it to begin with), but I am able to recall a couple of scenes that may allow a horror buff to help define its title. Please help if you can:

Rememberance #1: Part (or all) of the movie takes place at a building (be it a residence or otherwise) in the middle of what I guess is a forest. There are a group of characters trying to escape this place by vehicle, but all of the roads mysteriously lead back to the building. There's no way out!!!

Rememberance #2: In one scene, a woman (I think) is eating supper with a group of other people when a large bone is lodged in her throat. She is choking horribly and if I remember correctly, they vividly and graphically cut her throat to allow her to breathe.

Rememberance #3: In another scene, someone is swimming in a pool and a sheet of glass spreads across the surface, effectively drowning her.

These are the only bits that I can remember, so if you can help me out, you'd be solving a question that has plagued me for YEARS!!!

Thanks!
-Nick.

It's called The Legacy. (1978)

couple of links here

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079450/

A quote from someone on a message board about The Legacy:-

'This movie made me afraid to swim under water for years, i was only 8 at the time, but now 32 i still think about the water turning to glass when im under it, scarred me for life i guess.'

I just have to say, this forum is an awesome place to find out which movies you have seen(and not knowing what the name of it is). There are several times I'we asked, and everytime I've been answered correctly. Credits to all you users of this forum!
