Horror Vault's take

In a decaying mansion haunted by the memory of a domineering father, two sisters exist in an increasingly fragile equilibrium — one clinging to normalcy, the other sliding into something far more feral and dangerous. A caged ape at the heart of their home becomes a symbol of the volatile, obsessive bond between them. Carol Kane delivers an unnerving performance as the unstable sister, while Lee Grant anchors the story as the one desperately trying to hold things together. The atmosphere tightens with every scene, building toward a confrontation that feels both inevitable and deeply unsettling.
