The premise
A former vaudeville child star viciously torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion.
Horror Vault's take
Two sisters — one a forgotten vaudeville sensation, the other a once-beloved film actress now confined to a wheelchair — share a crumbling Hollywood mansion where the past refuses to stay buried. As one sister's grip on reality loosens, the power dynamics between them grow increasingly dangerous and disturbing. This hagsploitation landmark showcases two legendary performers at their most fearless, turning domestic malice into high gothic theatre.
