A former child star torments her crippled sister.

Very suspenseful. It feels overly long despite that, maybe because you spend so much of the running time feeling unsettled and uncomfortable.

Las hermanas Jane y Blanche Hudson fueron estrellas infantiles de Hollywood, pero sus carreras siguieron trayectorias muy distintas. Mientras que Jane, al crecer, fue olvidada por el público, Blanche se convirtió en una actriz de éxito. Tras un misterioso accidente de coche, Blanche quedó postrada en una silla de ruedas al cuidado de su hermana Jane, que disfruta atormentándola. (FILMAFFINITY)
