Storyline
After the death of her husband, a mother takes her kids off to live with their grandparents in a huge, decrepit old mansion. However, the kids are kept hidden in a room just below the attic, visited only by the grandmother, and their mother, who becomes less and less concerned about them and their failing health, and more concerned about herself and the inheritance she plans to win back from her dying father, to the point of murder... Written by David Gibson <djg6@ukc.ac.uk>

Mother: I suppose because we were never penniless before... many years ago I did something that angered your grandfather, and his punishment was to disinherit me.
Chris: So, why are we going back there if he won't give us any money?
Mother: Because he will. Your grandfather is dying. He's not expected to live much longer, and in that time, I'm going to win back his love... and then, darlings, I'll be an heiress to a fortune beyond your imaginations. And ...

Trivia
The cardboard replica of the film poster is included in the Region 1 DVD edition as an insert, and this is a bit of a curiosity. The official credits for the film lists Jeffrey Bloom as the screenwriter and the director, but the poster says that the screenplay was written by Hilary Henkin and Wes Craven and that the film was directed by Craven. At one point, Craven was scheduled to direct the movie and you can read an excerpt from his script in the Virginia C. Andrews Trivia and Quiz book that was published in 1994. The insert, therefore, wasn't a mistake, it was a rare glimpse at what could have been. See more »Goofs

I saw this movie way back in like 1989 and LOVED it. So much that my mom purchased me a copy for Christmas one year. I can't say how many times I've seen this film..at least 100...so much that my tape of it broke because the film inside was all worn out! Lol! I'm reading some of the posts and think that they are a bit harsh. I do understand that the movie wasn't as outlined off the book as it could have been, however, what they taped still made for a GREAT film. Along with the music and acting, I thought it was awesome. I'm watching the movie right now in fact on HBO and I must say after all these years I still get chills off the music..AAHH, AHHH, AHHH, AHHH, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...I actually learned to play this song on my keyboard!
