A made-for-TV movie from 1972, Die Sister, Die! is surprisingly entertaining, and while its story of sibling hatred and greed has been done before, the performances go a long way in making it all seem fresh.
Edith Atwater is excellent as Amanda, the sister whose secrets are so terrible that they drive her to attempt suicide, and Antoinette Bower is also quite good as the nurse hired by Amanda’s brother, Edward (Jack Grieg), who wants to ensure that his sister’s next try at suicide succeeds.
Die Sister, Die! doesn’t break any new ground, but it does manage to breathe some life into an old, familiar tale.

Thanks for the comment.
Yeah, I also picked this up real cheap, and was pleasantly surprised by it. It had some good performances, not to mention a pretty creepy atmosphere about it.
