Die Sister, Die! (also known as The Companion) is a 1978 American film (filmed in 1972) directed by Randall Hood.
Plot summary
Edward (Jack Ging) is tired of the "allowance" granted him by his sister, Amanda (Edith Atwater) and becomes impatient for her death, and his inheritance. To hasten her demise, or at least stop her suicides from being thwarted, Edward hires a discredited ex-nurse, Esther (Antoinette Bower) to watch over her. Esther is less than enthusiastic about killing the old woman, though, and is curious about the secrets held in the house, including a mysterious third sister, Nell.
