Die Sister, Die! (also known as The Companion) is a 1978 American thriller 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 Esther (Antoinette Bower), a discredited ex-nurse, to watch over her. Esther is less than enthusiastic about killing the old woman, and curious about the secrets held in the house, including a mysterious third sister, Nell.
