Plot summary
In 1947, Robert Gimble leaves with his young daughter Laura after finding that his wife has gone off with their son, George. His car crashes into a snowbank, and he and the girl die in the fire. Thirty years later, George brings his wife, Vivian, who is depressed after a miscarriage, and their eight-year-old daughter, Cathy, back to the family home. Cathy explores the attic and comes across an old doll and a portrait of her aunt Laura, and the spirit of the dead woman takes hold of her. A neighbor who is a psychic medium comes to the house and sees a vision of the deaths there. Cathy grows cruel to the children nearby, showing destructive powers, while Vivian sinks deeper into her depression.
