Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?

A twisted spin on a classic tale, a widow with a sinister motive invites naive youngsters into her opulent estate, leading to a dark and unsettling encounter.

In 1920s England, Auntie Roo, a seemingly kind American widow, hosts an annual lavish Christmas party for the orphanage children and staff at her mansion, Forrest Grange. However, her warm exterior hides a dark truth: she's a disturbed woman who keeps the mummified remains of her daughter in the attic. When she becomes fixated on a little girl who resembles her daughter, she abducts her and imprisons her in the attic. The child's brother, Christopher, must then take matters into his own hands to rescue her, but no one believes his warnings.
