I'm boxing up a ton of DVDs right now and I came across "The Attic". Read the synopsis on the back and now I'm really wondering what the shocker ending is. Since I can't watch it myself, can someone help me out?
shareIf I remember correctly (mind you I saw this when I was like 8 yrs old...yikes) turns out her fiance didn't run out on her...daddy killed him and stuffed him in the attic. I think the skeleton is actually wearing his tux from the day of the wedding. I can't remember the specifics though...anyone out there care to elaborate???

shareyup..she eventually throws Daddy to his death after finding out he could walk the whole time,and he was just keeping her under his control.the first half of the film is a noir drama ..the ending turns into a horror movie after she finds the fiance's mummified corpse stuffed in a box..and is stranded with it in the attic as the credits roll..spooky *beep* THE DEAD OF WINTER and FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC were nearly this creepy
shareThe woman got stood up 19 years ago at the alter and has never gotten over it. She drinks and has visions and lives with her nasty old invalid father who is mentally abusive to her and makes her wait on him hand and foot. during one of her drunken episodes she set the library they worked at on fire and her father had to jump out a window to escape. Since then he's been in a wheelchair and she feels guilty about it.
She makes a friend and her father gives her grief about it: never wanting to let her go out or get phone calls.
the friend gets her a pet monkey
One day the monkey, that-yes-the father hates- walks up to the woman with a wad of money in its hand (paw?) and she goes "Good boy, show me where the money is hidden. It is implyed the money is hidden in the attic.
One day while wheeling Dad around in his wheelchair they get in a fight (I forget what the starw that breaks the camels back is) and she pushes him down a hill. He gets up, brushes himself off and starts walking up the hill . This part is when The movie takes a turn for the better and gets good! She freaks out finding out he CAN walk and COULD walk all this time and beats him to death, then runs home, now a storm starts and she's in the attic looking for the money. instead she finds the dead body of the chimp and the dead body of her fiancee who went missing on their wedding day: and yes, he's in his tux. She starts to weep, the storm causes the attic door to slam and the latch to fall, locking her in the attic with no way to escape, to die alone heartbroken with her chimp and boyfriend.
Caught this on TV as a kid (the last half) and it freaked me out! The first half is very slow though...but worth it for the ending.
