The weird plot is unexpectedly unforgettable

This was the film I saw in the third year of junior high. It was shown on the TV station and it was dubbed in Chinese. After many years, I can only remember the general plot, heavy and weird. At that time, it was still black and white TV, which only aggravated the weirdness. I am particularly afraid of horror movies. There are scary plots that can prevent me from sleeping for a month, but this movie did not scare me by accident and left a deep impression on me at the time. I remember that I translated the title of the film into "Little Attic", so I later searched for the source of the film under this name, but I couldn't find it. The day before yesterday, I had an idea and searched the attic directly, and I found it. There was also a remake of 2014, which was so pleasantly surprised. When I was young, I only felt that the plot was strange. Now I think the story should expose the selfishness and ugliness of human nature. Because incest is involved, it is recommended that adults watch the movie. When I was a minor, I honestly didn't understand it.
