action
Claire returns to her parents' house as an adult woman. She has been in a wheelchair since childhood after she lost a foot in an accident at the age of six. Her sister Rita can only feel angry for her because she was then blamed for the tragic accident. Rita is convinced that she was not to blame for the terrible events that happened back then. When Rita realizes that Claire has only come back to beg money for an operation from their mother, her anger at her sister grows immeasurably and turns into hatred.
Rita decides to take revenge on Claire. She is firmly convinced that Claire is responsible for the fact that the mother distanced herself from her after Claire's accident and that she had to do without her love all these years because of her sister's behavior. She finds her life bleak and unhappy. She doesn't tell Claire that her mother died some time ago and doesn't want Claire to find out that she changed her will in favor of the hated sister.

Media reception, reviews
The film received mostly devastating criticism in the media. For example, TV Spielfilm summarized that director Oskar Roehler must have tried compulsively to play the classic What really happened to Baby Jane? from 1962, which he didn't even begin to do. The film portal Kino.de believes that such an inferior production can only be trusted by a broadcaster like RTL and, given the fact that RTL broadcast this film, you can only take your hat off to the broadcaster out of respect . The television magazine prisma sorts the film into the lowest quality level.
"Chamber play-like psychological thriller about a malicious sister duel."
"Shrill, long update from Baby Jane "
"Trash in the bottom drawer [...] disgusting staging that doesn't shy away from silly and completely exaggerated spletter scenes [...] stupid story"
Henrik Düker from the Berliner Zeitung saw it completely differently , who even believed that this "unusual thriller" [...] "belongs on the big screen", since a cinema hall would have provided "the perfect backdrop". Go to hell sister is not a normal television film, wrote Düker, it was "bizarre cinema, some ideas and scenes would do any trash horror film credit." The viewer can “confidently neglect the“ told story ”, it only serves as a foil for all the absurdities from which the film draws its expressiveness”. Berben and Elsner said that the joy of playing "can be clearly seen in their faces". It went on to say: “It is the desire to exaggerate and the courage to try something unusual that make this film something special. [...] A real masterpiece, not just from a cosmetic point of view. "
The film service's criticism was also positive: “Dramatic, drastic (television) psychological thriller about the consequences of misguided motherly love and the hatred that can arise from rejection. With top-class cast, the film (based on the US classic Lullaby for a Corpse , 1964) above all offers the platform for impressive acting performances. "
