The, \"Too Dumb To Live\" trope does not fit this movie because Marian was under the control of the house, or rather Mrs. Allardyce, so there was no way the rest of the family could\'ve convinced Marion from going back into the house because she was going to do it regardless. That isn\'t stupidity and they are not too dumb to live. Whoever put that trope clearly missed the point of the movie.

Marian quickly warms up to the house and decides to take care of Mrs. Allardyce herself. However, things start going wrong almost immediately. Ben almost kills Davey while roughhousing in the pool, Marian's temper starts flaring at the mere criticism of the house or Mrs. Allardyce, and Ben starts having nightmares about the chauffeur from his mother's funeral. After Davey almost dies from carbon monoxide poisoning, Elizabeth starts getting suspicious about the house's nature, but dies from mysterious circumstances the next night.
Ben soon finds out that the house has the ability to regenerate whenever someone dies or has an injury. Realizing that the house is eventually going to kill them all, Ben tries to take Davey and flee, but the house, and Marian, won't let them get away so easily.
Originally a novel by Robert Marasco, it was adapted into a movie in 1976 starring Karen Black, OliverReed, Burgess Meredith, and BetteDavis.
