Q&A: What is this movie I’m remembering?

Question by Dave Randal: What is this movie I’m remembering?
I think this was a TV movie from the 80s but it may have come out in theaters. I saw it on TV in the early 90s.

It is basically about a family and I think they have four kids. The two older kids are bad or at least the parents think they are bad and make them live out in a shed or something in the backyard with a barbed wire fence or a fence made out of barbed wire going around it or something. I think there is a skull and cross bone sign on the fenced made out of barbed wire.

I think the two older kids are a boy and a girl.

In one part I remember one of the younger kids waves or something to one of the older kids and one of the parents tell the younger kid to get away from there.

Near the end of the movie I think the two older kids get out and I guess it turns out the parents are crazy and they try to hunt down the kids in the house. I think the dad chases them with an axe.

I’m not real sure but I believe it was based off a true story because at the end of the movie it tells what happened to the kids.

The older two kids are like teens while the younger ones are around probably 8 and 9.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about?
@Crystal Glass No that’s not it but thanks for answering. I don’t believe it is a horror movie but more of a suspense movie. I don’t think there is any haunting or priests in it but I’m not sure. It’s been years since i’ve seen it and I only saw it once.
The only other movie I can really compare it to is “Flowers in the Attic” which has somewhat of a similar theme although I’m not sure because I don’t know the whole plot of the movie I’m trying to find.
