I can't decide if that annoys me more than the musical version where the genetics have been swapped around so that Mary, not Colin, can remind Archibald Craven of his dead wife.

Agnieszka Holland’s 1993 version did the same thing, making Mary's mother the twin of Colin's mother, whereas in the book Colin's mother is the sister of Mary's father. Making them twins allows the good dead mother and the bad dead mother to be compared more directly, I guess.
