Summary: A chilling movie
Review: Flowers in the Attic was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It has 4 children locked away in an attic like a deadly secret. It gave me chills just thinking that child abuse is real in the world. This movie may have seemed farfetched to others but with me it was related to reality. I give it four stars.

Summary: I THINK IT'S GOODER!
Review: OH MY GOSH PEOPLE YOU NEED TO SEE THIS GOODER MOVIE. THIS MOVIE IS GOODER THEN THE OTHER MOVIES I SEEN. THE ATTIC IN THIS MOVIE IS GOODER THEN THE BRADY'S ATTIC. I'M NOT EVEN JOKING ABOUT THAT EITHER. I'M LOOKIN FOR THE SOUNDS TRACK CAUSE I WANNA PLAY IT AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTIES. I GET ONE EVERY YEAR CAUSE I'M GOODER. I'M NOT JOKING. MY FAVORITE PART IN THIS MOVIE WAS WHEN SHE DID THAT. I DON'T WANNA GIVE IT AWAY BUT IF YOU'VE SEEN THIS MOVIE THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THAT PART WAS GOODER FOR SURE. IT'S SAD TO LIKE THE PART WHERE COREY HAD TO PEE IN HIS PANTS. THAT WAS NOT SO GOODER. I CRIED AND NEEDED A NEW ROLL OF TOILET PAPER. I SUGGEST YOU GO SEE THIS GOODER MOVIE FOR A LESSON OF LOVE AND GOOD TIMES. AND TO KNOW WHAT TO MAKE YOUR GOODER GRANDPARENTS FOR THEIR BIRTHDAYS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Summary: A TERRIFYING MOVIE EXPERIENCE!!!!
Review: I have seen this film many times and I like it each time I see it. There is a sad and yet, creepy quality to the film. Some people may be offended by the film's content of child abuse/neglect. However, if you've read the book, you'll notice that the film and the book do have their differences, but the movie is still good!!! Magnificent performances from the cast!!!
Highly recommended!!!!

Summary: Too mixed and jumbled...
Review: First off, I have to say that the movie barely even follows the same plot as the brilliant book. The were so many problems! In the book the oldest girl was supposed to be 12 when they came to the attic, in the movie she looks 15 or 16. In the book the grandmother didn't cut the oldest girls hair, she tried but Chris stopped her. And what happened to the incest? It carried such huge messages and themes in the book and in the movie there is none of it. I could go on for pages about the inconsistensies, even the ending is hugely different. I swear sometimes when they actually said something from the book I would think "Hey! That's kinda like Flowers In The-...oh yeah...". But to defend the makers of this movie a bit, this was before the entertainment industry relized how much it annoys people when they don't follow much loved books. I mean look at the 2 latest movies based on books, Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter. They are two great books with movies that are good as well and stay true to them. I really wish they would remake the movie and have a movie for each book in the series. I think Flowers In The Attic was around 400 pages. When a 400 page book is squashed into an 85 minute movie it isn't pretty...But for a moment here lets forget about the book, now lets look at the problems with the stand alone movie. The acting was quite weak at times. Cory's voice was annoying but I actually respected that because it seemed more realistic. Another thing I like about the movie was how it showed that man digging the four graves, that was a very eerie well done scene. A shame it was only 4 seconds and the rest of the movie never had that eerie mood. A movie like this really should have that eerie mood. It all happened too fast. And you never got to know the characters well enough to feel bad for them. You never got to know the mother well enough to be shocked when the truth came out. Nothing was understood, there seemed to be a shortage of lines. And half the lines were chocked full of emotion that came to soon and too rushed. Instead of getting the feeling they were in the attic for years, you feel they were in the attic for 85 minutes, the time of the movie. It doesn't glide you from scene to scene, it puts more circles under the childrens eyes and tell you it's been a few months. And by skipping those few months we lose a lot of important dialoge and emotions that must have passed between the children. All in all you should really only watch this out of curiosity, not for entertainment, and not for a substitute of the book.

Summary: Terrible Acting But Still Worth It
Review: This is one screwed up fil that is chilling, eerie, and disturbing. It is a guilty pleasure that most people will either hate or love. Kristy Swanson gives a terrible terrible performance as the oldest daughter, and Jeb Stuart Adams is even worse as the brother. The marvelous Louise Fletcher is over the top and chilling as the grandmother and she seems more upset with herslef by taking this role than with the children. But even with all it's acting flaws this is one of the creepiest films ever made. The incestous relationship between the older siblings should have been played out more but it would have been too disturbing to watch on screen. I do recommend this film for the weiedness and creepiness of the plot, certailny not for the acting ablities. Could go down as some of the worst performances ever.

Summary: Flowers in the attic
Review: I have all of V.C. Andrews books and my favorite on is Flowers in the Attic. I made a mistake though. I watched the movie then read the book. If you want to get this movie, read the book first. If you read the book first then watch the movie, you will spot all the parts they did'nt add. In my opinion, the book deserves 100 stars and some.

Summary: Book is way better
Review: Movie is pretty OK but the book is way better. For many reasons, including the fact that the movie is so rushed. The father dies within five minutes of the start of the movie, and everything is so rushed. It seems instead of about 3 years of ebing in the attic maybe 3 weeks. Sure, movies are going to be shorter than books, but the book was huge so the mvie should be abit longer than an hour and 30 minutes. The things that really took away from the movie are:1. The rushed things 2. Cory's extrememly annoying voice. His voice is higher and squeiker than carries (his twin sister). Sure he's only 4 or 5, but so was Carrie. 3. The different scenes. So many important events that dind't take place in the movie or was changed completely unitl it was so mixed up it wasn't even funny. 4. Bart Winslow is suppose to be handsome but the man who played it was just-ew. 5. At the end what happened. In the book NOTHING like that happened. In fact the mother doesn't even die until Seeds Of yesterday (the 5th book) I think-I havemnt read that one and isn't finished with If There Be Thorns. ZPlus sides: 1. The spooky music really plusses the movie's plots. 2. Christopher is very handsome. I liked the movie but it deifniately could've been better- maybe it would have if VC Andrews had directed it or they at least followed the book.

Summary: Worst addaption of a book ever!
Review: I've read the book at least 5 times that I can recall, and when I first saw the movie my thought was "cult hit, but, mainstream hit never." Almost nothing like V. C. Andrews wonderful book, leaving out almost everything including the ending. The only reason I even give it 2 stars is because the musical score is hauntingly beautiful.

Summary: So Bad It's Almost Good
Review: This film is destined to be a cult favorite as it is so laughably bad, it's actually fun to watch. Kristy Swanson is at her absolute worst, not only in that atrocious wig, but unable to deliver any of her lines without yelling them. Too bad her character survives! Victoria Tennant isn't much better as the money-hungry mamma. Oscars should have gone to Louise Fletcher as the evil grandmother who is so over the top I was rolling on the floor laughing. As for the two little ones, they are so obnoxious it's a shame the cyanide didn't work any faster!
