Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exquisite
Review: This, I must say, is one the best movies I've ever seen. When I finished seeing it I was left with a grate simle in my face. I love gore films, but this has the potential of a raw and violent scene without showing any single drop of blood (well, maybe a 'sip' if you know what I mean...). I tasted every single moment of the film and was so happy at the ending.
Those who say it doesn't live up to the book are wrong, although I read it after seeing the movie, I still think it's quite a decent adaptation.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The music is the best part.
Review: The very best part of this movie was the music -- I have searched all over for the soundtrack, but to no avail. It was poignant and haunting and eerie all at once.

Also, all the actors were very well cast. The kids and the grandmother were great!

My major problem with this movie was its ending, which was nothing at all like the book's. Things were thrown in which never happened in the book, and the sequence of events in the beginning of the movie (portrayal of a happy home life, father's death, exodus to Grandmother's house) was very rushed.

I liked the mansion; it was very much what I pictured Foxworth Hall looking like.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not watch this movie unless you are a hardcore VCA Fan!
Review: This movie is so... WRONG! Do not watch this movie unless you've read the book first, or else it'll be ruined for you. The book is at least a thousand times better than the movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: suspensful, and creepy.
Review: I love this movie, at first when the mother brings the children to the grandparents house she seems like she really cares for the four children but she really cares for the money... So overall the movie is suspensful, creepy, and can trickv you though the whole movie!...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why was this movie made????
Review: This movie should have never been made. It goes away from the story in so many ways. The book really captures the essence of each character while the movie exploits the title of the book to make money and you end up not really feeling for the children.

The only positive thing is that the grandmother's role was acted superbly, but that in no way saves this travesty.

Flowers in the Attic should be made into a mini-series on A&E, they know how to be true to a book, such as Pride & Prejudice.

The incest was only implied and never went as far as it did in the book. You can make a movie telling what actually happended without being graphic. Granted no one wants to see incest but it was essential to the story. It really shows us the ramifications of the mother's action and how it forever scarred th lives these children.

As a movie itself, and if you've never read the book, the movie comes across as the Movie of the Week and the only reason you're watching it is to see what happens at the end.

If you compare it to the book, you will see how horrible this movie really is.

Pick up the book and enjoy. Pass up the movie.

Summary: Flowers in the attic
Review: this was a good movie but the grandmother voice sounds to nice when she talks to the kids other wise i thought it was a very good movie but i do wish they would make it over so then can make the movie Flowers in the attic then petals on the wind if there be thorns and seeds of yesterday the movie flowers in the attic seemed to go by to fast the could of made it 2 hours long but they didnt so i think some V.C fans should get together and have them re-make the movie

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Christian Bashing at its Worst!
Review: I have a confession, I'm an atheist. Despite that, I see no reason why Hollyweird needs to make movies which seem to have no other purpose than to bash Christianity. It is hard to believe that the director was even remotely connected to an earlier movie (11 Harrow House) which I greatly enjoyed.

Don't waste your money on this movie, buy the book instead.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Review: I had read the book, which was really good, a long time ago. So when me and my friend went to go rent a vido, I suggested Flowers in the Attic. It was such a gross travisty, and the actors couldnt even act! My friend never lets me pick out movies anymore because my judgement is no longer trusted. V. C. Andrews would be turning in her grave!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masterpiece...
Review: First rate Chiller based on the International Bestseller by V.C Andrews. The movie is somehow faithful to the book although many elements are left behind. Watch out for a cameo appearance by V.C Andrews as a window washer, she died before the film was released, never seeing the finished work.
The feeling that V.C Andrews created in her books is almost captured here. The acting is good and the photography/music genuinly atmospheric!
A must!

Rating: 5 stars
