Reviews

onemilliondj Certainly much better than the newer version of this movie, I found it an innocent dark tale. That grandmother has serious issues! However it was terrific acting from the woman who played her part. I thought the acting was good although I didn't like the elder daughters acting. I would also like to mention the set as I feel it was a good choice to set the film where they did. I enjoyed how everything look old fashioned, I really want to stay there JUST NOT IN THE ATTIC! I thought the film was creepy in someways, for an 80s film this film hasn't aged in someways other 80s films have and considering this film was made 30 years ago next year I think they did a fine job.

Rainey Dawn This movie "Flowers in the Attic" in a way is similar to a film from 15 years earlier called "Demons of the Mind" (1972) - both films are good. If you like one then you might like the other.I have never read the book "Flowers in the Attic" so I cannot judge book vs movie - however I can judge the film on how well I liked it and this one I quite liked... yes it is a movie that is hard to watch but I still find it a good film nevertheless.Like most others who have seen the film, I too find Louise Fletcher's performance as the grandmother very good. I also quite liked Victoria Tennant's performance just as much. Both are outstanding in this film.9/10

toni-cooke18 Although this adaptation of Virginia Andrew's dark series has not done justice to her writing, the film is still dark, eerie and captures the main essence of the book.Although it lagged action at times and drags, the story is unique and captivating. The acting of the Grandmother is freaky and it is definitely a film I would watch again.I am interested in the 2014 remake, I am sure with the quality of films made these days we are in for a treat.However, this is the classic adaptation and I think the children were conveyed well and their stories were told in this film.Even if you are not a V.A fan, still a good film to watch.

gavin6942 They have come to a house where secrets are kept....where the future is haunted by the past.....where the innocent live in the shadow of sin.....where a dark legacy awaits to destroy all who defy it...While I have not read the book, I sincerely hope it is not as bad as this film (though, after reading "Twilight", I know that you do not need to be a good writer to sell millions of copies). Absolutely terrible dialogue litters this film, and it is poorly delivered, only exacerbating this shortcoming.Another script was written by Wes Craven, but was turned down because of the violence and incest. I would much rather watch his version (this one all but removes the incest subplot that made the original novel so controversial). At least horror fans still have the music of Christopher Young ("Hellraiser") to listen to.Apparently the sequel was to be "all sex" but never got off the ground. The bigger mystery is: where is the remake? A book this successful that made a critically-failed movie? That is a perfect excuse to give it another go. By now, Kristy Swanson is old enough to play the mother...
