RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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

capone666 Flowers in the Attic (1987)One of the most off-putting experiences you could ever have is attending a V.C. Andrews Family Reunion.And after watching this drama based on the author's infamous bestseller, you'll know why.When their father dies, Cathy (Kristy Swanson), Chris (Jeb Stuart Adams), Cory (Ben Ryan Ganger) and Carrie (Lindsay Parker) are uprooted and moved to their mother's (Victoria Tennant) childhood home.While she smooths things over with her parents for marrying her half-uncle, her incestuous offspring are locked away in an unoccupied bedroom.As they mature, they follow their parents' bad example.Eventually, they learn of their mother's engagement, and of the nefarious plans to rid the family tree of her sinful seeds. A poorly executed adaptation of the twisted teen lit classic, this version omits much of the story for the sake of sensationalism.Besides, a secluded attic is the ideal place for two siblings to raise their mutant.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

tomquicksell I just stumbled across this movie on demand and hadn't seen it since it came out in 1987. I don't know if I was more disappointed then or now. V. C. Andrews must be turning over in her grave daily, disgusted to what was done to her incredible series of books.This movie had so much potential to be a huge franchise and the idiot producers and directors killed it before it was ever released. Never have I anticipated a movie so much and been so disappointed at the same time.This movie should be destroyed and remade with the integrity and honor of the book.
