    Based on the Virginia Andrews novel but without the really juicy bits, this is still very compulsive viewing if only for the fact that Kristy Swanson is in it.

    One of those books that had make me into a movie 'written' all over it. As far as I can remember this wasn't a movie when I watched it but a made for tv event. Well, I loved the books when I was younger like a lot of the female persuasion and unfortunately I found this 'movie' t...( read more)o be extremely lacking. Stick to the book or they should make a more up to date movie.

    I really don't like this film at all. It's way to creepy throughout and really appaling the way they are all treated and kept locked hidden in the attic. Even after one of the children does their mother still keeps the others hidden in the attic. And not to mention the incest tha...( read more)t goes on amongst them. A film i can only ever watch the once, it's truly horrendous!!!

    omfg i adored the books the movie got it all wrong and dosn't leave the opening for the seaquels cos they kill of the mother and leave out all the insest and dancing, but i still like it. i do hope that the movie is remade closer to the story line though.

    This movie use to scare me when I was little. I like the movie, however, I gotta admit Virginia Andrews novel "Flowers in the Attic" is better. There are a lot of differences between the novel and the movie. The novel focuses on the trauma the Dollanganger children had to face and much more we don't know about in the movie.
