    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.

    The acting may not be great (and in Tennet's case it actually works) but the story is so damn disturbing that you can't help but be engaged. The slow zoom out to the 4 graves is pretty genius.

    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.
