This definately does distrub the viewer at a few points, having some scenes that do truly illustrate the abuse that is sadly possible, though the staging is mediocre and the direction at times lackluster and forcing reactions. It loses some focus and believabilty later on, also because the change in the mother character and her role in general is not fully explored enough. However this was a TV movie...and considering so it still provided several good stand alone scenes of menace. Wroth checking out.

MCT:July 7, 2008Based on this creapy VC Andrews books, (before she died and let it become a house name for several cheesy writers), this movie about a crazy old new England family who decide to perform incest and also to hide their incestuous children in the attic, was quite twisted, but not quite a movie.

Glum, gloomy and terminally cheesy, this cinematic adaptation of V.C. Andrews' perverse neo-gothic psychodrama novel is rendered laughably humorless by writer/director Jeffrey Bloom. Clunkily presented with all the veneer of a made-for-tv movie, Bloom's adaptation provides little in the way of genuine thrills... it's little more than an incest-themed episode of 'Dark Shadows', with a haggard-looking Louise Fletcher standing in for the vampires.

Awkward sexual tension between many of the characters-- who are all RELATED-- make Plow Her In The Attic the most twisted Lifetime movie I've ever seen. Can't wait to read the book!

Abuse, incest, neglect, and one fucked up Mother and Grandmother. The story was so promising, but the movie was terrible. The awful acting and low budget spoil the would be interesting and disturbing subject matter. I hear the book is much better.

Wish they would have made movies out of all five books, but alas, this movie flopped in the theaters... Awesome, haunting score by Christopher Young...

I hate this film and the book. It's just weird and creepy. The whole inscest thing just made me feel ill. The performances were just weak and boring. I seriously hatet this film and there are not many that I truely hate. There was nothing about it that would make you want to watch it. Boring and distrubing. Not something I would recommend. Avoid like inscest.

MCT:January 6, 2008This movie ought to come in some sort of box set with "Karla," another "tortured tribulations, filmed in every painful detail for your enjoyment"-type of film. oo bad Bette Davis wasn't available to play the role that Louise Fletcher played (Nurse Ratchet). This was pretty fun to watch but partly because it's so preposterous. Apparently it is pretty toned down than the book. Unintentional camp, in my judgment.
Favorite part: Older brother lets his younger brother, who is starving, feed/suck on an open wound the older brother has on his arm, like a vampire. What the hell. -

I've always been curious about the story since all the girls when I was at high school were obsessively reading it. It's a good way to get the general idea of it and I will admit I didn't pick the mum for being nasty, actually the hole thing kept me guessing. An average movie at best though.

One of the freakiest horror flicks I've ever seen... and not my choice. In junior high school, I visited my friend at her home for the first time- it was supposed to be a chillaxed time of talking and not doing much. We ended up deciding to watch a movie and we randomly picked a VHS with "Flowers in the Attic" scrawled along the side- title sounded harmless enough. Bad mistake. The story ended up being the most disturbing film from the 80s about a mother brainwashed into slowly brainwashing her children to get remarried to a rich guy. Yeah, now that I told you the plot, don't watch it- it will only mess with your mind.

...this is one of those Good Books made into a movie thats just NOT quite the same as the book...books are always better (from the earlier days) The new graphics and computer imaging make for better attempts. This was a valliant effort but didn't quit make it...

bone chilling and sad this movie i watched as a teenager, it was heartwrenchin horror in the end i believe everyone got what they deserved. I love this show but can only watch it every once in a while. If you like horror its a great film.Don't watch this film if your overly senstive.

MCT:October 11, 2007I remember seeing this film as a kid. I had not read the books yet so I had nothing to compare it to. I was a big fan of Kristy Swanson as well. Sure the film plays as a B melo-drama but it has a haunting score and a great set that the books do not have. I still enjoy this film.

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.
