THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE MOM WANTED HER FATHERS INHEARITANCE SO BAD THAT SHE WAS WILLIN TO KILL HER KIDS AND THE GRANDMOTHER WHAT A SICK TWISTED BITCH
On its own the movie isnt bad but in all they completly screwup up the story ftom the book. The book is amazing I wissh they would have done it better.
I was so disgusted by this film. I have read the books (in fact the whole FITA series) and whomever decided to adapt the story to film lost so much on the quality of the story. Don't waste your time watching it, just go pick up the book. Better dialogue, mystery.
Such a great movie!
I totally love the story..it doesnt go slow it goes perfect to know each character...
I love the ending...
It was original and great
I never read the book before..and im dying to read the complete saga...
oh and extra factor...
THE MUSIC...
a masterpiece..
it keeps my heart stop everytime the piano started playing it was a foreshadow of something bad was about to happen
I totally like the movie!
Specially the mom and the grandmom roles...
Great characters and terrific dialogues
A MUST WATCH!!!
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.
Based 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.
ARGH!!!! This movie starts out very strong, with accurate portrayal of everything you imagined in the novel- and reading the description, you expect it to stay true to it's origin. I don't know why the movie's description eludes to the 'forbidden' love aspect of the book, because the only thing touched upon that subject is the children's parents being related. And even the cover of this is misleading- they were not in a Victorian era mansion (am I being too picky?).
Basically, the only thing scandalous in this movie is the fact the kids were imprisoned in an attic. Even the ending goes the way of most book-to-movies (a la Stephen King's It) where so much detail and effort is placed into the build up and story only to have it wrapped up in a nice and neat package in under 2 minutes, but leaving you very unsatisfied.
If you were looking for this movie equally shocking as the book, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a better visual of characters and scenery while you read the series, and aren't expecting Oscar performances, you'll probably enjoy it. At least it's only 92 minutes.
oh my god this film sucked the book was great but this film had absoloutly nothing in it to make watching it worthwhile. Like the book and havn't seen the film? Avoid this movie!
i have only seen this a few times but never noticed the incest between the two older children the mother deserved to kiled on her wedding day lol as for the little boy and girl sad when they die
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.
This 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.
