Movie Reviews of Flowers in the Attic
Movie Review: Flowers in the Attic
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not going to compare this movie to the book, so I'm just going to review the movie itself. It's good, nothing incredibly grand, but a very solid effort. It runs smoothly, although the ending does have an expedited feel in my opinion, like they had to pare it down to meet time constraints. Everyone knows this story revolves around incest and really sadism as well, which are more alluded to than actually explored. The kids tend to overact quite severely in this movie, but the adults put on great performances. Suspenseful at times, but definitely has a couple of spotty moments. Still, a better than average movie.
Summary of Flowers in the Attic
After a tragic accident leaves them fatherless four kids return to their mothers mysterious family mansion hoping for an inheritance. But when they are imprisoned & abandoned by their evil grandmother they must survive another nightmare. Features: widescreen theatrical trailers. Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 10/05/2004 Starring: Victoria Tennant Louise Fletcher Run time: 92 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jeffrey BloomThe classic teen novel of adolescent torment and forbidden love gets brought to the screen. When the father of four beautiful blond children is suddenly killed, their mother (Victoria Tennant, L.A. Story) takes them to the family home she fled 17 years earlier. Their fierce and frightening grandmother (Louise Fletcher, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) locks them in an upstairs room, from which the only escape is into the cluttered and cobwebbed attic. The children's isolation gets more and more extreme as their mother abandons them, finally even slowly poisoning them to gain her father's inheritance. Sadly, the movie shies away from what made Flowers in the Attic such a hugely popular book--namely, the incestuous sex that began between the two older children, Cathy (Kristy Swanson, the movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Chris (Jeb Stuart Adams). Instead, the movie insinuates incestuous longing in all directions: Cathy's father brings her special presents before he dies, Chris scrubs Cathy's back in the tub, Chris has a noticeably stronger attachment to their mother than Cathy does--not to mention that the grandmother whips the half-naked mother in front of the grandfather. Fletcher brings a bit of bite to her role, and the movie occasionally rises to absurdly lurid zest. --Bret Fetzer
