YEP REVIEW OF FLOWERS MOVIE
Does the TV movie version of Flowers in the Attic have all that stuff? In contrast to the tame 1987 film, yep! Most of the incest action happens offscreen, but there are a couple of decidedly non-filial bro-sis kisses, then cut to Cathy and Chris cuddling in bed and Chris declaring his unending love for her, in a scene that would be kinda sweet if it weren't creepy. Parents who remember reading the original book in a breathless rush at camp or hidden under a bedsheet want to know one thing: Does Flowers in the Attic go there? The original book has full-on brother-sister incest, kinda-sorta rape, a murderous mom, and more absolutely purple plot points. This is a guilty pleasure for women of a certain age - just think carefully before you let the kids see it. Corinne comes to visit less and less.and so the loveless and lonely Chris and Cathy turn to each other for their most intimate emotions. Corinne's terrifying mother (Ellen Burstyn) is in on the scheme, and every day brings the children food in a picnic basket, including powdered-sugar doughnuts with one special, menacing ingredient. Now Corinne plans to keep them hidden in an attic until she can bring her father around and convince him to let her inherit his millions despite her illicit marriage. The kids, it turns out, are the products of this incestuous relationship. Years ago, they disowned her when she married Christopher who was actually a close-enough relative to make things creepy. But one night, Christopher is killed in a terrible car accident, and, without job skills and unable to support her family, Corinne brings them to the home of her cruel parents.
YEP REVIEW OF FLOWERS PLUS
Gorgeous, successful couple Christopher and Corinne (Heather Graham) have four beautiful children: teenage Chris (Mason Dye) and Cathy (Kiernan Shipka), plus young twins Cory and Carrie.
Petals on the Wind, the 2nd installment, is also recommended but for mature viewers! This one is okay for 14 and up!Īs FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC opens, the Dollanganger clan has it all. Is it worth seeing? Absolutely, but the story is slightly different than the book. Language is very mild but a lot of religious references to "evil" and the Devil's Spawn and that "God sees everything". Sexual content has kissing of adult couples, an incest relationship between teenage siblings with some mild references, a scene of kissing and waking up under a blanket together (brother shirtless, sex implied), some talk and accusing of incest relationships, a teen boy looks through a magazine of women (not shown).
Some screaming, arguing and verbal abuse. Violence has a scene of a woman who was whipped, her back is shown covered in bloody marks. When an innocent life is taken, they will stop at nothing to escape the attic but the memories will always live on.
They turn to each other for comfort in a time of puberty and adolescents, the brother and sister start to have feelings for each other. In order for Corinne to be accepted by her mother and to inherit her fathers millions, she must keep the children a secret by hiding them up in the attic, but months turn into years until Corinne stops visiting her kids and ultimately becomes just like her evil mother as the money and luxury take over her life. When the father is killed in a car wreck, they're left with nothing and Corinne has no choice but to take them to live with her rich parents, an ill father and a religion obsessed mother Olivia (Ellen Burstyn) who torments the children as well as her daughter Corinne specifically for engaging in an incestuous relationship, often brainwashing her grandchildren to be the Devil's Spawn. Teenage Kathy (Kiernan Shipka), Christopher (Mason Dye) and their much younger sibling twins Carrie (Ava Telek) and Cory (Maxwell Kovach) are four beautiful children of mother Corinne (Heather Graham) and father (Chad Willett).
Good acting but lacked some depth that the original had, it wasn't near as intense in the escape scenes. Flowers in the Attic was well done for a remake of the original 1987 movie.
