Flowers In The Attic: Review

starstarstarstar
A stilted film adaptation of the bizarre V.C. Andrews' novel, the film looks at teenageers Cathy (Kristy Swanson) and Chris (Jeb Stuart Adams) and their younger siblings (Ben Ganger and Lindsay Parker). After their father is suddenly killed, their mother, Corinne (Victoria Tennant) is forced to go begging at her rich parents' door. Disinherited because her parents did not approve of her marriage, Corinne is determined to win back her invalid father's love and inherit his wealth. Unfortunately for the children, Corinne's father has never learned of their existence, and therefore they must be kept locked in one small room while Corinne works to regain his love. Considering that incest, murder, sadomasochism, repression, and warped religious zeal are the main themes here, the film version of Andrews' novel is incredibly tame and downright boring. Screenwriter/director Bloom has produced a bad script and his direction of young actors is even worse. Nothing very explicit survives in the final cut, leaving Andrews' grim ruminations on the horrors of a perverted family life obtuse and undeveloped. leave a comment
