I just rediscovered these books not too long ago. And they are super creepy when you think about it. This is as well. They only hinted at the incest in the very beginning (the relationship between their parents) but did not continue it between the siblings. Why? More mass appeal maybe, but it's still a horrible thought.
My sister and I loved this movie when we where little...in a weird of the wall witch in the wordrobe way.....havnt seen it in so long..I'm in my thirties...this is a classic
Read that when i was at camp Woodcliff in Connecticut summer 1981. I adored it there but that book stills haunts me till this day. This book and the ones that followed...The Howard Shore score on the movie is brilliant
In my opinion, if you haven't read the book, this is a movie with a good plot. If you have read the book, you know this is the worse movie EVER. It doesn't even get close to the taboo topics of the story.
But make no mistake I could see myself liking this movie if I never read the book. I want a remake though. With the smut on tv now, incest shouldn't be hard to capture.
@luvcandycane8 evryone says that she sleeps with her dad n then sleeps with chris but ive read the book on my kindle, i dont get why that wasnt in my book unless they have a more apropiate version on amazon thats where u buy the books for ur kindle thanks for tellin me :)
I Hate how they didn't make Cathy and Chris lovers. I think that's a huge part of the book and u connect with the characters so it's not that messed up. I want to become a director so I can remake this movie
I honestly hate how OFF this movie is. Cathy was supposed to be 12 when he died. She looks 16. I would really like them to do a new adaptation of this book with better actors and production.
They can't do what they did in the book to a movie because it would be so bad noone would watch a brother and sister have sex and the baby they have after Kathy was married to someone else. And you cant marry your own brother.
I think they should make this into a miniseries exactly like the book series. They should include everything that the book did and should have actors more appropriate. Maybe Charlize Theron as Corrine? Or Dakota Fanning as Cathy? What do you guys think?
This is one of the most disturbing tales ever written.I've always loved the opening sequence of the house and grounds and that music gives me chills.Cheers for uploading haven't seen it for ages.
@RachelJaredLeto I am with you....and if it is remade, done in the order of the books and according to the books and in the right order....including the prequal Garden Of Shadows
@DragonFly122 And Hannah Endicott Dougalas should play Catherine. She has the angelic face of Catherine as described in the book. Except Hannah is a bit short.
I kinda do see the little ones being a little soggy in the area of discipline. I was raised very much the same way minus the nasty grandmum in black. Spoiled and indulgent I was not. I am now but that's another matter.
In the story corrine was suppose to be beautiful but here in this movie she just looks like every other women i see everyday. she looks really plain. she is not hideous but she's not beautiful either.
In case you didn't hear; Eventually this movie is going to be taken down because of the new anti-piracy bill that has passed. There was a hearing on it today. It's called SOPA, "Stop Online Piracy Act". Look it up on youtube and google to find out more about it. The people of hollywood did a video watch?v=5ElE2yXjO9M&feature=related
Die Kinder sind ja viel zu groß. Beim Geburtstag von den Zwillingen war Chris erst 14 und Cathy 12. Die zwei schauen ja viel älter aus, so auch die Zwillinge viel zu alt aussehen!
Just finished the book and has left me thinking its a real shame the woman herself is not here for me and others to tell her what a wonderful writer she was
I love this movie. From another of Louise Fletcher's outstanding performances, to the brilliant musical score from Christopher young. This has everything you could want in a great film :)
I have to say I was glad when the Grandmother smashed the music box thing that the girl's father gave her. I HATED him giving her that. It's not right for a father to be so partial toward one child and not the others.
@littlebit19801 In the book, he doesn't just give her the music box. Every time he returns from one of his trips, he'll bring something for each of the kids (Of course, in the book, she never gets to take the music box with her because it's expensive and gets repossesed.)
readthe book... its sooooo much better than the movie! I read the series and was excited about the movie being released and was totally disappointed. Please read the books!
I watched this movie as a child and knew there was abuse involved. This is my second time watching the movie, but first time as an adult. I wonder what these mature eyes will pick up on.
I saw this as a child, and always wondered what was this movie called. All I could remember is 4 siblings being abused in a large brown house, and their brother dying, and the ending when the children left. After watching this as a child I had reoccuring nightmares, about a wicked grandmother and an attic. I have been looking for the name of this movie for years. I'm so shocked right now! I thought I would never ever see this movie again,
@Dashiell1970 Agree, the book says corrine is a beautiful stunner but in the film she is a pretty ugly troll who doesnt deserve beautiful stunning children!
If any movie needs to remade it's Flowers in the Attic(and Valley of the Dolls) and they should do it before Nicole Kidman becomes too old to play Corrine
The twins are so cute. The movie line doesn't do the book justice. At least, the director could have follow through till the end of the book but yet they changed this and add that. Just ruin it when you have read the book.
@antoniajean Not really. Corrinne grew up in that world and had to give it up because she fell in love with her half uncle and was disowned by her parents. She was happy with the life she was living with her husband and kids but when her husband died she had nothing since she had little education and work experience so she felt she had no choice but to come back. However she should have turned away when she found out she had to get rid of her kids
@AaronRodgersIsHot Yes I agree, I was referring to later on in the book when it emerged that she kept the children locked up even after the grandfather was dead, and she decided that she would rather keep her fortune and kill the children off with arsenic, because if it ever emerged that she had children she would lose everything.
@WillowTree1992 I agree, I miss her too. She is excellent. Out of all the authors that I have read...her story really captured my heart and my interest. She is such a talented woman...but taken so soon. RIP Virginia.
This movie really ruined the book for me. I thought the book was absolutely breathtaking. They changed it so much in this. In the first few scenes, Cathy looks way to old to be 12-13, which is how old they are when they first get to their grandparents house, along with Christopher. And the incest part of Cathy and Christopher is what makes the book spectacular! The fact that they didn't include it, was a bad decision on the directors. I'll stick to the book, and pretend i didn't watch this.
I've read all the books but Garden Shadows..that's the next book I'll be reading. I wanted to see the movie.. my brother wanted me to watch it.. (He read the books first) but we didn't get to finish it since he told me how horrible the movie was compared to the book..he said it didn't do it justice..I wanted to see for myself though..
XDCheyXD : He is in the first book, but he is breifly mentioned, doesn't play a large role. But when Christopher is making the last run and discovers that all his mother's jewelry is gone, he goes into other rooms, then hearing them approach hides and hears John talking to a woman servant & after hears them f***ing each other. He tells Cathy this when he comes back and that's when they decide to feed Mickey some powdered douughnut to test the Arsenic theory.

@ AllieKinsBegins: John is one of the servants who worked at the Foxworth Mansion. He is supposed to a 3rd cousin of the grandmother. In the novel, Chris learns about the poisening, etc. From overhearing him talk in one of their rooms.
@XDCheyXD He has a bigger part in If there be thorns but he was briefly in FITA. He also plays a bigger part in the prequel Garden Of Shadows as well.
@AaronRodgersIsHot i havent read garden of shawdows yet im still on if there be thorns because im a lazy reader but i read flowers in the attic non stop xD
@classyandfabulous94 Me too. As an aspiring director, a dream come true for me would be directing a remake. I have already finished a draft of the screenplay which I intend to shop around in studios.
@2008atwt I totally agree with you. All the movie's out there that have been remade this is one that really needs to be remade, and if they do that they should do movies of all the books in this series.
In the book he dies in a car crash. I remember my friends telling me about this book, back when I was 13...I believe it was the same time the book first came out. The whole story was creepy and yet intriguing for all of us girls...a book that is a dark fairy story with the taboo of sex and incest was really a sensation, yet not considered censored, as we bought the book thru our classroom teacher. Times were very different back then.
I was disappointed....because I read the book and some of the books that came after it to continue the story....this movie was like a ""brush over change things here and there"" type of movie...now the book on the other hand...oh man...you HATED the grandmother and their mother. 2 of the most wicked women in the book.
This is such a sad story. Although the movie has a happy ending, as did the book, the tragedies didn't discontinue in the lives of Kathy, Carrie and Chris. They went on for the rest of their lives, as it does for all the characters in V.C. Adrew books, as far as I know. The twisted and demented things continue to happen to them in book after book. You can honestly say that life isn't that horrible for many people in real life. At least not in that way.
@stitchesful I agree all of VCA books are like this: by the end of the series most of the main characters die in some way and the "curse" isn't usually lifted until the daughter book.
@AaronRodgersIsHot It's ironic but her books are a source of comfort in that way. There aren't many things about which you can say that real life isn't that bad. I guess we can look at the characters in these books and thank God our lives aren't so morbid.
This movie suckssssssss! this is the first time I watched it. I read the book years ago and tthis is no good compared. plus daddy is a little creepy in this.
you people who are raving on about how much better the book is compared to the movie are DISGUSTING. i have never read but looked up and heard about the vulgar insest sex scenes between the brother and the sister THANK GOD it was left out the film. who would want to see or read such a disgraceful thing like that... whoever like this book series must have NO morals whatsoever....
You are pathetic. You don't have to like the subject matter in a book to enjoy the book. the whole thing wasn't about incestuous sex, and did not go into explicit detail with the sex scenes . If you can't deal with something like that, then that's you're problem. Just don't presume to think that you have higher moral standards. the books were excellent. And this film is bog statard.
@Rowan07001484 i get it, i had just heard some people say it was very detailed so i tried reading the book for myself it was good but up into that point it almost ruined the book if she would have left it out it would have been alot more enjoyable.
well. I didn't find it a problem. I mean I don't agree with incest, but it didn't really bother me. Also in the third book they are living together as man and wife, the brother and sister. So I don't recommend reading further if it offends you
@SalvyGirlCindy13 It's so funny how you say "The BOOKS were disturbing and disgusting. I'm just watching the movie in hopes of it being better than the books." How ridiculous are you? The only part of the books that could be considered "disturbing" happened in the first book! Yet you read all 5? And now you are watching the movie hoping it's better? Why don't you just admit that you love it? And sorry.. the movie can't even hold a candle to the book! VC ANDREWS IS GOD!! lol
@syntheticka Actually I meant exactly what I said, All three books I've read of this series were disturbing. The disgusting incest between Cathy and Chris doesn't stop, which I was hoping it would, and don't forget that Cathy's adopted father! and that male ballerina.
By The way, this movie was amazing, I wish I had never read the books and just scene the movie
The book series are just..outstanding. I read each and every one of them. The movie is good to me, but I do agree they should make a remake and make it rated R to actually show everything about what happened in the book. They should make it into separate movies like the Twilight Saga or Harry Potter. Now those would be epic.
It doesn't follow the EXACT plot, the characters talk fake and wierd, Christopher looks 30, not 14, and Cathy looks in her twentys, not 12. Not the worst movie ever, but I expected better, considering the book is fantastic D:
@IeatyouYoueatme1 the book is so much more different from the movie. it can be difficult to read at times because of how intense the plot is. its a very mature book so if you think your up for it then by all means, start reading.
I just rediscovered these books not too long ago. And they are super creepy when you think about it. This is as well. They only hinted at the incest in the very beginning (the relationship between their parents) but did not continue it between the siblings. Why?

@classyandfabulous94 Me too. As an aspiring director, a dream come true for me would be directing a remake. I have already finished a draft of the screenplay which I intend to shop around in studios.

@2008atwt I totally agree with you. All the movie's out there that have been remade this is one that really needs to be remade, and if they do that they should do movies of all the books in this series.

In the book he dies in a car crash. I remember my friends telling me about this book, back when I was 13...I believe it was the same time the book first came out. The whole story was creepy and yet intriguing for all of us girls...a book that is a dark fairy story with the taboo of sex and incest was really a sensation, yet not considered censored, as we bought the book thru our classroom teacher. Times were very different back then.
mari66101 6 months ago
I was disappointed....because I read the book and some of the books that came after it to continue the story....this movie was like a ""brush over change things here and there"" type of movie...now the book on the other hand...oh man...you HATED the grandmother and their mother. 2 of the most wicked women in the book.

This is such a sad story. Although the movie has a happy ending, as did the book, the tragedies didn't discontinue in the lives of Kathy, Carrie and Chris. They went on for the rest of their lives, as it does for all the characters in V.C. Adrew books, as far as I know. The twisted and demented things continue to happen to them in book after book. You can honestly say that life isn't that horrible for many people in real life. At least not in that way.
stitchesful 7 months ago
@stitchesful I agree all of VCA books are like this: by the end of the series most of the main characters die in some way and the "curse" isn't usually lifted until the daughter book.
AaronRodgersIsHot 4 months ago
@AaronRodgersIsHot It's ironic but her books are a source of comfort in that way. There aren't many things about which you can say that real life isn't that bad. I guess we can look at the characters in these books and thank God our lives aren't so morbid.

you people who are raving on about how much better the book is compared to the movie are DISGUSTING. i have never read but looked up and heard about the vulgar insest sex scenes between the brother and the sister THANK GOD it was left out the film. who would want to see or read such a disgraceful thing like that... whoever like this book series must have NO morals whatsoever....
khrystall16 7 months ago
@khrystall16
You are pathetic. You don't have to like the subject matter in a book to enjoy the book. the whole thing wasn't about incestuous sex, and did not go into explicit detail with the sex scenes . If you can't deal with something like that, then that's you're problem. Just don't presume to think that you have higher moral standards. the books were excellent. And this film is bog statard.
Rowan07001484 7 months ago
@Rowan07001484 i get it, i had just heard some people say it was very detailed so i tried reading the book for myself it was good but up into that point it almost ruined the book if she would have left it out it would have been alot more enjoyable.
khrystall16 7 months ago
@khrystall16
well. I didn't find it a problem. I mean I don't agree with incest, but it didn't really bother me. Also in the third book they are living together as man and wife, the brother and sister. So I don't recommend reading further if it offends you

@SalvyGirlCindy13 It's so funny how you say "The BOOKS were disturbing and disgusting. I'm just watching the movie in hopes of it being better than the books." How ridiculous are you? The only part of the books that could be considered "disturbing" happened in the first book! Yet you read all 5? And now you are watching the movie hoping it's better? Why don't you just admit that you love it? And sorry.. the movie can't even hold a candle to the book! VC ANDREWS IS GOD!! lol
syntheticka 7 months ago
@syntheticka Actually I meant exactly what I said, All three books I've read of this series were disturbing. The disgusting incest between Cathy and Chris doesn't stop, which I was hoping it would, and don't forget that Cathy's adopted father! and that male ballerina.
By The way, this movie was amazing, I wish I had never read the books and just scene the movie

The book series are just..outstanding. I read each and every one of them. The movie is good to me, but I do agree they should make a remake and make it rated R to actually show everything about what happened in the book. They should make it into separate movies like the Twilight Saga or Harry Potter. Now those would be epic.
xoxomissperfect 7 months ago
It doesn't follow the EXACT plot, the characters talk fake and wierd, Christopher looks 30, not 14, and Cathy looks in her twentys, not 12. Not the worst movie ever, but I expected better, considering the book is fantastic D:
