Review of Flowers in the Attic (1987) by Joyce L — 08 Jun 2008
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.
