Critics Consensus

This twisted tale of premium cable fodder winds up collecting dust in a stale adaptation of Flowers in the Attic.

The voiceover (lifted from the book) is SO heavy handed and clunky it needs a dolly just to move it around.

V.C. Andrews' popular and creepy 1979 novel Flowers in the Attic gets no favors from the scriptwriters in this latest adaptation.

The problem is not that it's just terrible, but that it's also no fun. At all.

While Graham pulls out every trick in the book, Burstyn achieves more with an eyebrow or pursed lips. Combined, they're a brilliant foil to the innocence of the children.

Still enjoyable, especially when watched with a group of your closest, tipsy-est friends, Flowers In The Attic is not entirely so-bad-it's-good as I would have liked.

Flowers, both the book and the new movie, is completely absurd - if you want to gauge the absurdity, just know that one of the darkest secrets in the narrative involves a doughnut - but somehow also psychologically coherent. It has a grip.

Genuinely who thought this was a good movie. You thought I'd root for two SIBLINGS who were also the product of an incest relationship, to be in a SEXUAL and ROMANTIC relationship? Yeah, sorry buddy but I was genuinely rooting for the grandma in this movie it was absolutely disgusting and I couldn't finish it and I'm convinced everyone who likes this movie is disgusting with it because this is no reason you should be wanting to have intercourse with your sibling. Absolutely disgusting how can someone root for siblings tryna to do things like that, makes me sick. And it's not even one of those movies that conveys "hey this is messed up and don't do it" bc then I'd probably like it but no the movie is literally glorifying that stuff EW. And even the "well...they're STEP siblings so—" I DON'T CARE IF THE WORD "Mother father sister brother aunt uncle cousin son daughter" is in the name you should NOT BE DATING THEM

Worst movie I have ever seen. 90 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. The acting…Heather Graham was horrible. Incest, incest and more incest. Ewe. Cannot see why anyone would waste their time watching this.

This movie is so bad! It’s hard to believe when they finally finished the movie they were like "there we are done, let’s release this movie to the public!" What on earth were these movie people thinking!!!!!!!

I’d rather gouge my eyeballs out with a fork. Some things should never be touched, and this is definitely one of them. Leave the classics alone! This is what pure creative laziness looks like—nothing original, just bad acting, terrible dialogue, and enough secondhand embarrassment to make your skin crawl. Not every classic needs a remake. Sometimes the best idea is to leave it exactly where it belongs.
