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

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.

All four films in this series based on the V.C. Andrews novels are among the dozens of offerings featured in the 2015 holiday gift guide at ReelBob.com.

Frankly, the best Lifetime movies straddle that fine line between "totally engaging look at serious issues" and "overacted campy mess" very well, and "FitA" just didn't cut it. It was ... kinda boring, right?

The production moves at a brisk pace, and unlike the children's predicament, never feels claustrophobic.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 21, 2014

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 21, 2014

'80s pulp novel gets creepy with evil adults, incest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 21, 2014

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

It was adapted into a middling creepy film in 1987. Now Lifetime has remade it as a sharper creepy 온라인카지노추천 movie.

I was particularly delighted when the children figured out that their mother was trying to kill them with powdered rat poison sprinkled on donuts, but this should all be a lot more frightening - or at least more unsettling - than it winds up being.

The problem is [it] always sounds like it's more fun, or at least more kooky, than it actually plays onscreen.

Escape can't come too soon.

Lifetime goes there, then backs away from the issue immediately, making for some scenes that add nothing to the story but brief bouts of nausea.

| Jan 17, 2014

All the actors are spot-on, even ones who have just a few scenes.

The last thing you want to do is play it straight. Unfortunately, that's the only way Lifetime knows how to play it

| Jan 17, 2014

It all seems fairly preposterous until one takes into account that stranger things have happened in real life.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 16, 2014

The only way to review "Flowers in the Attic" is to consider how well it does what it sets out to do: that is, adapt the book faithfully and still make an entertaining film. For that, it gets a B+.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 16, 2014

Though the five-book Dollanganger series eventually descends into straight-faced plot-pretzels (the likes of which will probably show up on The Spoils Of Babylon) much of the Gothic drama in this installment is quaint by cable standards.
