Based on the bestselling book by V.C. Andrews, the latest film adaptation that remains true to the novel, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC will arrive on DVD April 15 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Featuring an all-star cast including Heather Graham (Boogie Nights), Ellen Burstyn (Best Actress in a Leading Role, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, 1975) and Kiernan Shipka (AMC’s “Mad Men”), the made-for-TV movie premiered to 6.1 million viewers which is ad-supported cable’s most-watched original movie since November 2012.
I’ll admit I didn’t watch FLOWERS when it premiered back in November, but everything I’ve heard indicates that it’s plenty insane. So might be worth picking up.
Flowers In The Attic is a gothic story of four siblings who, after the death of their father, are torn from a peaceful life and subjected to abuse resulting from a dark, family secret. Abandoned by their mother and forced to endure unimaginable treatment living in the attic of their grandparents’ mansion, the children form their own family unit. But as the oldest boy and girl come of age both emotionally and physically while caring for their younger siblings, they are entrapped by their family’s sordid past as they try to survive and escape the harsh living conditions.
