Title: Dissapointing however intriguing
Product review: This film adaptation of the fabulous gothic novel "Flowers in the Attic" did the book little justice. Had someone just seen the movie without reading the book they would have probably enjoyed it a lot. But for those of us that read the book, the movie was quite tame. While capturing the gothic theme of the book and some great performances on the part of Swanson and Fletcher, the movie seemed to be more interested in maintaining a pg-13 rating than to be true to the book and risk the R. Where is the incestuol relationship between Cathy and Chris? And if the film is narrarated by Cathy, how is she supposed to see her mother being whipped when she is locked in the attic? Wes Craven's script for this movie would have easily been better and the filmaker's made a mistake in using such a weak script for a potentially fabulous movie.
