| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe scary thing about this movie, written and directed for minimum impact by Jeffrey Bloom, is that the book Flowers in the Attic was followed by four other horticultural horror shows, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns Seeds of Yesterday and Garden of Shadows. There may be bitter fruit to come. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasDriven by cliches and almost completely ignoring the psychological growth of the children coping with the loss of their parents, it doesn't take long for this to descent into meaningless schlock. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonFlowers in the Attic is slow, stiff, stupid and senseless, a film utterly lacking in motivation, development and nuance, and further marred by embarrassingly flat acting and directing. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoBook-turned-movie skips the incest, but keeps the creepy. |
| New York TimesWalter GoodmanThey spend most of their time in the attic, where their eyes grow cavernous from makeup. |
| User ReviewHelen HBased on the novel! The book was really good and the movie was incredible: an eerie, wicked suspense! You have to remember everyone, this is based on the book and not of it is in the movie. Also remember.........this is a work of fiction. |
