Better than the book. - Flowers in the Attic review by CP Customer
I first read the book when I was a teenager and it's sequels and prequels and rather enjoyed them. So I thought I'd give the film a try. I was not disappointed.
It's a little slow in places, but I did prefer the film ending over the book ending. Not bad for a lazy afternoon's viewing.
