Flowers in the Attic

I was a sick person and still am in some ways. My guilty pleasure was those VC Andrews gothic fiction novels. Right before I sobered up from Alcohol, my mom threw away all my VC Andrews books yet I still carry the stories in my head. They made one of them into a movie, a cheesy movie I may add. I rented that for kicks so my husband could see it. The book contained a lot of incest in it which was not in the movie. The movie was a skeletal version of the book. If incest was added it could change the ratings or it would not be approved into the theaters.

Louise Fletcher was fabulous as the evil grandmother, but Victoria Tennent was awful as Corrine Foxworth(the mother). I think Nicole Kidman would have made a great Corrine and Kathleen Turner as the grandmother. I vote they do a remake of this film!
