Flowers In The Attic Movie Reaction First Time Watching
If the grandmother wanted to prevent the kids from “repeating the cycle”, locking up two teenagers who are just staring puberty in an attic, where they are the only people of the opposite sex they ever see, is probably the worst idea someone could ever think of.
Not the brightest was she?
she wanted to ensure it would happen so she could be like “told you Corinne’s line was bad”
Tbh that’s still not a good excuse😭 tbh I think that incest stuff might’ve just ran in the family bc no one in their right mind thinks of their family that way even if they do go through puberty together. The grandmother and mother are still in the wrong ofc
@@hers6694 We are animals and all our morals are social constructs. All we need to come back to our beast and animalistic behavior is a circumstance. No one on their right minds would think of killing their babies own babies to eat them, but people did that during Holodomor. And sex is one of our biological drives, just like hunger, thirst, pooping or sleeping, so in certain circumstances people end up behaving in ways they would never, like in a prison for example, many times even the super straight gangster has a male sexual partner, something he would’ve never even considered if he wasn’t in a circumstance that there are no other options. Under normal circumstances, no (or almost no) pre-teen to teenage siblings would see each other as potential partners, but being locked in an attic for several years with only each others company is no normal circumstance at all. If you decide to be crazy as the grandma and do this experiment to your future children, when you open the attic again after several years, there won’t be just 2 kids, there will be 3 lol.
@@jplayer7jonny410Morals are not social constructs stfu with ur gen z bs
Taking edibles and randomly watching Flowers in the Attic is wild 😂😂
I have never seen these guys in my life and that title made me click so fast. They're BRAVE bc i love the original Flowers movie and I would never do this😂
I was just thinking the same thing.
This version seems so bad when the book is a real physiological horror and the kids find out the truth super slowly (like they only find out the condition for the mom being accepted if she never had kids or never had them at the very end) and theyre trapped 3 years so they are innocent kids with normal brother/sister bond first but they trap them alone in an attic for 3 years even starving them while they have to raise the little ones and deal with everything else and puberty. The point in the books is the grandparents intense obsession with Christianity and perversion is what leads the family into first the mom developing the desire as a rebellious thing and then the grandkid from basically forced conditions and happens very differently SA involved. Also the grandma is never on their side like this version.it’s a self proclaimed prophecy made possible by the grandparents financial control over everyone and religious paranoia taking everything to the extreme
I discovered this book and the series about a decade ago, and as twisted and awful as it is, I love it!
I read these books as a middle schooler in the 80’s, I was maybe 11 or 12- and they are SO freaking CRAZY. Absolutely page turning, and there are SO MANY. I remember being weirdly obsessed with them, and also at the same time, feeling so wrong about wanting to read them. Really bizarre storyline…
I watched this version before the 1987 one and 1987 is definitely better even with the iffy acting. The progression was better paced and their characters (even the twins) felt more fleshed out and Christopher especially as he plays doctor for them.
The old one is so much better and when we find out it’s the mom poisoning them it was the biggest shock!
Yeah it seems really fast compared to the books, feels like whiplash, and you miss so much.
Fun Fact: In the prequel novel, the grandmother WAS a First Wave Feminist when she was young - but that was when she DIDN'T hate men (quite the opposite). She only started hating men after getting married, being raped and abused for years on end, and becoming a religious Fundamentalist.
VC Andrews based this story on one her doctor told her about being locked in the attic as a kid to preserve a family inheritance and a few famous cases of child abuse that were in the news. Carrie and Corey were directly based on a young girl who was locked in a cage without sunlight her whole life. Child abuse was a huge hot button issue in the late 70's and early 80's when the Flowers in the Attic series was written, so there were a bunch of horrific news stories that she drew inspiration from.
The prequel was written by a ghost writer.
Andrews said that her dr told her a story about helping kids who told him they lived in an attic. It as for pr, and likely was not true.
@@KindredKaye Garden of Shadows was a co-written thing. VC wrote the outline and some of it, and her ghostwriter finished it.
The grandmother (Olivia) is not their grandmother, their grandfather (Malcolm) graped his stepmother (Alicia) and got her pregnant. Malcolm and Olivia locked Alicia up til Corrine was born, then she and her son (Christopher) left and Olivia made out she was her baby. When they were older Corrine and Christopher fell in love and ran off together. So the incest and abuse is in the blood. Olivia and Malcolm are equally horrible.
dude swear the “family tree” is sickkkkkkk
BRO WHAT? Is this in the books?
@@bees.857 yep. They leave it out of the movies, but the prequel series includes it (i wouldn't call it accurate though, especially with how they portray Olivia and what happens to John Amos)
@@bees.857 yes
Didn't think this could be any more disturbing but here we are lol. Thanks y'all, I'm glad I didn't read the book.
Haha the movie is catagorized as 'Thriller, Romance'
EXCUSE ME, ROMANCE? Do they mean the kids bc i don't see them as if we're watching 'The Notebook'. I guess it's fine for fictional characters to have healthy incestuous relationships with perfect children but nah, I'm not rooting for any 'romance' in Flowers in the Attic lmao.
"Do you think either the husband is a good guy or more evil than her?"
Oh honey, he is way, waaay worse than the Grandmother.
He's basically the whole reason Olivia is the way she is (him and John Amos, anyway)
Olivia was just trying to deal with the monstrous situation in which she had very little power or say in the matter, other than being disenfranchised and ruined by Malcolm.
He was THE control FREAK. He had everyone under his thumb.
(Still, god forbid Corrine get an actual job!) @wendynerd1199
@@GeeNoniGee Corrine couldn't POSSIBLY get a job, HEAVEN FORBID!
I think what makes this movie so terrifying is there's actually people out there like this. If you've ever watched The Room with Brie Larson it's actually based off a true story of what her father did to her.
I… what? Room is nothing like flowers in the attic. And correct me if I’m wrong but Room is purely fictional based on a novel and it doesn’t have anything to do with Brie Larson’s family.
@@atp8108 it doesn't have anything to do with brie Larson's life. No Emma Donahue gave an interview saying she was inspired by actual events. The real life woman's name was Elizabeth fritzl and what her father did to her was terrifying.
@@tree6787 Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused for a minute there.
The room’s bad guy isn’t her father. He was a stranger that kidnapped her. The movie with the daughter that was locked in a secret room in the basement. He had children with her. That movie is called something else and it has a different actress
If up get a chance to watch the 2020 episode on the Turpin family. Terrifying true story. Those poor babies 15 children!🥺
Chris was breaking all the locks to make sure there was no chance for Cory and Carrie to accidentally get themselves locked up.
Its not based off a true story but the writer was in a horrible accident as a teen and bed bound for life. The themes of feeling trapped and inappropriate feelings for family i think stem from her being left depending on family and stuck in a body that doesn't work. Mostly she saw family so i can only imagine she would have had confusing feelings since she never got to go out and experience life on her own
2nd movie: Petals on the wind
3rd movie If there be thorns
And they just came out with a short series of the origin story.
How the hell could they get 3 movies out of this? Two movies I can understand but three seems like pushing it
@@TheMikeLawz the others are just as disturbing
@@TheMikeLawz Actually it's 4. 4th movie is Seeds of Yesterday.
4th movie, seeds of yesterday
@@TheMikeLawz It's one for each book.
“ that’s such a wig it’s crazy”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never thought I'd see anyone react to these movies. Y'all were hilarious! The movies are adapted from the books pretty well, and they get even more wild. Glad you guys had fun watching this one.
Thanks for watching along with us!
@@TheMikeLawz that movie has a sequel “Petals on the Wind” 👀 then “If There Be Thorns” and “Seeds of Yesterday”
The pacing of the sequels move at a pretty good clip, especially the second one.
@TheMikeLawz The movies aren't even close to how good the books are. The movies left out and changed so much especially the last movie. If you think the movies are crazy, read the books. Wayyyyyy more crazy. It didn't show how the kids ate mice to survive when they didn't have food or how in the 2nd book Cathy makes an older man fall in love with her when she wasn't even of age and how the last movie doesnt even mention Corinnes brother Joel being in the house with Bart manipulating everyone's move. The books are so much better.
There's a series out called Flowers in the Attic Origins. It stars from when Olivia meets Malcom (the grandma and grandpa in FITA) also it tells pretty much how all of this started with Corinne and Christopher Sr. And how messed up Malcolm (the Grandpa) really is, how wonderful Olivia (the grandma) can be, and how deranged Corinne actually is. It's like 4 hour and half episodes but SOOO worth it.
They need to watch it
I keep hearing that the prequel series is really disappointing and incompatible with the original 4 books
20:39 the grandmother was locked in closet by her parents when she was younger. That's why she freaked out.
😂 The commentary is killing me. 😂 I read the main book, have seen the original film, this film (several times) and the Lifetime series (which is so good). Seeing two men who aren’t familiar with the story react to it playing out on screen is hilarious. 🤣
the original 80's movie needs a reaction too. It's not as close to the books but still a gothic horror classic
I had no idea they even remade it till now, I loved the book and would watch the 80's version often
She didn’t even bury the kid. He was just placed in the attic.
There are several books in this series. The 5th book, Garden of Shadows is the prequel to the series and from grandma's POV. The kids are products of incest between half brother and half sister (they knew which is why they left their family, they were disowned) and later on the older two kids also go off and have a kid together. They are psychological thriller novels.
They didn't know they were siblings. They thought they were "just" uncle and niece
Kiernan shipka as cathy was bomb casting
I'm hoping they would just cast her as an adult in future book adaptations!
Kissing family on the lips is super weird but some ppl actually practice this. I remember a contestant on the show 'Survivor' who's dad greeted his son by kissing him on the lips to the shock of everyone esp the host Jeff Probst. Yup! that really happened.
Most people practice this...if you think it's weird you may as well admit to being sexually deviant because that is where your mind went 😂
@@adventuresinlaurenland nah dude your views are all kinds up fucked up. Kissing your family on the lips is in no way comparable to sexual deviancy. Just because someone may fuck in a way you don’t like is nothing compared to the weirdness of kissing family on the lips.
I'm a girl and when I was like very young, toddler age, I'd kiss both my parents as a loving gesture.
@adventuresinlaurenland I was sexually abused by a family member. I think kissing another family member on the lips is disgusting behavior. Absolutely inappropriate. Thinking it's gross doesn't make anyone a sexual deviant you a-hole.
Oh am I freaking excited for this one. In case you're not aware there's a whole series for Flowers In The Attic and more books turned into movies by V.C Andrews. I'm so excited to see you guys watch this!!
We know that there is a sequel to this one. We hope the video does well so we can watch the next one lol
@@TheMikeLawz it's about 4 movies. One for each book.
@@TheMikeLawz petals on the wind i think is the next one thats 2/4. hope so too...v.c. andrews stuff is actually pretty popular so despite the topic.....yea.....
If you're locked in an attic for years with no other human contact of course your sibling is gonna start looking good
UM NO BRUH
@@TheMikeLawz yeah it will...imagine if you are stuck in a room with your sister for years and seeing her naked? idk how can a healthy straight men can stand that unless you are impotent lol
While i do agree with what you’re saying, you could have phrased it better. Lmao
@@ethansolorzano5989 Probably but it's less fun that way
No. Just no. My brother is a nice guy and all but I could only see him for 10 years and never have a single one of those thoughts. Lol gross 🤢
Watch the 1987 version flowers in the attic. Louise Fletcher played grandma she was perfect for the part
13:55 just to say in this scene in the book she was actually fully naked and then he was saying along the lines of "your so beautiful how have you hidden your beauty from me"😭😭💀💀
“Dont end it there.. give me like a years later or something…” me every time I watch a movie lmao
That's definitely Jason from Stranger Things 💜💙🖤
JASON THAT POS
going into flowers and the attic movie blind is crazyyyy lol I read the books so when they remade the movies I knew what I was in for at least lol
Petals on the wind is so good its Cathy's revenge. I'm so here for it. Loved your reactions😊
Dude VC Andrew books are insane,, I read them way to young because my mom had like all of them and i would sneak them lol
Sweet home Alabama😂😂😂 sing with me😂😂😂😂
Just looked it up there are 4 movies! Now I wanna get super stoned and binge all of them lol
Spoiler about the father of the kids:
He's Corrine's (the mother) half brother AND uncle.
HOW
Grandma slept with Great Grandpa.
Its supposedly based off an encounter the writer met when she was young. He told her about being locked with his siblings in an attic for years. (I think he also mentioned the paper garden they created?)
I remember the first time I watched flowers in the attic at like 9 years old I was soo disturbed
That would scar me for life at that age
@@TheMikeLawz I didn't want to make eye contact with my brother afterward.
I think I was around the same age, when me and my siblings played too loud or like were being bad my mom would make us sit by her and watch whatever she wanted to watch which was usually a graphic horror movie or a lifetime movie. 🙃
You guys have to keep watching. It gets so much crazier.
I know right.
Folger's ad: the uncut version
I was obsessed with these books when I was like 11-13, and now at 37 I've revisited them in audiobooks and movies 2 weeks ago. This video though, is GOLD lol. I need to do this same thing with my friends who've never read or seen these hahaha. The Mystery science Theater 3000 style of watching movies is my everything
I first read Heaven by VC Andrews when i was 11 ♡ lol😂❤
@@lareineii I keep hearing this. That we all read her books so young lollllll we turned out ok....sorta....lol
Part 2 is ''Petals on the Winds''
Part 3 is ''If There be Thorns''
Part 4 is ''Seeds of Yesterday''
There is also a tv series called ''Flowers in the Attic : The Origin''
I had no idea there was sequel movies
@@Zoidd_Bergg Yes because they werent put on Netflix for some reason but yes those are all the movies. There is a prequel too in the books but I never read them
The way you two lose your minds is hilarious. This is definitely a disturbing story.
Thanks for the support Lu! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your reactions? Same. This movie is wildly uncomfortable in parts, lol.
Once they started bumping uglies together we were checked out
@@TheMikeLawz 🤣I guarantee you were not alone
“ what if it was really Santa?”😂😂
There are 3 sequels. Pettles on the wind and if there be thorns and seeds of yesterday
It's been a year you have to watch the sequel of this movie 😭 the title is If there be thorns !!!
It’s a whole series. The next is Petals on the Wind.
I've been CACKLING at your guy's reactions. xD
YALL HAVE TO WATCH THE ENTIRE SERIES PLEASE
Y’all have got to watch AT LEAST the second one. Love the videos!
I think the second one is in our future! Thanks for watching!
@@TheMikeLawz Hopefully real soon. I'm really impatient.
Dawg this was the funniest shit I’ve seen in awhile lmao. Keep at it!
Thanks for the support bro! 🙏🏻
Roman's high pitched cringe screeches in this🤌🏾🤌🏾 😂😂😂😂
I watched this as a kid. It traumatized me😂
i'm begging you guys to give the Evil Dead movies another chance. Evil Dead 2 is actually a half remake of the first and half sequel with a really different tone that I think you guys will like WAY more than the first movie. And Army of Darkness is amazing, Ash is such a fucking chad you can't not like him. Pleaaaaaase!
Holy gold Batman! I am going to literally make popcorn and have a shot of tequila when I watch this, this evening. 😂🥰
AAAYYYYYYYYY
Yessssssss!! This is reaction is MUCH needed to help me after this horrible week! 💜 can’t wait! 😊
Glad we could help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When he mentioned aliens in the attic I got so happy because I used to love that movie! I was literally talking About it yesterday
Lol, imagine if the movie was a remake of "Flowers in the Attic"but with aliens.
I remember reading the books as a teenager. They’re crazy. The prequel book is wild and is from Olivia’s pov. Explains why she’s horrible.
I think i get why the grandma rejected the painting: they're supposed to be hidden and not existant so if she just suddenly came around with this painting done by a bunch of children then it would look sus. And I'm guessing the grandma needs to hide them too cause if the grandpa finds out she was harboring them then her ass woukd be out on the streets as well as all of theirs so they had to distance themselves both from the kids.
i felt so sick and angry watching this whole series lol but the prequel is sooooooooo goooooddddd! the production, setting and acting is just so much better than the first 4 movie
Lifetime just finished the Origin story of how the Grandma became who she was in Flowers in the Attic! It was a lot! Y’all should check it out!
Agreed!
You have to watch the prequel with Max Irons to understand the full story. Even the back story of the grandmother.
When I was about 14 in 1986 I read both Flowers In The Attic and Hotel New Hampshire. Super creepy parrell vibes.
It's Jason from Stranger Things!
Yall gotta do petals in the wing , if there be thorns and seeds of yesterday. They’re the continuation of flowers in the attic
Guys can you please please please do the sequels or even other versions of this one! There is one from the 80s that is awesome, even though it is basically the same thing lmao! I've never came across y'all before but this video got recommended, I watched it and laughed so hard, I immediately subscribed🥰 now I've got some binge watching to do and I needed the chuckles today more than usual, so thanks💖💖💖
Better Plot than Inception
Woooah, I totally thought it was gunna be the old 80s one. 😂 I never watched this one
GOTTA DO PT 2 with the movies, the big time rush guy plays the older brother
The book is even more messed up 😂
Oh dang, they remade this movie?!? What rock have i been living under?
Ikr and with Kiernan shipka? I hate this rock!! I read this series so mamy times in my teens 😂
Did you recognize Granny? She also played the mom in The Exorcist. This was the best adaptation of the novel I had seen. This story continues for two more movies.
Yup, Ellen Burstyn.
@@stephaniegittinger7980 She was in the supernatural or paranormal, kinda spiritual drama, Resurrection, which I thought was pretty good movie. I won't give it away but it's not horror.
The original movie from the 80s is much better...definitely watch that one at some point
We thought this one was actually really good. If you're saying the original is actually better than I don't even know what to expect
The acting was way better, in the original, and the grandmother was way more sinister. I get chills just thinking about it.
@@TheMikeLawz yeah I mean it is good, because the story is interesting, but it’s nothing compared to the original...it is super haunting and very disturbing, it like sticks with you. This 2014 version is made for tv and the quality is very that, whereas the original is a actual film. You definitely HAVE to watch it...you’ll really like it.
@@TheMikeLawz There's no incest in the '87 version. It is more expensive. The grandmother was scarier but it was also critically panned. I still prefer the Lifetime versions.
Got excited to see this, as a fellow stoner and Flowers in the Attic enthusiast lmao.
I was a LITTLE sad y'all watched the Lifetime version of the film, rather than the original as I feel the original film adaptation is a bit truer to the novel than this version. Loved y'all feeling conflicted with the grandmother here, as this film's interpretation of her DOES try to give her some redeeming qualities (tries, but fails, though her and her actress ARE the best part of the Lifetime version of the film). The 1987 version of the film also had V.C Andrews, the author of the novel series, assist in writing for it. Highly recommend getting stoned and giving that one a watch, now that you've seen the lesser Lifetime version! I would super head over to your Patreon for the watch along, can't wait to see more from y'all!
SUBSCRIBED 👌
But the 1987 film changes the ending from the book, preventing the possibility of the following books being adapted.
The pacing and everything is definitely better, but that ending has always bugged me.
vc andrews wrote some very interesting books (although there were some ghostwritten after she died using her name & alleged unfinished manuscripts) which lifetime turned into movies you can't help but watch so hopefully after this series ya'll do the heaven series & the one off my sweet audrina next🍿👀🥤
If you had to pick from those which would be the GURATNEED watch?
heaven (casteel series) as with most vc andrews books has the same vibe as flowers in the attic (dollangangers series) plus the last lifetime movie in the series, web of dreams, is like an origin story
@@TheMikeLawz Personally I would prefer if you stuck with the Flowers series instead.
Ouuu the Heaven series is a roller coaster shocker for sure
In actuality, the father of the kids (Christopher) and Corrine were half brother and sister but they were brought up to think they were half uncle and neice. Corrine's mother (Alicia) married Malcolm's father, they had Christopher and then and Malcolm raped her. They then locked a pregnant Alicia in that same room and after the baby was born, she was passed off as belonging to Olivia and Malcolm. Malcolm always had a soft spot for beautiful women; they entranced him somehow, and he had a huge Oedipus complex related to it. Olivia (the grandmother) knew that if he saw the children, he would forget everything and welcome them in. Olivia herself felt love for them at first and forced herself to push it down.
I haven't read all 5 books in the series, but the ones I have are all really incestuous.
Ohh yeahhh mike this was a good one my boy keep it up brother💯💯
AYYYYYY TELO! Thanks my dude 🙏🏻
I’m glad this popped up on my feed they have no idea what’s to come love it lol
Everything after 14:54 😭😂 Y’all gonna watch JLo in Selena or Enough?👀
Ppl who keep saying the 87 version was better neglect to mention that the film received mostly negative reviews from critics and fans of the book, who both disliked the film's slow pacing, acting and plot changes. It currently holds a rating of 11% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 9 reviews. Whereas Lifetime's version (Love it or Hate it) was a huge hit.
The 1987 version was so bad it was good, especially the bathtub scene. "SINNERS!"
If you guys are looking for more lifetime movies to react to, I'd recommend Walking the Halls, The Perfect Cheerleader and Webcam Cheerleaders. They're pretty hilarious.
I'll take a look and see what's up. Thanks for the recommendations!
@@TheMikeLawz Don't bother with those and just stick with the Flowers series.
@@monchomoncho Oh, well .. fuck me, I guess.
I watched the original version of this movie and the new one and read snippets of the novel. I really believe the mom was evil the entire time and just pretended to love her family when her husband was alive because she had no other choice.
I see my mom likes this movie this is exactly how she treats us and then pretends she’s the victim
Wow! You need to see the rest ! It is crazy
I’m dying. You guys are hilarious. I laughed the whole time.
Watching you guys cringe over this movie is the best thing ever thank you!!
Thanks for watching along with us 🙏🏻
My friends and I were hooked on these books in high school
Disturbing fact, the actresses that plays Catherine was only 15 years old when she played in this movie and the actor of Christopher was 18 and they kissed
I have no idea who allowed this but it is as disturbing as what is happening in the movie
You should definitely watch the other 3 movies. At least the 2nd one. It’s so crazy you have to know what happens.
Flower in the attic is crazy!
You guys should watch the 1987 movie. I was thinking this was that. Kinda similar, but way better imo
In the 1980s, they tried to get Wes Craven to direct the first adaptation but they fired him when he infused the incest into the story which made the book series so popular
I seen this as a kid and had memories of it to this day, it was messed up. Never remembered the name of the movie until now. Its still messed up but at least now my childhood nightmares can be put to rest 😂
My brother called me as soon as the part came on where they started to show interest in each other and I was like NOOOOO
Pls do the sequel and prequels
BLESS TikTok for bringing me to this video 😂😂
I had no idea Jason Carver was in this movie. At least Mason Dye made his character nicer than in Stranger Things.
Jason will always be a menace to society
@@TheMikeLawz lol
A lot of VC Andrews novels were based on incest. It was weird like that... Lol
That's a little odd if that's a common theme in the books lol
@@TheMikeLawz not a little odd... EXTREMELY odd. I read several of her series of books and had to stop because it all family taboo relationships.
PS - the books are more descriptive than the lifetime movies and the next couple of stories are really out there.
Awww...yall should have watched the original, but I will still tune in for this reaction.
4:46 That Question is answered in Flowers in The Attic: The Origins (4 Part Series)
For the love of god where are the other reactions to the sequels
15:04 response is hilarious.
Surprisingly I never even heard of this series until I saw the Lifetime movies.
Is the grandma the mom from the original Exorcist ?
