Flowers in the Attic

After their father dies, a mother brings her four children to their grandparents’ imposing mansion, hoping to regain her place in the family and secure financial support. The children are hidden away near the attic, where isolation, strict control, neglect, and deteriorating health turn their temporary confinement into a frightening struggle for survival.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like bleak Gothic family dramas with disturbing secrets and oppressive settings, but it is Not for you if you want fast pacing, subtle dialogue, or a faithful adaptation.
