Flowers in the Attic plus sequels

[MrsPelligrinoPetrichor]

Honestly,they're so bad they're good 🤣

Lifetime movies, need I say more 😉

Lots of memories of reading these books at school,those books were well thumbed 😂😂

They're on Paramount.

Which version are you talking about?
The one with Heather Graham?
According to Google there's a new one that came/ comes out this year called Flowers In The Attic: The Origin

Good god! Heaven was even weirder than FITC
The girl called Heavenly wasn't it.

@EHopes I can't believe we read all these at school!

Though I don't think they stocked them in the school library. We passed them around between friends as a 'must read' a bit like the Judy Blume books.

She's called Heaven Leigh, which I though was a great name when I was about 12 😂

I probably thought the same 😀

@FrankTheThunderbird. I think that looks like a prequel about ´the grandmother' Olivia? Though if it's something different hopefully they'll do a better FITA

That's the remake of Garden of Shadows; the grandmothers pre story to Flowers in the attic. AFAIK it's not on Paramount yet! Waiting with bated breath! 😁😁

My dad removed by Forever book by Judy Blume. He let me keep FITA! 🤣

Thanks. I thought it sounded like Garden of Shadows.

So which version are you all watching now because I'm sure I've seen more than 1.

I’ve been tempted to reread these, I do remember them getting increasingly more awful as the series went on. Yes to passing tatty copies around from as early as 2nd form. Year 8 ffs no way would I have been happy with my 12 year old reading them.

VA books were the first adult books I read - my mum had loads - luckily age 10 most of the content went over my head!

The storylines are always the same but they are so trash they are brilliant.

I'm watching Heaven with half an eye while doing some work and mumsnetting ( multi tasking!) It's even worse than FITA !! Logan Stonewall!!!

I'm on the second one, the acting is hilarious 😂

Omg Heaven was all about incest too , VA was obsessed by it!! Acting was really atrocious 🤣

I don’t think we have Paramount (is it an extra channel on Sky? We have the sports bundle I think) but after watching the Heather Graham film a few years back I bought all the books on Amazon and re-read them - tatty old paperbacks. I had kind of forgotten My Sweet Audrina and was truly agog at it.

Paramount not is a streaming service like Netflix,think sky customers get it free, we did but it's about £4 per month and you get a free trial.

not

Oh I loved these...what was the one with the house with all the clocks telling different times to make the girl not realise she was her dead sister who wasn't dead ?

If she doesn't have an affair with her brother/ grandad/ uncle I'm not interested 😉😂

@Theredjellybean that was My Sweet Audrina!

Oh I'm sure she does...I seem to recall the girl had been raped and the parents tried to block her memory of this by pretending a sister had died..who had the same name as her..and they gaslighted her...
It was bonkers..
I can see the MN thread now ,she would definitely be on the stately homes thread

We have Sky Q. It looks like it’s an app on there. I need to investigate. I’m on holiday this week so it would be so perfect if I could have a day lying on the couch watching these!

Yes, you just need to make an account and sign in, easy! Speak into the remote ' get Paramount ' or find it on the apps and it's pretty self explanatory from there. There is a LOT of good crap on there 😂

Hmm, it is part of Sky Cinema which we don’t pay for. However it looks like I can do a free seven day trial through Prime! I need to wait for DP to show me how to cancel it before I do anything though, because I have poor form in this.

I am very excited now!

Oh good a thread where I can admit I've watched all of these films.
Couldn't say that IRL!

I can't believe it was standard reading as a young teen.
I'd not be happy with my teen reading it now - such a hypocrite!

I AM IN!
