The first screen adaptation of the 1980 novel of the same name and second novel in the Dollanganger series. Prior to the 2014 Lifetime version, the first novel of the series was adapted as Flowers in the Attic (1987) but the ending of the film deviated significantly from the book, killing off Corrine Dollanganger. Making an adaptation of the sequel novel proved impossible as its story followed Cathy Dollanganger seeking revenge on Corrine. See more »

it is the first impression. and the last. because, after the story from the first part, the expectations are not little. but the choice of director is far to be inspired or clear. the best solution seems be a kind of soap opera, few beautiful actors with a not too large chance to do more than decent work, with a sketch of revenge not real credible, with crumbs of stories and good intentions. and that is all. the result seems be an improvisation. not thriller, not drama. only a story without chances to give memories. confuse, unrealistic, a collection of crumbs who reminds another stories but only in delicate manner. it is not a bad film; only a disappointment for the public of the first part. because the story is interesting and the possibilities to use it many.
