Flowers in the Attic

Cathy (Kiernan Shipka) and her three siblings lose their father suddenly, and their mother Corrine (Heather Graham) takes them to the family estate she fled years ago. There the children face the cruelty of a ruthless grandmother who has no use for them. Deborah Chow, adapting V. C. Andrews's 1979 novel for Lifetime, keeps the camera close on the children, so the house feels smaller each time we return.
