Flowers in the Attics debuts on Lifetime tonight at 8p and you don’t want to miss it.
Corrine Dollanganger (Heather Graham) has the perfect life. She is married to the love of her life and she as 4 beautiful blonde kids, teenage son, Chris (Mason Dye), a teenage daughter Cathy (Kiernan Shipka) and twins Cory and Carrie. But their perfect world will come crashing down when Corrine’s husband is killed in a car accident. Corrine doesn’t know how to live without him, so she shuts down. She loses everything and is forced to return home to the parents who disowned her. Her mother (Ellen Burstyn), agrees to take them in but she has rules. The kids must stay in the attic and remain quiet. No one should know they are there including their dying grandfather because he doesn’t know they exist. Corrine tells them it will only be a little while, and once she wins her father over they will be able to be free again. But days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years; the four kids wonder if they will ever get out of the attic.
Will they? You just have to tune into the latest adaptation of the 1979 book. In fact, I watch the 1987 movie after I saw the Lifetime version and I enjoyed this one so much more.
