Petals On The Wind [DVD + Digital]

I love most anything by VC Andrews & read most of her books when I was a young teen. Anyone that knows her work knows that she deals with dark subjects like incest, rape, death & other things.

This was a great movie to provide some history for flowers in the attic

This was surprisingly accurate.They did leave out a few things.They changed a few things too.Henny died.Henny did not leave them. Henny died.If they didn't want to add the stroke scene.She could have just died in her sleep or something.That's what made me mad.Then...this doesn't really have anything to do with the movie but I despised the name Jory.Jory is a terrible name. Call you kid Julian or Cory. DONT CALL HIM JORY!Christopher gets a girlfriend. Again not in book. Then. . . They left out Madame Zolta (I think that's her name) She was sort of jerk but she deserved to be included.At that part when *spoilers* Julian puts glass in Yolanda's shoes. That was stupid. It made Cathy look like a sore loser. Why couldn't she just have been smoking pot like in the books?Then they just left in the middle of the performance!!!?! I hope their understudies were there.Cathy was not in the car when Julian was crippled. Yolanda was. Yolanda died. Julian was crippled. He did not die. He was crippled. Madame Marsha made him feel the need to kill himself.Anyway. Besides all of that and some other stuff I probably or accidentally left out. This was a pretty good movie. The ending was my favorite part. I really wish they'd have taken Cory's body with them. They forgot how Corrine screamed for Bart to go get her mother. She killed him. Olivia did not deserve to die that way. But the end was the best part. When Corrine is screaming in the mental asylum. That acting was the best. I cant wait for Garden of shadows :)

good movie not exactly like the book but no movie ever is enjoyed watching it it picks off after the first movie flowers in the attic where Christopher and cathy and the little sister escape the attack. the little sister ends up being wreally messed up though because the grandmother constantly said they were satans span so she ends up thainking she is satans span and goes around school carrying a doll with her all the time never talks and kids make fun of her and call her a freak a guy who is enfatued with her proposes to her so she goes to foxworth manor to see her mom even though her mom locks them in the attack gives um cooked and puts poison on um and her brother cory dies she also wrote her mom leters which her mom never repliyed to and sent back when she goes to the manor the mom is holding and event and living high on the hog she goes up to her mom says hi mom im getting married I would like you to come to my wedding the mom looks at her says you must have me with someone else I don't have any children and walks away from her daughter. daughter goes home bakes abunch of cookies puts poison on um takes um to her room eats um on her bed and diys Kathy and Cristopher find her. but I have given away a huge part of the movie so far but yes the second movie is just as sad as the first one but a good movie.

Okay

This is the 2nd in a series of movies based upon the V.C. Andrews books about the Doppleganger family. Petals on the Wind was actually a bit better than Flowers in the Attic (first in the series) but it was really difficult for the movie makers to cram this entire book into a 2 hour movie - the story in the movie seems to fly by somewhat but it covers the important parts. The trailer of this movie gave away TOO much information - it was very long and covered about every dramatic detail of the movie so that kind of spoiled the movie just a bit. Another thing...if you haven't read the book, be aware that this story involves an incestual relationship between the two main characters. It couldn't be left out as this relationship is a huge part of the entire series of books. If you have younger folks watching this, I'd suggest a discussion before and afterwards just to make sure they understand what is happening. The Lifetime network has released a teaser promising movies following this one based on the next two books in the series -If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday. I'm looking forward to watching those two as well!

Loved this movie.

I read this book series when I was a teenager and wished they'd made a movie for all them. This is a sequel to Flowers in the Attic which had a movie made of it in the 80s, but the way they ended it left no possibility for the movie sequel. Lifetime remade Flowers in the Attic last year and stayed true to the book ending so they could make this sequel. It was great to finally see it made into a movie! There are a few graphic sex scenes, so this isn't a movie to watch with the family. They recast ed the siblings in this one since they had aged 10 years and because of the more mature content. The acting is "tv acting", so don't expect "Oscar worthy" performances. But if you liked the book series, you will like this movie. Now if they'd just make movies of the rest of the books in the series, that'd be perfect!

Good film sequel
