| | 'Flowers in the Attic' |
 | | Flowers in the Attic" is slow, stiff, stupid and senseless, a film utterly lacking in motivation, development and nuance, and further marred by embarrassingly flat acting and directing. |
 | | Grandmother (Louise Fletcher) is convinced the kids are the devil's spawn, though they look just like your average television sitcom group; to keep them a secret, she and Mom lock them in the attic, pretty much for good, while Mom tries to win back Granddaddy's love -- and, of course, some of the inheritance. |
 | | Well, maybe he's as dumb as one, too, and maybe that attic, which is as big as a condo and furnished like a Mazza Gallerie of the imagination, isn't such a bad place to be. |
