      The weird plot is unexpectedly unforgettable

      This was the film I saw in the third year of junior high. It was shown on the TV station and it was dubbed in Chinese. After many years, I can only remember the general plot, heavy and weird. At that time, it was still black and white TV, which only aggravated the weirdness. I am particularly afraid of horror movies. There are scary plots that can prevent me from sleeping for a month, but this movie did not scare me by accident and left a deep impression on me at the time. I remember that I...

      Blood Blossoms in the Attic

      "The Flower in the Attic" is a modern gothic, dark fairy tale-like alternative work. The filming is very special and unforgettable.

But the good times didn't last long, the male owner died unexpectedly, and the whole family immediately lost their financial support, so they...

      Two and a half stars, it's better than the atmosphere... In fact, this is a rather monotonous piece of deformed incest, with offspring, a selfish, poisonous child who is imprisoned by a mother. The child is too stupid, and even the final delight lacks strength, suspense and evil are not enough. The only good acting is the...

    • Chris: [about the mother] She never meant for us to leave that attic.

    • Mother: [Pretending not to know her children] Who's Cory?

      Chris: He was your son and my little brother, and you killed him.

      Cathy: Just like you tried to kill us.

      [Referring to their ragged appearance]

      Cathy: Look at us mother. How could you do this to us?

    • Chris: This way!

      Cathy: No Chris, they're not going to get away with this. We've got to go tell our Grandfather the truth.

      Chris: What difference does it make now? Let's just go!

      Cathy: No, Mother's not getting that money, not after the way she treated us. Now come on!
