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 translated the title of the film into "Little Attic", so I later searched for the source of the film under this name, but I couldn't find it. The day before yesterday, I had an idea and searched the attic directly, and I found it. There was also a remake of 2014, which was so pleasantly surprised. When I was young, I only felt that the plot was strange. Now I think the story should expose the selfishness and ugliness of human nature. Because incest is involved, it is recommended that adults watch the movie. When I was a minor, I honestly didn't understand it.

Flowers in the Attic quotes

  • Grandmother: Your mother has come home after seventeen years to repent for her sins and for her crime. Not only against your grandfather and me, but against God! Your mother's marriage was unholy! A sacrilege! An abomination in the eyes of the Lord! She did not fall from Grace! She leapt! Into the arms of a man whose veins pulsed with the same blood as hers! Not a stranger, but her own uncle! And you, the children, are the devil's spawn! Evil from the moment of conception!

    Cathy: [shouts] I'm getting my mother!

    [gets up from the bed and runs to the door]

    Grandmother: [shouts] Come back here!

    [Cathy opens the door and sees John and screams and then returns to her bed]

    Grandmother: Sit down, be silent and don't move again until I leave.

  • Cathy: Why are you just standing there, Mother? Cory needs to be taken to a hospital there is no other decision to make

    [the mother just stands there looking and quivering]

    Cathy: What's wrong with you mother? Are you going to just stand there and think about yourself and your money while Cory lies there and dies? Don't you care what happens to him? Have you forgotten that you're his mother?

    Mother: Always it's you.

    [slaps Cathy]

    Cathy: [slaps her mother back]

    Chris: Cathy!

    Cathy: [shouts] Damn you to hell, Mama, if you don't take Cory to a hospital right now! You think you can go on doing whatever you want with us and nobody will ever find out? If Cory dies, Mama, you'll pay for it! One way or another, I will find a way. I promise you that.
