Quote: Ahead of the new Lifetime movie adaptation of V.C. Andrews 1979 cult classic, we explore why incest plotlines are so enduring in popular culture

Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic, the movie adaptation of V.C. Andrews’ sordid and soapy tale of family dysfunction, will air tomorrow night, and for millions of American women in their 30s and 40s, it’s sure to be mandatory viewing.

The 1979 novel is remembered as the book that was passed beneath desks and read under covers—the raunchiest pages frayed, dog-eared, even highlighted by countless teenage girls.

Though 1987’s campy, unfaithfully rendered film version was generally considered a bust, Lifetime’s reboot is promising fealty to even the dirtiest details. And with a glittering cast of Kiernan Shipka, Heather Graham and Ellen Bursytn, the network is clearly banking on living-room premiere parties, replete with wine spritzers and butter-free popcorn. In fact, Lifetime is so confident that it’s already announced a sequel.

The plot of Flowers in the Attic is itself is a delicious assault on family morals, with details considered so lurid and depraved that a Vocativ employee, in her girlhood, recalls furtively reading it piecemeal in the magazine aisle as her mother shopped for groceries.

Few things in life are as sad as the accidental progressive..

This was already made into a movie back in 1987. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_in_...tic_(film)

Don't forget their brothers and sisters in Kentucky!

This wasn't passed under the desk in my HS. But I never really knew what it was about. I think someone told me child abuse at some point, but I don't really know.

I think the popularity of this book justifies my feeling about the 19th amendment.

Movie theaters are nothing but indoctrination chambers.

Liberals. That's how they roll. Tear down, destroy, defile and redesign.
