V.C. Andrews' Heaven

This is literally the worst movie ever made. The acting is awful. The writing and plot make zero sense. The characters are so bad. I don't know how this got made. If you can't laugh at it, there's no point. Seriously is so nonsensical I don't even know where to begin. I feel like the only ones to blame for this piece of crap are the producers, and they should be run out of Hollywood on a rail for this thing existing. Worst most horrific thing that has ever been produced, I don't think even the 1986 Flowers in the Attic is worse than this thing. I cannot believe it's gotten above one star ever. So very, very awful.

I really wanted to like these movies. I love the books and was excited for them to be made into movies. But come on. A huge part of the story is that Heaven has black hair. The second one is literally called Dark Angel because of her hair. She looks just like her mom except she had black hair, Casteel hair.

Leigh had silverly blond hair which was another important point in the series. They cast a red head for the dark haired character and a dark haired actress for the one with blond hair.

Farthinggale Manor was another disappointment. That house doesn't even come close to what it was supposed to be.

Being Gen-x I did like Jason Priestley as Tony Tatterton but everything else was a pitiful attempt that ignored the source material.

Here's the sad truth. Jason Priestley and Kelly Rutherford are much better at the craft of acting than the performances the give in this series. Why they are delivering their lines in such horrific fashion is beyond my comprehension. Did the director say, "Deliver it like you're brand new to the craft."? As for the other actors, I had low expectations. But it's really sad to watch pros utterly bomb in from of the camera.

You're ruining V. C. Andrews works. If you're going to use her material then stick to it. Heaven Leigh Castel was the dark angel because she had dark black hair and was the picture image of her mother EXCEPT the hair. Reading comprehension has gone down the drain. At least now I understand why we have all these remakes, y'all can't write even when it's been already wrote for you. If you're a fan of Miss Andrews just don't. Tgese could have been written without the use of her name. Just call it something else and name your own characters and you'll have your own story because none of this is the Castel series. You've veered so far off from beginning to end it's not even funny anymore.

I enjoyed "Flowers in the attic" series, even though it was twisted, it made sense. This one I just had a hard time keeping up with and the characters were just over the top dramatic - it seems a little spoofy! Lol.
