Kirsty Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Victoria Tennant (LA Story) and Academy Award winner Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest) star in this haunting suspense thriller based on the novel that launched the extraordinary career of V.C. Andrews and won her a devoted following. When the father of four beautiful blond children dies in a tragic accident, their mother takes them to the foreboding family mansion she fled 17 years earlier. Their frightening grandmother locks them in an upstairs room, from which the only escape is into the cluttered and cobwebbed attic. The children must survive a nightmare of brutal cruelty, forbidden passion and a final shocking discovery that will shatter their innocence forever.
