V.C. Andrews' Heaven

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.

This deep movie started off with a good storyline and plot, but along the way, unpredictable and too many happening around this family. I knew lots of families have problems, but this movie is fixated with them. The characters were great, but a believable scene with good moments would have been awesome and nice for the viewers to see.

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.

So many things wrong with these movies... i was basically thinking, why did they bother making them if they didn't want to stick to the same storyline?

The books were fantastic and they have made such a mess. The basic things that were important to the story line were the colour of the characters hair, it may seem like it wasn't important but if you are a fan of the books you will know why. Heaven was brunette, her mother Angel was Blonde, the next book is called 'Dark Angel' because heaven looked like Angel but dark. Her step mother Sarah was a red head and so were all her children except Fanny, she always wanted Luke's dark hair boy so he would love her, but in the movie Tom was dark hair. It's the whole character plot they lost with this.

Fanny should have been younger and cheeky, very promiscuous and beautiful.

Kitty should have been a Vuluptous Red Head. Leigh should have been a young beautiful blonde. So many issues with all these Characters that didn't suit the descriptions.

The other issue is the sets, just seemed so wrong, the cabin should have been shabby and poor, they made it seem modern and new. The set's were made to look like they were all Modern, but this should have been in the 60's in poor outback West Virginia. The manor Farthy was not luxurious enough.

They missed so much crucial plot in the first movie, where heaven and her siblings were left alone for months and they had no food left, they had to steal and find food themselves. They missed out on so much juicy details, just really poor and lazy, the acting wasn't great either.

Sorry but why did they bother, did the writers even read the books?
