I really do think the rest of the family members and friends of the cast that are obviously reviewing this film, should have bad things occur to them for their dishonesty. I'd like to say this is utter garbage but that really would be unfair on the garbage. In fact, given the choice between watching this or sitting down and staring at a pile of rubbish in silence for 80-odd minutes I'd take the latter without question. It should be made a crime for films like these to be created in the first place. Everybody involved should hang their heads in shame.

I'm still in shock at what I just sat through.... I have no idea what the previous reviewers watched, but it couldn't have been this.
This film was dire in all departments - acting, production, story, script- you name it, this failed at it.
The story was ridiculous to the extreme, especially the way the husband just carries on with life (with his mistress). There was zero talent in the acting department and the extreme low budget meant that the whole thing looked and sounded like a straight to TV 1970s 'thriller'.
Honestly, this ranks up there with 'birdemic', please don't waste your valuable time with this, you will regret it. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

In this twisted thriller, we follow Sarah, happily married with two children. Everything changes when the psychopath Nigel abducts the loving wife, manipulating reality so brilliantly that the couple starts doubting each other. While the movie progresses twists and turns follow, leaving you at the edge of your seat. Everybody can rely to the wish of having a secure and loving family at home, which makes Flowerman so intense when we explore the creepiness and darkness of Sarah's and Nigel's relationship. Rob Burrows managed to create a dense plot. The actors pull it off just great. If you like thrillers and sinister antagonists, you should definitely give Flowerman a go.

I cannot rate this movie highly enough. It is one of those hidden gems that you come across on a dark night before bed. The relationship between the two main characters, Nigel and Sarah, is so dark, creepy and sinister that is seemed wrong to enjoy it. And the creepy character of Nigel Simmonds, he belongs up there alongside Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. And the actor who plays Nigel, Jason Savin, his performance is superb. Did he win any awards for this movie? Within the film is some delicious dialogue. It is so delightful. As soon as I had watched it I had to tell all my friends to watch it as well. We sometimes quote the dialogue to each other when we meet up. This movie is well written, well filmed and well acted - an absolute gem!

If you like movies with a solid plot and interesting characters that the filmmakers take time to develop, you should probably give this movie a watch. Unlike a lot of movies today, they take their time to form a plot and create real characters that you have feelings about and can relate to. This is lacking in so many movies made today that don't make an investment in their story and characters like this one does. There are also twists in the different perspectives they decide to explore. This isn't a one dimensional movie. What it is, is a really a fresh thriller. One that doesn't take the normal routes you've come to expect. Creepy and dark! This movie packs a good punch!

If you have seen the Lovely Bones this may remind you of it. It told the story of a spiritually pure and ideal family and their encounter with disturbing events that seemed to tear them apart. This was an unusual quality. It was simple but also sophisticated. It was certainly disturbing. It achieved this without horror – as in The Lovely Bones. It was because of this quality that the disturbing nature it makes and impression and the creepy quality of it was as good as any I have seen. One thing that it does is keep you guessing. The story is not predictable, far from it. It was well written, well directed and well acted and low budget. Don't let this fool you though. It does not have the cringe factor that can sometimes infect a low budget film. I think it is the sort of film that you will want to watch twice and be prepared to sleep with the light on!

This film is not for the faint of heart. Steel yourself to proceed. In a format of horror, this film explores the inner compulsions which are so self-destructive as to seem to come from some source far beyond the immediate reality.
From some kind of psycho Hell comes a psychic psychopath. A loving family is sucked into spiritual Hell with a psychic psychopath with the transcendental powers of a witch to turn love into fear and hate. Evil loves company and draws more evil from the innocent. Psycho and victims are drawn together by inner Hell that seeks some apotheosis from whatever source.

If you like horror films and like to be scared, you wont be disappointed. This has got to be one of the creepiest films I've seen in a long time, if not ever. The acting was solid, story compelling, the pace was just right and most of all, it was really entertaining. The idea of being stalked and not knowing who the stalker may be is a very scary concept. My girlfriend was on the edge of her seat the whole time. There are lots of twists and turns and I was not expecting that ending! I only wish we could have seen this in a movie theater, surrounded by other people, to hear the gasps and amplify the experience even more. We won't be sleeping any time soon. Anyone who likes this genre should put it on their must see lists of scary films.

This film is a very well constructed, psychological thriller with a perfectly disturbing villain and real characters who I cared very much about. It has just the right amount of uncertainty and mystery to keep me guessing as to what's going to happen next, and plenty of nail-biting suspense that kept me off kilter, thoroughly enjoying the ride the whole time. I normally don't even watch films this creepy at night because they keep me awake. This one fills the bill for late night creep factor, as it'll keep you sufficiently on edge. I'm a big fan of the thriller and psychological thriller genres, and Flowerman felt right on. If you want a good, creepy, suspenseful story, definitely check it out.

Sarah (Amy Ormston), her husband, Andrew (Ian Stewart Robinson), and their kids enjoy a quiet, small town life. Sarah works at a flower shop, where she encounters a rather odd man named Nigel (Jason Savin). Sarah is unaware that Nigel has been stalking her and her family, doing bizarre things, and growing increasingly obsessed with her. Untold horror ensues.
Sort of.
FLOWERMAN is a low-low budget film from the UK. Ormston is fairly convincing in her role, while Savin comes across as both insanely eeevil and intensely annoying. His nasal voice and ferret-like grimace provide a bounty of irritating moments. This approach makes him utterly detestable!
The other issue is the movie's length. At 94 minutes, about 15-20 minutes of meandering could have been excised.
MAN A$$ ALERT: Nigel's bumpy buttocks provide the only real nudity in the movie! Beware! Look away! Now!...
