 Rated 4 out of 5
Roger Corman’’s florist-shop bloodfest classic
Roger Corman’’s original LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a classic cult B-movie that is full of classic one-liners and immortal performances.Jonathan Haze is fantastic as the nervous Seymour, who grows the Venus Fly-Trap plant (whom he calls "Audrey Junior") and ends up supporting it’’s flesh-eating habit. Jackie Joseph plays Seymour’’s long-suffering girlfriend Audrey, while Mel Welles plays Seymour’’s eternally-flabergasted employer Gravis Muschnick. But it is Myrtle Vail, as Seymour’’s mother, that gives perhaps the most hilarious performance. She is superb. Newcomer Jack Nicholson (yes, THAT Jack Nicholson) is fantastic in one of his early roles as a pain-addicted dentist fanatic. Later musicalized as a long-running Broadway musical (starring Ellen Greene as Audrey) which was later made into a successful film.  Rated 1 out of 5
Cheap film a curiousity
Created on a shoestring budget using pre-existing sets, this film was made in 3 days. It was a tongue in cheek film. But, the best thing about it is it inspired a great off-broadway musical which in itself inspired the wonderful musical film. But, if you are a cult film fan, Corman’’s flick might interest you. Otherwise, the cheap effects, horrible script and unispired direction will leave you out for blood. This is a public domain film and never looks wonderful. Watch for Jack Nicholson in a small role!
