The Little Shop of Horrors

About This Movie

Roger Corman's 1960 'The Little Shop of Horrors' is a delightful blend of comedy and horror that captures the essence of low-budget filmmaking. The film has this unique charm, with a quirky atmosphere that you just can't replicate. Seymour, played with an awkward earnestness, is the kind of character you root for despite the absurdity around him. The practical effects for Audrey II, the plant, are a fascinating mix of puppetry and creativity, really adding to the film's distinctive feel. The pacing is brisk, matching the delightful absurdity of the plot, and the performances, especially from Jonathan Haze and Jackie Joseph, really sell the over-the-top moments. It's a fascinating snapshot of Corman's early work, blending humor with the macabre in unexpected ways.
