Synopsis
From Roger Corman, the King of the B-Movies, comes this cult classic.
Little Shop is a prime example of what it takes to make a great movie for little money. Filmed in a surprising 2 days, this movie is a simple boy meets girl,
boy meets killer plant story. Seymour is a lonely orphan living in skid row. He
also works in a flower shop and has a unique hobby in plant hybrids. The result
is a Venus flytrap like plant he names Audrey II, after the pretty girl he works
with. Well it seems Audrey II has a craving for blood, and when Seymour can't
provide enough of his own blood he goes out and commits some klutzy murders to
feed Audrey II.
Trivia
The legend behind "The Little Shop of Horrors" is that a studio executive gave
low budget director Roger Corman a challenge: to make a film using a storefront
set before it was to be torn down. Necessity is the mother of art as well as
invention, and "The Little Shop of Horrors" could be Corman's best film. Charles
Griffith, who had previously collaborated with Corman on the cult classic
"A Bucket of Blood&nr=1", wrote the viciously funny script. Ignored upon release,
"The Little Shop of Horrors" slowly gained notoriety over the years. Its status
as a cult film was helped by the presence of then(?) obscure Jack Nicholson, who
has a small part as a maniacally masochistic dental patient. The film was remade
as "Please Don't Eat My Mother" (1972) and the sequel was "Little Shop" (1991).
It eventually became a successful Broadway musical, which in turn led to a 1986 remake of the film that featured and all-star cast.
