Advantages: a good fiolm for the whole family.
Disadvantages: its abit old nowadays

Soon enough, Seymour ...

a great family film

Advantages: funny and a must-see
Disadvantages: may not be suitable for younger children

Behind the comedic plot of a giant-talking-man-eating plant that needs more meat as it grows bigger and bigger, the story is rather sad, as poor Seymour tries his best to satisy Audrey ll (the plant) and the girl of his dreams Audrey. A few laughs are definate with ...

It's curtains for the House of Usher

Advantages: Good scary fun. Vincent Price!
Disadvantages: Not available in high street shops

...Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher". He plays Roderick Usher, who lives with his sister Madeleine (Myrna Fahey) in an ancient crumbling house, which has belonged to their family for generations. One day, Madeleine's boyfriend Philip (Mark Damon) turns up at the house and Rodney is less than welcoming to him. The film is set at no particular time in history but it's probably 16th century. We find out that Rodney believes the Usher family ...
...one Usher child, all of the siblings have gone insane and died horrible deaths. As the days wear on, the effects of the curse reach a frightening climax. The film is heavily padded compared to the short story of the same name and the characters are rather different. The character of Roderick Usher is a little more sinister in this, whereas in the book, he is clearly unwell and he buries his sister by accident, a mistake which tortures him. I think ...

little shop of horrors - the original version

Advantages: brilliant
Disadvantages: black and white

...original version is by far the best - the actors are a lot better than the later version - you have;- Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles, Dick Miller, Myrtle Vail this version is in black and white which for some reason makes it scarier than the updated version. The basic plot is that a nerdy florist called seymour falls in love with audrey and names one of his plants (a venus flytrap) after her - he spends most of his day tending to the ...
