Advantages A Cult Musical Classic
Disadvantages Not to everybodies taste.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Little Shop Of Horrors has become a cult movie, a little like Rocky Horror Picture Show, but it started back in 1960 as a very low budget B movie which took Roger Carman only two days to produce and starred a very young Jack Nicholson as a masochistic patient at the dentists. It was in 1982 that Alan Menken and Howard Ashman got together and transformed the cult movie into a stage show. Keeping the humour of the show Menken wrote the music for it keeping it in the style of the late 50's and the early 60's. The zany lyrics were created by Howard Ashman who sadly passed ... more

Feed me Seymour 30/04/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Alot of extras over the video version.
Disadvantages none i can think of! not available in the uk?

Before I start, let me clarify, the version of this film I am reviewing is the 1986 Musical version directed by Frank Oz. NOT the 1960 version with Jack Nickelson. I also got the region 1 version. If you can find a region 2 DVD (I find it hard to believe as I searched long and hard!) it may not have all features I mention. This is a story about a singing plant, a daring hero, a sweet girl and a demented dentist!!! With its outrageous 80s attitude, this musical would probably appeal to similar cult followings as The Rocky Horror Picture Show! The film follows the entertainment that ensues in a ... more

Advantages Music, plot, acting, everything
Disadvantages None

The first time I saw this I was nearing the end of my school years, and my dad was musical director for a stage production of it. I got carried away with the music and drawn in, and so asked him to show me the film version of it. Little Shop Of Horrors was directed by Frank Oz, and features the arrival of a strange and interesting new plant in the failing Skid Row flower shop owned and run by Mushnik. His two employees are the geeky and friendless Seymour and the blonde bimbo Audrey. Other characters emerge as the film progresses, but the main protagonist to these two is the plant, named ... more

Scarily addictive 15/04/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages funny, watchable again and again, THE PLANT!
Disadvantages It's a musical, so if you don't like songs in a film...

Little shop of Horrors, if anyone has watched it, instantly becomes one of their favourites. It's actually a little known film but has a small dedicated following and I urge you to watch just to appreciate the magnificence of this little film. The dvd has a lot of extra features including some fabulous outtakes which are very funny. There are also documentaries behind the scenes of making the film which are good also (for us addicts!). The plot Mr Mushnik has taken in an orphan called Seymour. Seymour, now a man, helps Mushnik in a little flower shop on Skid Row, a place where the entire film ... more

Classic Family Flick 21/04/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages It is a film that people of young ages will enjoy because of the music but there is also the more adult humour that is not too heavy but will still create a giggle!
Disadvantages You will eventually annoy your siblings with the fact that the songs are easy to remember and difficult to stop singing!

Lets begin with saying what everybody wants in a film...everybody wants a film which is going to make them laugh, whether you are young or old, also everybody wants to watch a film knowing that no matter how crazy the characters may be, there is always someone you know that will relate to a character in the film (or maybe you yourself will!) to round up the perfect flick, you need action, something that will make your butt cheeks so strong you could crack wallnuts on them, but above all, everybody loves a love story. Well I present to you a film that holds it all! The Little Shop of Horrors ... more

Little shop of horrors dvd 02/08/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Good story line
Disadvantages Relatively bad effects

This musical is an story of 2 lovers one an shy "geeky" Seymour and the outgoing Audrey. However the feelings they have towards each other is brought to the surface by an dangerous money-making human eating plant. The plant, who Seymour named Audrey II, manipulates Seymour into doing things that are not like him. This film is an definite must-see, with an great storyline and some good vocal performances by Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene. The plant and special effects looks very good, for the time of the movie. The little shop of horrors is definitley worth £7 and i am a teenager and i think it is ... more

Scarily Brilliant! 12/11/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages A lot of extras and scene selection-great for jumping to your fave songs!
Disadvantages You'll be singing the songs for weeks!

The little shop of horrors will have you glued from the moment you press play-the catchy theme tune will stay with you forever. I found the film a bit slow to start with, but as soon as the songs started i was enjoying it and singing along with it. This film is brilliant for all the family (but little ones might get a little bit frighted at points), it's an upbeat musical with brilliant characters which i well acted-and of course the loveable (if slightly scary) plant. The only negative thing i can say about this is the songs will be in your head for a very long time-and you will want to watch ... more
