It is important not to confuse this with the later Rick Moranis version, this is the 1960s playful B&W version, with Jack Nicholson. It is deffinate viewing if you are interested in any B movies, or the work of the great Roger Corman

Advantages: good film once you get into it
Disadvantages: takes a bit to get into the film

...surrounding them somehow know all the words. But even I am completely captivated by "Little Shop of Horrors", with its Motown-esque numbers, stellar cast, and dark yet hilarious brand of humour. Rick Moranis - showing off a surprisingly competent singing voice - takes the lead as down-on-his-luck uber-nerd Seymour Krelborn, the plant store assistant whose life is turned upside down by the arrival of a "mean green mother from outer-space". The newcomer ...
...sudden barrage of customers to the shop, but there's a catch. Audrey II has developed a taste for blood, and before too long Seymour's gonna have to feed him. On top form is Steve Martin as the floppy-fringed dentist who, when not exercising his particularly painful line in tooth-extraction, is squeaky-voiced Audrey's less-than-doting boyfriend. Also popping up along the way are the late great John Candy as a wacko radio DJ, James Belushi as an ... Read review

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 great. This film is both for lads and lasses aswell so don't be put off that it is a musical because the storyline is good.... Read review

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 away at the young age of 40 in 1992 whilst working on the Disney classic Aladdin, such a loss to the music industry. Well over 2,000 stage performances later in 1984 the musicals producer David Geffen started to move forward in... Read review

Advantages: great comedy horror full of laughs
Disadvantages: none

...This review is on the film only and not the dvd. In this movie Johnathan Haze stars as a really clumsy florist assistant Seymour. The movie starts with a musical called skidrow. Seymour works in a Skidrow flower shop for his boss Mr Mushkins and as there is very little custom in the store Seymour is at risk of losing his job unless buisness pics up. Seymour brings a strange man eating plant to the store to try and attract buisness and save his job. When the store is closed he is seeing to the plant when he cuts his finger the plants mouth opens and blood drips into its mouth and from that moment the plant starts to grow rapidly. Every night when the store is closed the plant demands to be fed so Seymour cuts his fingers and feeds it but when he runs out of fingers to cut he has to go on a killing spree in the streets...
