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 littleshop 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. ...
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.
LittleShop 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 Audrey II by Seymour.
The plant's arrival, just when it seemed they would have to close the shop, sparks new interest in the shop. Initially a tiny little thing, Seymour nurtures it until one day he finds that in order for the plant to grow, there ...
Advantages: A Cult Musical Classic Disadvantages: Not to everybodies taste.
LITTLESHOP OF HORRORSLittleShop 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 ...
An offbeat horror classic about a Skid Row flower shop employee who creates a weird plant that feeds on human flesh. Jack Nicholson appears in his first film role as a dental patient who thrives on pain. Fully restored version.
King of the B's director Roger Corman shot this crazy beat-era classic in a mere two days, but it packs plenty of inspired lunacy and clever bits in its 70-minute running time. Jonathan Haze stars as clumsy assistant florist Seymour, who saves his job in Mr. Mushnik's skid-row flower shop when he brings in a unique man-eating plant. The problem is, it's a very hungry plant--every night it opens its huge jaws and demands to be fed, forcing poor Seymour to take to the street in search of victims lest he disappoint his boss and his adoring girlfriend Audrey (Jackie Joseph). From a zingy script by Charles Griffith, this hilarious black comedy overflows with great ideas and characters: Corman regular Dick Miller plays a hipster who eats flowers, and a very young Jack Nicholson takes a memorable turn as a masochistic dental patient. DRAGNET-style detective Joe Fink (Wally Campo) narrates as he slowly begins to track the killer down. This oft-revived favourite still generates plenty of laughs and chills, deserving of repeat viewings.
