Movie Reviews of The Little Shop of Horrors
Movie Review: 3D Little Shop of Horrors (2-D & 3-D Included)
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT buy this movie if you want to watch it in 3-D. one it doesnt come with glasses. which is ok for me as i own 2 different kind of glasses. the blue/red ones and the clear/grey ones. both those kinds DO NOT WORK! i guess you have to buy some 3-D special thing and special glasses to watch it in 3-D which i think runs like 100 dollars but not sure. so DO NOT BUY if you want to watch the 3-D version. what a joke they should post that you need to buy stuff to watch. glasses easy to get but to but special equiptment should be stated in the info as i would not have bought this knowing i could not watch in 3-D -_-;
Summary of The Little Shop of Horrors
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 favorite still generates plenty of laughs and chills deserving of repeat viewings. A musical version debuted off-Broadway in 1982 and led to a film starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.System Requirements:Running Time 70 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?796019794640 Manufacturer No:?79464Hilarious, cheapie black comedy from 1960 that may be the best film by B-picture master Roger Corman, other than Bucket of Blood, made about the same time with the same writer, Charles Griffith. Seymour (Jonathan Haze) is an assistant in a skid-row flower shop who's on the point of losing his job when the unusual plant he's developed turns the store into a major attraction. The only problem is that the plant needs human blood to live, all the while crying, "Feed me! FEED ME!" Luckily, Seymour causes a series of inadvertent deaths that more than make up for the food shortage. Jack Nicholson provides a comic sidebar as a nutjob masochist visiting a dentist's office. Giggling and wild-eyed from the same impulse that might lead others to read scandal sheets, he can be seen in the dentist's waiting room reading aloud from Pain magazine. Famous for having the shortest shooting schedule on record (two days and a night), The Little Shop of Horrors spawned an off-Broadway musical that was in turn made into a successful film in 1986, starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. It was in just this quick-shoot atmosphere that Corman nurtured the careers of many of America's most celebrated film directors; this little shop of honors included Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese, and Jonathan Demme. The DVD has optional Japanese subtitles, very generous bios of the stars and filmmakers, and a clean, crisp transfer. --Jim Gay
