That was an excellent one.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Roger Corman's low-budget classic about Mushnick's flower shop on skid row where inept Seymour creates a hybrid plant, named Audrey Jr. after Seymour's co-worker and crush. Audrey II is sickly at first but once Seymour accidentally gives it some human blood, it grows quickly and is a big hit with the public, bringing in lots of new business for Mushnick. But to keep Audrey, Jr. happy and growing, Seymour must find new ways of getting it blood.It's a brilliantly creative black comedy, with a script by Corman and Charles B. Griffith. There just wasn't anything else quite like this when it was released. It does owe a little to another fun Corman and Griffith black comedy, A Bucket of Blood. The cast is made up of mostly forgotten actors today but they're all wonderful. Jonathan Haze and Jackie Joseph are likable as Seymour and Audrey. Myrtle Vail is a hoot as Seymour's hypochondriac mother. Mel Welles plays Mushnick and steals every scene he's in. The two most recognizable faces in the cast are Jack Nicholson in his famous cameo as a masochistic dental patient and Dick Miller as an oddball customer who eats flowers. The film is limited by its budget and how quickly it was shot. But those same limitations add to the charm of it as well as making it perfect for adapting to the stage, which it was in the 1980s. That version, a musical, was eventually turned into a great movie all its own. That is also the one I grew up with, having seen it many times before I ever saw this original. This is often cited as Corman's best work. That's debatable, I suppose, but it certainly has to be considered pretty high on the list. Very few of his films have stood the test of time and resonated quite the same as this one. It's a unique and funny movie with colorful characters and a good script. Love that ending!

Superb B movie mayhem.Either by design or through a fortunate coming together of genius this movie hits all the marks. Well paced with good balance of black humour. This movie could probably stand the test of time in it's own right but the sprinkling of artists who delivered well here and went on to greater heights just adds to its fun.I'm torn between the concept of "if an infinite number of monkeys directed an infinite number of films" and Corman's personal approach "make 'em fast 'n make 'em cheap" ... he had to strike gold eventually. As a Corman fan, for me everything just comes together in a perfect storm for this one, actors, writers and director and maybe he blew an extra $50 on this one.

just loved this movie to death,, every time I watch it it gets better I swear, think this is the second or third time I seen it much is made of the early Jack Nickolson appearance as the dental customer who just loves having all of his teeth pulled ,, it's' a great scene don't get me wrong, but this movie is about so much more, Aubrey first off steals the entire show,,, then I believe is our lovable store clerk,, and of course the store owner Mr. Mushnik,, I even love the old lady customers that come to the store,, the shop is very well done to I must admit,, I just love how our "hero" feeds the customers to Aubrey who keeps crying out Feed Me,, Feed Me.. it's just too freaking funny the way that happens the whole movie,, and his girlfriend she don't know what to make of the whole ordeal,, all in all one of the funniest horror movies ever made,, hats of to Roger Corman.

This movie starts out with comedy and in a way stays that way throughout the film, even though there are moment of murder there is still an underlying comedic feel to the movie. The acting was great a bit goof but for the purpose of the characters they were playing which made the movie a lot more enjoyable. The detectives that were trying to solve the murder were the best detectives ever, one cared more about solving the case instead of greaving over his child and their method of interigation is top notch they get straight to the point. Not sure what category of films this movie should be in whether that be horror or comedy but either one the movie is worth a watch.
