Summary: Fun, once you get past the camp
Review: First off, this is NOT a good movie. It does NOT star Jack Nicholson, either (he has a very small, though very funny role). That said, it is really fun to watch. Although it's a bit hard to imagine, this is a horror-comedy. If you think about the plot, it is a horror movie, but it doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't think about the plot. It plays up it's campiness. This film is known for being the movie shot in two days. It's a wonderful example of low budget done not too badly. Little Shop of Horrors is entertaining, and its a must-see if you're a fan of the amazing musical, since you get a sense of how the production evolved. If you want a chilling movie or one that requires any mental work, this one can't begin to satisfy you. If you're willing to pay for a really fun movie which gives you a glimpse into the start of a great actor and a great musical, by all means buy this.

Summary: Little Shop 1960
Review: This is the original film made in 1960. That was shoot in 2 half days at a very low budgets. It made penuts compared to the 80s versions. There are some major changes in the orginal. Seymor is not an orphan. It he is not a love struck geek nerd in this one. Unlike in the remake and the play non of the main characters other than Seymor and the Dentist get eatten. There are some miner characters that get eaten. I gave it a three because some parts of it were kind of cheesy.

The part when Seymor feed the railway cop to audrey junior the body parts look so fake. There also is a cheesy scene near the very end when seymor berates the planet and refuses to feed it. The plant then manages to hypnotize semmyor and send him out to get food. Abother chesy scene when Seymor kills a hocker by throwing a rock up in the air. It lands on her head andd kills her. The end was okey. It would have been better if they had played the song Don't Feed the planets at the end form the Album and the off Broadway play version. I am big fan of Godzilla I think it would have been cool if they had put the incomplete sequence on here that was shoot a while a go of the planets destroying New York. If you like cheesy horror movies you will love the Original little shop of horros. Jack Niclson is not the main character he has a minor rule in the film as a patient that arrives at the dentist office shorly after Seymor kills the Dentist. If you want to she the Dentist better protrayed I suggest you she the remake with Rick Morransis.
