1960

Roger Corman

The Little Shop of Horrors

SYNOPSIS

Seymour Krelboyne, a clumsy florist’s assistant, discovers a strange plant that craves human blood and flesh to grow. As the plant, named Audrey Jr., gets larger and more demanding, Seymour is forced to kill to keep it fed, becoming a local celebrity in the process. Roger Corman’s black comedy was shot in just two days on a shoestring budget. Featuring a young Jack Nicholson, it is a cult classic that mixes macabre horror with slapstick humor.

CRITIQUE

Roger Corman’s film is the ultimate triumph of efficiency, famously shot in two days and one night using leftover sets. It is a masterpiece of black comedy, blending Jewish humor with macabre horror. The film’s legacy is immense, inspiring a hit Broadway musical and a big-budget remake. It features a young Jack Nicholson in a scene-stealing role. It proves that a great script and committed performances can overcome any budget limitation, remaining one of the funniest and most enduring cult films ever made, far outliving its humble origins.
