| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) |
|---|
Produced and directed by Roger Corman, THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS has been theatrically released in 1960.
It's a black comedy involving a young clumsy flower store employee -Seymour Krelboyne- who creates a carnivorous plant that becomes soon bloodthirsty. At first, his boss, Gravis Mushnik, unaware of the needs of the green creature, makes money by exposing this vegetal creation in his store but he soon will discover the awful truth.
A cult classic.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
