A clumsy Seymour Krelboyne (Jonathan Haze) treats a unique plant. He falls for Audrey Fulquard (Jackie Joseph) and the flower shop owner Gravis Mushnick (Mel Welles) gets the surprise of his life. The humor was there though at times forced because of the constant tripping of Seymour. I felt Mushnicks character was quite irritating. The story however and direction was interesting. The Little Shop of Horrors is worth a view for horror comedy fanatics who loves plants, are dentists or simply just have the audacity to view a film like this.

If you are a big fan of the Rick …
