Roger Corman directs a script by Charles B. Griffith; filming two days and one night coming up with a black comedy masterpiece. A low budget success that quickly became a cult classic. A hapless nerd(Jonathan Haze)in order to keep his job at the Mushnick Flower Shop creates a hybrid plant that needs human blood to flourish. Seymour(Haze)names the plant after his girlfriend Audrey(Jackie Joseph). Why is it fun to laugh at serious situations? Also in the cast are Dick Miller, Wally Campo and a young Jack Nicholson with a hilarious bit part. Haze is convincing as the bumbling idiot. Joseph is so irritating it hurts. Merri Welles is fetching as the looker hooker. The special effects are bad enough to make this a hoot to watch and believe it or not is superior to the remake in 1986.
